Subject field(s)
  • Tools and Equipment (Textile Industries)
  • Wool Industry
  • Thread Spinning (Textiles)
DEF

[A] machine used for washing wool after carding to remove all impurities [and to dry] the tops after washing by passing them over steam-heated cylinders, or perforated cylinders through which hot air is forced.

OBS

This machine usually consists of two small washing or scouring tanks, drying cylinders, and a straightening gill-box. It is made in several forms, for each type certain constructional advantages or advantages for the material treated being claimed. It is employed either before or after combing to thoroughly clean worsted slivers or "tops, "for not only does the wool become sullied in passing through the several preparing machines, but impurities which cannot be extracted in the scouring bowls have revealed themselves and may here be conveniently got rid of. The process of "blueing" to give a white appearance to the slivers or tops is frequently resorted to, and is usually affected on the backwasher. The latest innovation in this machine is the adoption of hot air drying in place of cylinder drying.
