The Machine Drive

About 20% of production costs in a spinning mill fall under the heading “energy”, and of these costs about two thirds are incurred in the ring spinning section. For example,…

Introduction to Ring Spinning Frame

The ring spinning machine was invented in the year 1828 by the American Thorp. In 1830, another American, Jenk, contributed the traveller rotating on the ring. In more than 150…

What parameters influence the combing performance

Properties of cotton :  Fiber length and its uniformity: These parameters play critical role in deciding the combing performance. If the fibre has high short fibre content, then the improvement…

Introduction to combing

Combing process removes predetermined level of short fibres from the group of cotton fibres. It is well known that the cotton fibres have distribution of fibre lengths starting from long…

Principle of Rotor Spinning

The Rotor: The rotor is the main spinning element of the rotor-spinning m/c. Yarn quality ,character working performance of yarn productivity, & costs etc. all depend chiefly on the rotor.…

Warping Creels

Creel: Independently of the warping system, the threads are fed from bobbins placed on creels. The creels are simply metallic frames on which the feeding bobbins are fitted; they are…
