METEL/FIREDETECTION3.3.6|THREE
Cotton fiber may catch some metal components while its fiber extraction
processwhichneedstoberemovedbeforeitgoesintoanyfurtherprocessing.
Cotton fiber also may generate sparks due to friction while passing through
connecting ducts. Thus it needs to be blown out. This is done just after the
blendomattakesupthefiberfromthemanuallyopenedbales.
