Use of Control Devices
Metal probes, placed on the delivery side of the drying unit, are used for controlling the dried wool moisture content (which must be uniform and predetermined); these probes measure the electrical capacity or resistance fluctuations, which vary according to the quantity of water contained in the fibres. It is however worth remembering that these measures are generally affected by the level of cleanness of the wool and by the possible presence of soluble salts.

Hollow spindle twisting machine
In this machine the hollow spindle with the binder yarn is positioned between two pairs of cylinders, while a hook, below the spindle and rotating in the same direction, twists the core and effect yarn (Figure 1).
Given the intermediate position of the spindle - it is located between the pair of feeding cylinders and the pair of delivery cylinders - the twists imparted during this first stage are in the opposite direction between the first and second length of the two yarns.

Method of Pre-opening
The bale opener (Figure 1) includes the "To" two-section horizontal conveyor on which the greasy wool bales are loaded; the bales pass from one sector to the following one and are turned upside down and are partially divided into big tufts of wool.
The "To" conveyor conveys the fibre mass very slowly towards the "Ti" slant apron; it is covered with large-diameter spikes which are bent in the direction of the feeding material, and the apron moves faster.

The carding room equipment
Carding room equipment can traditionally be broken down into three machines (or sometimes just two, when the raw material requires less intensive treatment) and a number of drums that is determined by the type of processing being carried out.
The carding action is repeated a number of times on each of the machines, thus, by the time they are delivered as a web, the fibres have undergone a considerable number of processing stages, which have left them clean and reasonably parallel with one
