A method for measuring the moisture content, the length and at least one dynamometric characteristic of textile fibers, includes pressing a layer of textile fibers between a pair of plates parallel to one another, withdrawing a line of textile fibers from said layer thus pressed and making the textile fibers of said line substantially coplanar and parallel to one another, bringing said line of textile fibers to a measuring area at which at least to perform one measuring step, moving the textile fibers away from the measuring area after having performed the at least one measuring step and measuring the moisture content of the textile fibers by means of microwave sensors.

Measuring method and device for measuring the moisture content, the length and/or at least one dynamometric characteristic of textile fibers, in particular cotton fibers

A measuring device for measuring stickiness, imperfections and impurities in textile fibers, such a device includes a housing inside which a pair of rollers are placed, arranged side by side to one another and rotating in opposite senses and between which a web of cotton fibers is made to pass. The rollers are heated, the sticky fractions of the web that adhere to the rollers after the passage of the web between them are detected, and the sticky fractions adhering to the rollers are removed, wherein the heating is controlled by a processing and control unit as a function of the temperature of the rollers detected by a temperature sensor associated with them.
