Blowroom
Objectives:
Opening
The raw material enters spinning mill in the highly compressed form to enable
optimum transport and storage condition in blow room. The bigger tufts of fibers
are made into smaller tufts with minimum damage to the fibers.
Cleaning
To remove foreign seed particles leave from fibers. During opening and cleaning
there is always loss of good fibers. So the blow room line is selected such that the
optimum opening and cleaning is obtained with minimum loss of good fibers. The
cleaning efficiency of cotton in blow room section is approximately 75 – 80%.
Dust Removal
To remove finer impurities like dust particles and very short fibers by suction units
e.g. cages. As the opening of the material increases the dust removal capacity also
increases.
Blending
To mix the different varieties of cotton bales thoroughly. This will give a homogeneous
distribution of fiber in the yarn cross section.
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 18
Cleaning in Blowroom:
A Blow room line eliminates app. 70-80% impurities.
Result depends upon raw material and the machine & on the environment condition.
Dust Removal:
Almost all machine of blow room line remove some amount of dust.
Suction unit takes out dust removal.
About 65-70% dust removed

can directly take the cotton tuft from bale & send it for further processing. It can
move left & right traverse and pluck the bale cotton.
Basic Function:
The basic function of blendomate is stripping bales & feeding to the down stream
machine with flock shaped material. The rotating take off roller, moves over the
bales, the material removed in the form of tufts, is transported pneumatically to
the downstream machine. The swiveltower with the take off unit can be turned
through 180 automatically. The flock shaped material taken pneumatically
conveyed to next machine. These small tufts are essential for optimum cleaning
.These small tufts offer a large surface area so trash, dust & dirt are exposed and
can be removed gently.

Introduction:
This is a machine for cleaning and extracting dust from cotton of any origin.
Impurities are removed gently and efficiently. The raw material is feed through
without nipping. The material enters via the tube connection. The clean material is
sucked through the tube & fed to the next machine.
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 22
Working:
The machine has only one roller. The material enters into the machine at one side
and streams through to the other side. In order to prevent flocks being drawn straight
through the machine.
The different type of beating elements result in- Coarse
opening, Medium opening, Fine opening.
Of tufts so that the impurities are liberated, micro dust are taken away by the positive
suction through perforated sheets.
The tufts are caught by the special tines on the roller. Cleaning intensity (rotating
speed of the roller) can be infinitely adapted to the raw material while the machine
is running. The guides plate carry the tufts in a spiral over the grid seven times.
The combination of cleaning intensity and waste rate ensures efficient cleaning with
only few second fibers left in the waste and no crushed waste particle.
Waste Disposal:
Waste is removed periodically via the air lock roller and the conduit. The interval is
determined by the pneumatic waste transport system. The air lock roller separates
the waste room from the transport air conduit. In this way the waste extraction
process at the grid is not affected.

 Working principal of Aero feed system :-
In the Rieter blow room one or two fine opener / cleaners open the fibres and feed them
into the distribution system.
The fibres pass through the fan and are blown into the transportation ducts that pass over
the tops of the chutes.
The top chamber of the chute has a perforated side sheet though which the transporting air
flows.
All of the transportation air has to pass through the perforated sheets, and depending upon
the degree of chute filling the fibre passes to the chute with the least resistance to air flow.
When all top chambers of the chutes are full, there is reduced airflow and the over-pressure
increases in the feeding ducts. A pressure sensitive switch, between the fan and the first
chute detects the pressure increase and stops the feeding machine.
Similarly, when the air pressure drops to a pre-set low level the feeding machine is again
started.
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 28
The chute is part of the aero feed pneumatic card feeding system. It can be used in a linear
arrangement or in the “U” form.
A cross-sectional view of a typical chute is shown in the illustration.
The fan blows the fibres through the fibre duct (1). Gravity and the airflow cause the fibres
to fill the upper feed chamber (2).
The transport air passes through the perforated sheet into the extraction air duct.
As fibre is fed to the lower chute, the perforated sheet is exposed allowing more air to flow
bringing additional fibre to the upper chute
The upper feeding chamber is equipped with a single feed roller (3), a feeding plate with a
defined nipping point to control the fibre flow to the opening roller (4), which opens the
material into tufts and transport the lower chute (5).

