9. Cocoon Cooking

The cocoon cooking is mainly to make use of the effects of water and steam to let the cocoon cavity absorb a certain volume of water to cause the sericin around the silk to properly expand, moisten and dissolve, so as to reduce the gumming force among the silk, and thus to enable the cocoon silk to be separated continuously during silk reeling. The process of cocoon cooking is completed through the circulating stainless steel cocoon-cooking machine.
