How the reeling speed affects the silk quality?
There is a threshold in reeling speed beyond which the cocoons at each end in a basin cannot be maintained effectively by the reeler, which inturn affects the quality of silk. The optimum reeling speed is determined based on the non-breakable filament length. For e.g. While reeling 20/22 denier silk from cocoons having non-breakable filament length of 700 m the reeling speed recommended is 100 m/min.
