Tumble drying of textiles is associated with mechanical and thermal stress,which leads to textile damage and shedding of fibers. In this study, fibershedding from cotton textiles is investigated by evaluating the mass of fibersaccumulated on different filters positioned downstream of the tumble dryerdrum. The total mass of fibers at the end of drying was positively correlatedwith the dry mass of the loaded textiles. By observing the time-dependentaccumulation of fibers on a high-performance filter, three different phases offiber shedding could be identified. In the first phase, which lasted up toa textile moisture content of about 35%, only minimal fiber accumulationwas detected. The following phase lasted almost until the end of drying andshowed the highest fiber accumulation rates. In the last phase, the rate offiber accumulation decreased. The experiments also showed that longertumbling of textiles with a lower moisture content led to a greater totalmass of accumulated fibers. To reduce fiber shedding, damage to the textilesand the resulting pollution, it is recommended to reduce the mechanicalloading of textiles, especially in the final stages of the drying process.
