Abstract

The experimental investigations of manufacturing conditions and cotton plain fabric properties were conducted under the production conditions of Baranovichi Cotton Production Amalgamation on the shuttleless loom STB. Influence of the spade size position of the loom main shaft on the parameters of beating-up process (beating-up stripe, shed angle), on the fabric indices (warp and weft density, weft and warp shrinkage), and also on the fabric breaking properties and the weft and warp yarns extracted from the fabric was determined. The recommendations on the spade size setting are given for reducing the warp yarns breakage and raw materials consumption during the cotton fabric production.