Drawframe
Draw frame is a very critical machine in the spinning process. It's influence on
quality, especially on evenness is very big. If draw frame is not set properly, it will
also result in drop in yarn strength and yarn elongation at break. The faults in the
sliver that come out of draw frame cannot be corrected. It will pass into the yarn.
A series of rollers rotating at different rates of speed elongate the sliver into a
single more uniform strand that is given a small amount of twist and fed into large
cans. The factors that affect the yarn quality are
1. The total draft
2. No of draw frame passages
3. Break draft
4. No of doublings
5. Grams/meter of sliver fed to the draw frame
6. Fiber length
7. Fiber fineness
8. Delivery speed
9. Type of drafting
10.Type of autoleveller
11.Autoleveller settings
Objects:
Fiber orientation:
To obtain an original strength of yarn the fibers must be arranged parallel in the
yarn. By drafting the fibers are straightened and lie parallel to the sliver axis.
Improve evenness of sliver:
The regularities of card sliver is very much affected due to the variation in the removal of
waste of the card and piecing after every stripping in flexible card clothing. The process of
doubling improves the regularity of the final sliver by averaging out the weight variations
existing in sliver feed to draw frame.
Blending:
The practice of feeding several slivers side by side through the draw frame and
recombing them at the front allows a very thorough blending of fibers in the
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 33
individual slivers and thus making the final sliver more uniform than card sliver in
fiber composition along its length.
Dust removal:
The draw frame is provided with a suction clearer which removes the dust, short
fibers tending to adhere to the roller during drafting
Breaker and Finisher:
Generally the card sliver is passed two times through the draw frame. The first
passage on draw frame is called breaker draw frame. In this passage carded can
sliver is fed to the draw frame, the can which is produced on the machine is called
breaker can. In the second passage comber can sliver is fed and the can produced
contains lesser number of hooks, known as the finisher can.
BREAKER DRAW FRAME:-
The sliver from carding is feed in this draw frame. Here primary drafting is done by
means of drafting rollers (Loose bush type). The top drafting rollers are weighted
pneumatically having spiral grooved on it’s periphery for better drafting. 8-12 cans
are fed to it and deliver 2 cans.
FINISHER DRAWS FRAME:-
The sliver from comber is feed in this draw frame. Here final drafting is done. The top
rollers are weighted pneumatically. 6-8 cans are fed to it and only one can is
delivered by it. It delivers one can

COMBING PREPARATION:-
INTRODUCTION:
The carded and drawn material is further attenuated on the speed frame and ring frames.
The quality of yarn of spun by using sequence of processing does not reach high level. This is
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 36
because of the presence of short fiber in the sliver. The process of combing is introduced for
reducing the short fiber content in the material and for improving the fiber configuration.
Consequently, combed material gives more even and stronger yarn which contains less nep
as well as
Unilap
OBJECT :-
The main object of this machine to convert the sliver into lap sheet for the use in
the comber.
FUNCTION OF UNILAP :-
1. Combining a number of slivers into a lap that is ideal for the combing operation.
2. Creating a batt with sufficient cohesion to ensure good lap winding.
3. Orienting the fibres to the point that they are optimal for both the lap condition and
combing action.
4. Produce a batt in which the fibres are uniformly distributed in the battcrosssection.
5. Supply laps that will have good unwinding characteristics on the comber.
Working principle :-
Slivers are entered into drafting and over feed plate. The SB 2 slivers are drafted in
the drafting system. The calendar roller draw the overlapping fleece into the loop
formation head due to the strong compression between the calendar roller, a lap
sheet is formed. This is then rolled onto a tube via the top rollers & lap discs. The
exchange of lap from supply empty tube takes places automatically.

Comber
Comber is a machine which removes short fibres. It is the most complicate machine
of the spinning department. The combing operation serves to improve the raw
material and influences yarn characteristics like yarn evenness, strength, cleanliness,
smoothness, and visual appearance. The yarn made of combed cotton needs less
twist than s carded yarn.
Objects:
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 38
Elimination of precisely pre-determined quantity of short fibers. Elimination of
remaining impurities.
Elimination of large proportion of the neps in the fiber material. Formation of
a sliver having maximum possible evenness.
TYPES OF FEED :-
There are two types of feed- Forward
feed &Backward feed.
In Forward feed the lap is feed during the forward movement of the Nipper. In the
Backward feed the lap is feed while the Nipper is rocking backward i.e. detaching
before the circular combs the fringe of the fibre.

