Abstract
An investigation is reported in which a pilot-scale Lo-flo scouring machine was used to scour a 9665-kg lot of crossbred fleece wool with no liquor discharge other than the rinse water. Scouring and centrifuging efficiencies and the quantities and compositions of all centrifuge streams are reported. Removal of contaminants by the centrifuges was: grease 88% water-solubles 54%; dirt 27%. The steady-state concentration of water-solubles in the first bowl was 34.7% w/w.Keywords
