Cotton

Producing Premier Quality Yarn

Founded in 1990, Crescent Cotton Products (CCP) was acquired by Crescent Steel and Allied Products Limited in 2000 and has 19,680 spindles and a production capacity of 385 bags a day.

CCP is known as an innovative and performance centric yarn producer with a broad variety of cotton and synthetic carded yarn. Using both local and imported cotton, the spinning unit produces a variety of high quality yarn of counts ranging from 10s to 31s, for greige fabric, towels and work wear.

With increased focus on the upstream process of yarn manufacturing, CCP’s strategy is to engage apparel brands. Quality of our products and client satisfaction has traditionally been our business goal and product hallmark. We consistently aim to improve and develop yarn products and incorporate technological advancements to achieve higher standards of quality.

The CCP spinning unit is located in the hub of the textile industry, at Jaranwala, near Faisalabad.

Our Products

Our product development team focuses on global spinning innovations to introduce new and re-engineered textile products by retaining the best talent, redefining production processes, ensuring quality management and introducing technological advancements.

Our products include carded compact cotton and synthetic yarn in counts ranging from 10s to 31s, with different blends such as PC, CVC, PPT and PV capable of producing Siro spun and Slub yarns.

Spinning Process

The primary objective of the spinning process is to assemble the long length yarn into a packaged form suitable for subsequent procedures such as weaving and knitting. The process comprises of the following steps:

Our cotton blends are created through mixing processes which incorporate the required parameters based on key cotton characteristics. Additionally, the mixing department lays down the conditions before the opening and cleaning process takes place.

The air flow in the blow room creates the desired conditions to open and clean cotton, remove micro dust, and recycle the waste. Our blow room consists of a variety of machines that carry out the different processes and achieve the required processing intensity as the tuft size of cotton becomes smaller and smaller.

The carding process is a very important stage in the treatment of cotton fibers. It opens the tuft into a single fiber, eliminates impurities and neps, removes short fibers and condenses the fibers into sliver. The carding process ensures efficient processing and enables us to achieve the highest standards in cotton cleanliness.

Drawing is the final process that improves quality and impacts the evenness of sliver. The aim of this process is to straighten the fibers and reduce the size of the strand. This is done by gradually sliding fibers past each other without breaking the continuity. Ultimate blending of cotton and synthetic fiber is achieved in this process.

The Simplex machine prepares cotton/synthetic sliver for the roving process by treating the drawn sliver before it enters the ring frame. We ensure parameters are carefully set to produce the specified count yarn. Roving is the step between sliver and yarn and at this point the loose fibers are rubbed into a single strand with minimal twists reducing the sliver to the appropriate size for spinning.

Ring spinning elongates the roving as it is passed through rollers. The ring spinning machine is used to twist and wind the roving into a special form of bobbin.

Auto Cone is the link between the last stages of yarn manufacturing and the first stage of fabric manufacturing.