Limitations of Ring Frame :-
The amount of heat developed in the traveler at high speeds is considered and it is
extremely difficult to conduct this heat away. So traveler speed is limited and hence
the production.
Modern developments:
1.Short stretch length:-
(The distance from the center of the front bottom roller to the lower edge of the
bobbin)
It reduces yarn tension and enables higher machine speeds with fewer end breakages.
2.Automatic speed control inverter for enhanced production:-
It offers precise control over the spindle speed in 7 different steps according to the
count pattern.
3.Twin traverse:-
It enhances life of apron and cots especially while processing coarse count and blends.
4.Double side simultaneous drive system for bottom rollers.
5.Powerful pneumatic suction system.
6.Automatic doffing
7.E-control- feed the required data at the control panel and machine itself will
calculate the required chase length, yarn length per chase, shift per chase, cop
base etc.
Post Spinning Processes
WINDING SECTION:
Yarn produced at ring frame is taken out in the form of processing and
transportation. During winding various faults such as neps, long thick ,short
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 46
thick, thin places, variation in color of yarn contamination in yarn etc are
removed.
OBJECT:
1. To produce a package with long continuous length of yarn.
2. To produce cone or cheese of specific length.
3. To remove weak places, slubsetc i.e. the yarn should be free from all types of
imperfections.
Precautions to be taken during winding:
1. Quality of splicing should be such that it does not spoil the appearance and at the
same time the strength loss in spliced yarn should be minimized.
2. Important yarn properties like yarn strength, elongation at break, appearance
should not be deteriorated.
3. Package should not contain winding faults i.e. hairiness and the no.
of naps shold not increase during winding.
The path of yarn in winding machine:
The bobbin is held in the bobbin holder called peg. The bobbin during
unwinding remains stationary. The path of the yarn in the winding section in
such that it
Passes from the unwinding unit to tensioning unit after passing through balloon
breaker and lower thread sensor.
The function of the balloon breaker is to prevent the formation of a larger
balloon so that more o. of ground drums can be accommodated in a lesser
space.
The function of lower thread sensor is to sense the presence of thread in
the lower portion. If it does not finds the thread in the lower portion then
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 47
the mother thinks that the bobbin has finished, so it ejects the bobbin &
rotates the creel to clamp the new bobbin.
After the disc type tensioned, the yarn passes from splicing unit. It then
passes from splicing unit to yarn clearer. Then from the electronic yarn
clearer to tension sensor & from the tension sensor it passes through the
waxing pin.
The waxing device applied the minute wax particles on the surface of the
running yarn.
After it passes in front of the holding pipe (which is used to catch fly) and
finally to the package holder.
BOBBIN CHANGE:
The winding unit computer initiates the bobbin change. If no yarn is present in
measuring lot of the lower end yarn sensor. The winding unit bobbin change
linkage ejects the empty bobbin and checks a new bobbin from the circular
magazine in which we can keep at maximum 5 bobbins and one has to leave
empty.
YARN GUIDE DRUM:
The guide grooves of the yarn guide drum place the yarn in cross wound
layers on the delivery package. Simultaneously the circumference of the yarn
guide drum drives the delivery package. This type of package drive has the
advantage that the winding speed remains uniform from the starting to the
finishing of the package regardless of the diameter. The yarn guide drum
rotated in opposite direction while the splicing of broken end is to carry out.
PACKAGE LIFT:
The package lift function lifts the package of the yarn guide drum at each
yarn break (or bobbin run out), in order to prevent the disturbance of outer
yarn layers of the delivery package. Disappearance of yarn from the
measuring slot of electronic clearer (e.g. due to yarn break or bobbin run
out) triggers a signal Activating the package lift function .
The yarn is placed in across wound fashion on the delivery package. The yarn
traversing occurs because of the yarn guide drums grooved can figured.
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 48
YARN TENSIONER:
The yarn tensioner applies uniform winding tension to the yarn in order to
remove the thin places and to obtain desired density of delivery package. At
the top there is a sensor, which senses the tension in the yarn & tries to
control the tension around the specified value, which has been feed in the
informatory of the machine. The sensor controls the tension in the yarn by
continuously monitoring the tension in the yarn & giving the signal to
motherboard , which in turns control it by the help of the disc tensioner.
DELIVERY PACKAGE DOFFER:
HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 49
Each delivery package contains the reselected yarn length. The automatic
package doffer places the full packages on a conveyor belt, positioned in
upper rear of the machine. The empty cone for doffing is taken from
individual magazines above each winding unit.
ELECTRONIC YARN CLEARER:
To remove the objectionable faults present in the yarn, the electronic yarn
clearer is provided. Following are the common faults-
 Short thick faults
 Long thick faults
 Thin faults
We have decide the setting in the electronic yarn clearer to remove the type
and size of faults as per requirement. The clearer efficiency varies from 80%-
90%. Depending on the winding speed the clearer recognizes the
predetermined limits of yarn. At reorganization of the yarn fault beyond
these limits the clear instantly cuts the yarn initiating a winding unit stop
and a subsequent joining cycle.
SPLICING OF YARN:
Utilizing compressed air, the splicer whirls the yarn ends together forming
knot less yarn. The tensile strength of the splice is nearly identical to yarn
strength. The two cut ends are inserted either into a mechanical device
which tapers them and intermingles the fibers or into air vortex tube which
untwists them and extracts the loose fibers thereby forming two correct
lengths for splicing. Splice testing takes place automatically at the winding
unit start as the splice pass through the clearer’s measuring slot.
AUTO SPEED REDUCTION:
Automatic reduction of speed when the yarn exceeded from a particular
decided length on bobbin. For example-if we have set a length of 5200m.
then after consuming or winding the 5200m length yarn of bobbin the speed
of groove drum automatically reduces to 80% for the rest length of yarn on
bobbin.

