Question

The material flow of the warp sheet through different zones in a sizing machine is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\). 
A. Drying zone 
B. Size box zone 
C. Beaming zone 
D. Creel zone

• A. A, C, B, D
• B. D, B, A, C
• C. C, A, D, B
• D. B, D, C, A

Hint:

The sizing process follows a logical path: 1. Unwind the yarn (Creel). 2. Apply the size (Size Box). 3. Dry the yarn (Drying Zone). 4. Rewind onto the final beam (Beaming Zone).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the sizing machine (slasher) process. It begins with yarn supply and concludes with the sized beam.

Step 2: Order the zones logically.
- D. Creel zone: The process starts here. The creel receives weaver's beams from warping, feeding the yarn as a sheet into the machine.
- B. Size box zone: Following the creel, the yarn sheet enters the size box, where sizing chemical is applied.
- A. Drying zone: Immediately after, the wet, sized yarn is dried (e.g., via hot cylinders or a hot air chamber).
- C. Beaming zone (or Headstock): After drying, the yarn sheet is separated and wound onto the final loom beam at the headstock.

Step 3: Align the sequence with the provided options. The correct order is D \(\rightarrow\) B \(\rightarrow\) A \(\rightarrow\) C. This corresponds to option (B).
