Figure 4.
The image presents a detailed diagram of a mechanical process related to T-shirt handling, featuring several numbered operations from 1 to 7. At the left, a T-shirt enters the system through a depicted inlet, indicated by an arrow. This is followed by a series of connected gears numbered 1 to 7, showing their arrangement and interactions. The gears are interconnected, illustrating the movement as the T-shirt progresses through each mechanical stage. Certain components in the diagram are coloured in blue for emphasis, particularly parts related to fluid flow or action, which appears to lead to an outlet at the far right of the illustration. The diagram clearly delineates how each gear interacts within the mechanical system.Sketched process of mechanical recycling. numbered representation of important sub-processes from the feeding of the used textile (1) to the removal of the carded fiber mat (6) and non-processable components (7)
