PROCESSING LOOSE, RAW SLIVER ON THE MICHELMAN SIZING LINE

As can be seen from these short videos, the raw hemp sliver lacks uniformity and structural integrity to be processed continuously on the Michelman fiber sizing line, hence the need for modification to the 'S4 tape' - by arrangement, alignment and stitching.

THE TWO-WAY CONTROL JIG

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THE TWO-WAY CONTROL JIG So, first things first, I apologize to all the fans of F-CAD and to my dear blog...it's been more than three years now since I last updated. Life happened...or more precisely, PhD happened. Anyways, I am back! and moving ahead... A jig is a mechanical tool used in work holding, that guides a particular manufacturing process carried out on the work that is being held. Jigs are basically necessary to ensure accuracy and repeatability in manufacturing and material working. For instance, if you are cutting a specific dimension on a wood plank with a machine saw, there are chances that the plank may shift or become misaligned due to vibrations or human error. So, the jig comes into use, to help you position and hold down the plank while you machine it in-situ. In this way, you can work on several pieces of the wood, and the output will all be relatively same with minimal deviations.  In the same manner, this 2-way jig as the name goes, has been ...

THE CENTRIFUGE DRIER

 CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE CENTRIFUGE DRIER From our laboratory chemistry we all know what a centrifuge is and what it does, and how it does it. A centrifuge is a device in which a mixture of denser and lighter materials (normally dispersed in a liquid) is separated by being spun about a central axis AT HIGH SPEED. Yes! I had to capitalize that, for it is in its great rotary speed that the centrifuge achieves its primary task of separation.  In this particular machine, same high speec principle is used to dry, instead of separate. A typical real life application of this is our washing machine. During the drying stage of the laundry, the machine spins at very very great speeds, that throws out moist from the fabric. In the very same way, the machines dries inputs to it.  The machine full set up is not completed yet though.
