Measurement and Control of the Experimental condition of Cooked Cocoons in the Silk Producing Process

Abstract

In order to determine the cooking condition required for the characteristics of any given group of cocoons, the authors have developed a system for measuring the state of cooked cocoons after the cooking process and controling the elements of the cooking process in order to obtain the correct cooking condition. The same system is being used in the reeling process, and can replace the manual labor. Afterwards the authors conducted the experiments by use of the new system to evaluate the quality of a cooked cocoon and thus to control the cooking condition, and verified the validity of the system.
