Simplex Frame and its Parts

Ring-SpinningYarn / / 3 Comments

The chief function of the simplex frame is the attenuation of sliver. Insertion of protective twist in order to hold the fine strand of silver. Winding of roving into a package that can be transported, sorted, donned on ring spinning machine.After carding the cotton is passed through draw frames. The draw frame draws the cotton into thick strands.These are then spun into thinner strands on the simplex frame spindles. The output of the simples frame is fed to the ring frame spindles which complete t

Cone Winding in Ring Spinning systems

Ring-SpinningYarn / / Leave a Comment

The cop which is prepared in the ring frame is not suitable for further processing. So the yarn is converted into the shape of a cone which is prepared in the winding. Practical experience shows that winding process alters the yarn structure. The factors which affect the yarn structure during winding are bobbin geometry, bobbin unwinding behavior, and binding speed. This phenomenon does not affect the evenness of the yarn but it affects the properties of the yarn such as thick and thin places.

Yarn formation using Air-Jet Spinners

Air-Jet SpinningYarn / / Leave a Comment

The Air-Jet spinning is very sensitive to the fiber length and fiber length distribution(short fiber content) of the material being processed. The amount of wrapping twist varies depending upon the length of the wrapping fibers as only a part of the total extent is utilized to wrap the core fibers. Wrapping the fibers shorter 12.5 mm practically do not make a significant contribution to the strength of the yarn.Air-jet Spinning is suitable for processing medium and long staple comber cotton fibers a
