The purpose of the laboratory is to enable the plant to keep a check on how Dacron will perform on textile equipment in customers' mills. The machine you see here is a standard carding machine into which staple fiber is put to permit it to be changed into sliver- the rope like form being held by the operator. This is the first step in making yarn from Dacron staple. At every step along the way of this conversion, the plant is able to check yarn properties and behavior under mill conditions.` Show less |