The clean material is sucked through the tube & fed to the next machine.
  • 22. HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 22 Working: The machine has only one roller. The material enters into the machine at one side and streams through to the other side. In order to prevent flocks being drawn straight through the machine. The different type of beating elements result in- Coarse opening, Medium opening, Fine opening. Of tufts so that the impurities are liberated, micro dust are taken away by the positive suction through perforated sheets. The tufts are caught by the special tines on the roller. Cleaning intensity (rotating speed of the roller) can be infinitely adapted to the raw material while the machine is running. The guides plate carry the tufts in a spiral over the grid seven times. The combination of cleaning intensity and waste rate ensures efficient cleaning with only few second fibers left in the waste and no crushed waste particle. Waste Disposal: Waste is removed periodically via the air lock roller and the conduit. The interval is determined by the pneumatic waste transport system. The air lock roller separates the waste room from the transport air conduit. In this way the waste extraction process at the grid is not affected.

The fibres pass through the fan and are blown into the transportation ducts that pass over the tops of the chutes. The top chamber of the chute has a perforated side sheet though which the transporting air flows. All of the transportation air has to pass through the perforated sheets, and depending upon the degree of chute filling the fibre passes to the chute with the least resistance to air flow. When all top chambers of the chutes are full, there is reduced airflow and the over-pressure increases in the feeding ducts. A pressure sensitive switch, between the fan and the first chute detects the pressure increase and stops the feeding machine. Similarly, when the air pressure drops to a pre-set low level the feeding machine is again started.
  • 28. HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 28 The chute is part of the aero feed pneumatic card feeding system. It can be used in a linear arrangement or in the “U” form. A cross-sectional view of a typical chute is shown in the illustration. The fan blows the fibres through the fibre duct (1). Gravity and the airflow cause the fibres to fill the upper feed chamber (2). The transport air passes through the perforated sheet into the extraction air duct. As fibre is fed to the lower chute, the perforated sheet is exposed allowing more air to flow bringing additional fibre to the upper chute The upper feeding chamber is equipped with a single feed roller (3), a feeding plate with a defined nipping point to control the fibre flow to the opening roller (4), which opens the material into tufts and transport the lower chute (5).  Specification of Chute feed system:- Production=15-80kg/hr/chute.

