What Is a Cant Hook?

The fibers in the sliver are curved. The hook is located in front of the fiber advance, called the front hook, and the rear of the fiber is called the rear hook. The front and rear hooks are called double-ended hooks. During the production process, there are many hook fibers in the semi-products in the previous process. For example, the hook fibers in the card semi-product strips account for more than 60%, and the majority of the hooks in the future. Various processes have different effects on eliminating different types of hooks. For example, it is easier to eliminate the rear hook by drafting, and it is easier to eliminate the front hook by combing. It is necessary to arrange the subsequent processes and the number of passes according to the distribution of various hook fibers in the sliver. ^[1]
