Spinning
Simplex (Ring
Frame)
• The basic process sequence involved in the
manufacturing of the cotton yarn is shown above in the
chart.
• Some of the process like combing can be skipped when
some low quality yarn is required.
• The final end product of the spinning mill will be yarn
which can be delivered in different forms of packages like
cones, cheeses, hanks etc.
• The package may be selected according to the
convenience and for easy transportation as the weaving
or knitting mill will be away from the spinning mill in
normal.
Bale Opener
Bale Opener
• The cotton tufts are opened in this process.
• As the cotton arrives in an extremely compressed
condition the first operation is to loosen the matted
fibers
• The cotton fiber is loosened by means of rotating
spiked rollers of the bale opener.
Mixing
Mixing
• This is a process of mixing the same/different
category of fibers to get desired properties
and cost effectiveness.
• Mixing is done after the study of the essential
properties of fiber like staple length, Tensile
strength, fineness, uniformity etc.
Blow room
Blow room
• In this process the cleaning and opening of the
cotton is done by beaters and openers.
• The foreign materials like dust particles, seeds
of cotton and other impurities are partially
removed in this process.
• The cotton tufts are opened and cleaned in
this process and the cotton lap is made out.
Carding
Carding
• Carding is the heart of spinning in this process
the minute impurities like small seed particles,
immature fibers etc. are removed.
• The straightening and aligning of fibers are
done in this process.
• In carding the Blow room lap is attenuated to
the card sliver.
Drawing
Drawing
• Through drafting fibers get paralleled
• Up to Eight Carded Slivers are fed into the Draw-
Frame and they are stretched/Straightened and
made into a single sliver.
• Also fiber blending can be done at this stage.
Simplex (Speed Frame)
Simplex (Roving)
• Further drafting is done here to get the fibers
more aligned/paralleled.
• The Sliver from Draw-Frame is thicker and will
be difficult to be fed into the Ring-frame as is,
hence here the Slivers are stretched and were
made thinner by Drafting and mild twisting (so
as to strengthen the Roving).
• The End-Product from the Simplex is called as
Roving
Ring Spinning
• The roving is fed into the Ring-frame and is made
into yarn by further Drafting & Twisting.
• Basic Functions of Ring Frame are
• to draft the roving until the required fineness is
achieved
• To impart strength to the fiber, by inserting twist.
• Depending upon the yarn count required, the
drafting and twisting can be adjusted.