It's influence on quality, especially on evenness is very big. If draw frame is not set properly, it will also result in drop in yarn strength and yarn elongation at break. The faults in the sliver that come out of draw frame cannot be corrected. It will pass into the yarn. A series of rollers rotating at different rates of speed elongate the sliver into a single more uniform strand that is given a small amount of twist and fed into large cans. The factors that affect the yarn quality are 1. The total draft 2. No of draw frame passages 3. Break draft 4. No of doublings 5. Grams/meter of sliver fed to the draw frame 6. Fiber length 7. Fiber fineness 8. Delivery speed 9. Type of drafting 10.Type of autoleveller 11.Autoleveller settings Objects: Fiber orientation: To obtain an original strength of yarn the fibers must be arranged parallel in the yarn. By drafting the fibers are straightened and lie parallel to the sliver axis. Improve evenness of sliver: The regularities of card sliver is very much affected due to the variation in the removal of waste of the card and piecing after every stripping in flexible card clothing. The process of doubling improves the regularity of the final sliver by averaging out the weight variations existing in sliver feed to draw frame. Blending: The practice of feeding several slivers side by side through the draw frame and recombing them at the front allows a very thorough blending of fibers in the
  • 33. HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 33 individual slivers and thus making the final sliver more uniform than card sliver in fiber composition along its length. Dust removal: The draw frame is provided with a suction clearer which removes the dust, short fibers tending to adhere to the roller during drafting Breaker and Finisher: Generally the card sliver is passed two times through the draw frame. The first passage on draw frame is called breaker draw frame. In this passage carded can sliver is fed to the draw frame, the can which is produced on the machine is called breaker can. In the second passage comber can sliver is fed and the can produced contains lesser number of hooks, known as the finisher can. BREAKER DRAW FRAME:- The sliver from carding is feed in this draw frame. Here primary drafting is done by means of drafting rollers (Loose bush type). The top drafting rollers are weighted pneumatically having spiral grooved on it’s periphery for better drafting. 8-12 cans are fed to it and deliver 2 cans.

Consequently, combed material gives more even and stronger yarn which contains less nep as well as Unilap OBJECT :- The main object of this machine to convert the sliver into lap sheet for the use in the comber. FUNCTION OF UNILAP :- 1. Combining a number of slivers into a lap that is ideal for the combing operation. 2. Creating a batt with sufficient cohesion to ensure good lap winding. 3. Orienting the fibres to the point that they are optimal for both the lap condition and combing action. 4. Produce a batt in which the fibres are uniformly distributed in the battcrosssection. 5. Supply laps that will have good unwinding characteristics on the comber. Working principle :- Slivers are entered into drafting and over feed plate. The SB 2 slivers are drafted in the drafting system. The calendar roller draw the overlapping fleece into the loop formation head due to the strong compression between the calendar roller, a lap sheet is formed. This is then rolled onto a tube via the top rollers & lap discs. The exchange of lap from supply empty tube takes places automatically.

