Analysis of production machines for the conversion of pure wool into final products

Mogućnosti prerade ovčje vune su velike no ipak je ista zapostavljena unutar Republike Hrvatske do te mjere da se niti prerađuje u poluproizvod veće kvalitete, već predstavlja i relativno ozbiljan ekološki problem. U cilju osvještavanja o postupcima prerade vune napisan je ovaj rad koji uvodno opisuje kemijska i fizikalna svojstva vune kao i proces šišanja ovaca te sortiranja runa. Nakon toga slijedi analiza linijskog i malo-serijskog postrojenja za pranje i sušenje vune te ekstrakcije lanolina. Zaključno proizvodnji čiste vune analizirani su raznovrsni postupci u osiguranju kvalitete iste. Završno se razrađuje postupak proizvodnje prediva odnosno pređe, polukonca i konca zaključno sa analizom procesa strojnog tkanja i pletenja.Although sheep wool can be processed into lots of things, current situation in Croatia is that it is not processed in any way. Besides that, wool also represents serious ecological problem. With purpose of spreading knowledge about processing of wool this literature was created which begins by stating the physical and chemical properties of wool with explanation of sheep shearing alongside methods of sorting parts of fleeces. Subsequently, processes of wool scouring, wool drying and extraction of lanolin are explained. In conclusion of producing clean, scoured wool of demanded quality methods of wool quality control are explained. Literature continues with explanations of various machines found in processes of producing wool yarn and ends with analysis of machine weaving and knitting