So traveler speed is limited and hence the production. Modern developments: 1.Short stretch length:- (The distance from the center of the front bottom roller to the lower edge of the bobbin) It reduces yarn tension and enables higher machine speeds with fewer end breakages. 2.Automatic speed control inverter for enhanced production:- It offers precise control over the spindle speed in 7 different steps according to the count pattern. 3.Twin traverse:- It enhances life of apron and cots especially while processing coarse count and blends. 4.Double side simultaneous drive system for bottom rollers. 5.Powerful pneumatic suction system. 6.Automatic doffing 7.E-control- feed the required data at the control panel and machine itself will calculate the required chase length, yarn length per chase, shift per chase, cop base etc. Post Spinning Processes WINDING SECTION: Yarn produced at ring frame is taken out in the form of processing and transportation. During winding various faults such as neps, long thick ,short
  • 46. HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 46 thick, thin places, variation in color of yarn contamination in yarn etc are removed. OBJECT: 1. To produce a package with long continuous length of yarn. 2. To produce cone or cheese of specific length. 3. To remove weak places, slubsetc i.e. the yarn should be free from all types of imperfections. Precautions to be taken during winding: 1. Quality of splicing should be such that it does not spoil the appearance and at the same time the strength loss in spliced yarn should be minimized. 2. Important yarn properties like yarn strength, elongation at break, appearance should not be deteriorated. 3. Package should not contain winding faults i.e. hairiness and the no. of naps shold not increase during winding. The path of yarn in winding machine: The bobbin is held in the bobbin holder called peg. The bobbin during unwinding remains stationary. The path of the yarn in the winding section in such that it Passes from the unwinding unit to tensioning unit after passing through balloon breaker and lower thread sensor. The function of the balloon breaker is to prevent the formation of a larger balloon so that more o. of ground drums can be accommodated in a lesser space. The function of lower thread sensor is to sense the presence of thread in the lower portion. If it does not finds the thread in the lower portion then
  • 47. HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 47 the mother thinks that the bobbin has finished, so it ejects the bobbin & rotates the creel to clamp the new bobbin. After the disc type tensioned, the yarn passes from splicing unit. It then passes from splicing unit to yarn clearer. Then from the electronic yarn clearer to tension sensor & from the tension sensor it passes through the waxing pin. The waxing device applied the minute wax particles on the surface of the running yarn. After it passes in front of the holding pipe (which is used to catch fly) and finally to the package holder. BOBBIN CHANGE: The winding unit computer initiates the bobbin change. If no yarn is present in measuring lot of the lower end yarn sensor. The winding unit bobbin change linkage ejects the empty bobbin and checks a new bobbin from the circular magazine in which we can keep at maximum 5 bobbins and one has to leave empty. YARN GUIDE DRUM: The guide grooves of the yarn guide drum place the yarn in cross wound layers on the delivery package. Simultaneously the circumference of the yarn guide drum drives the delivery package. This type of package drive has the advantage that the winding speed remains uniform from the starting to the finishing of the package regardless of the diameter. The yarn guide drum rotated in opposite direction while the splicing of broken end is to carry out. PACKAGE LIFT: The package lift function lifts the package of the yarn guide drum at each yarn break (or bobbin run out), in order to prevent the disturbance of outer yarn layers of the delivery package. Disappearance of yarn from the measuring slot of electronic clearer (e.g. due to yarn break or bobbin run out) triggers a signal Activating the package lift function . The yarn is placed in across wound fashion on the delivery package. The yarn traversing occurs because of the yarn guide drums grooved can figured.
  • 48. HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 48 YARN TENSIONER: The yarn tensioner applies uniform winding tension to the yarn in order to remove the thin places and to obtain desired density of delivery package. At the top there is a sensor, which senses the tension in the yarn & tries to control the tension around the specified value, which has been feed in the informatory of the machine. The sensor controls the tension in the yarn by continuously monitoring the tension in the yarn & giving the signal to motherboard , which in turns control it by the help of the disc tensioner. DELIVERY PACKAGE DOFFER:
  • 49. HIMANSHU SINGH, B.Tech (CTT), Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi Page 49 Each delivery package contains the reselected yarn length. The automatic package doffer places the full packages on a conveyor belt, positioned in upper rear of the machine. The empty cone for doffing is taken from individual magazines above each winding unit. ELECTRONIC YARN CLEARER: To remove the objectionable faults present in the yarn, the electronic yarn clearer is provided. Following are the common faults-  Short thick faults  Long thick faults  Thin faults We have decide the setting in the electronic yarn clearer to remove the type and size of faults as per requirement. The clearer efficiency varies from 80%- 90%. Depending on the winding speed the clearer recognizes the predetermined limits of yarn. At reorganization of the yarn fault beyond these limits the clear instantly cuts the yarn initiating a winding unit stop and a subsequent joining cycle. SPLICING OF YARN: Utilizing compressed air, the splicer whirls the yarn ends together forming knot less yarn. The tensile strength of the splice is nearly identical to yarn strength. The two cut ends are inserted either into a mechanical device which tapers them and intermingles the fibers or into air vortex tube which untwists them and extracts the loose fibers thereby forming two correct lengths for splicing. Splice testing takes place automatically at the winding unit start as the splice pass through the clearer’s measuring slot. AUTO SPEED REDUCTION: Automatic reduction of speed when the yarn exceeded from a particular decided length on bobbin. For example-if we have set a length of 5200m. then after consuming or winding the 5200m length yarn of bobbin the speed of groove drum automatically reduces to 80% for the rest length of yarn on bobbin.
