Ring Spinning

Ring Frame
There are three main technologies available for inserting this twist for
the purpose of creating a yarn structure. These are ring spinning, open
end (or rotor) spinning, and air jet (vortex) spinning.
Ring spinning
Ring spinning inserts twist by means of a rotating spindle (see figure
2.35). Ring spinning is both the slowest spinning method and the most
expensive because of the additional processes required (roving and
winding).

Ring spinning produces the strongest, finest, and softest yarn (see
figure 2.36). It is also the most mature spinning technology. The ring
spinning machine was first invented in 1828 by the American Thorp.
In 1830, another American scientist, Jenk, contributed the traveler
rotating on the ring. There have been many development has done in
ring spinning machine for the last years but the basic concept
remained unchanged.
Functions of ring frame:

1. Draft the roving until the required fineness is achieved

2. Twist the drafted strand to form yarn of required count and strength
3. Winding the twisted yarn on to the bobbin for suitable storage,
transportation and further processing.

Operations involved in ring frame:

1. Creeling
2. Drafting
3. Twisting
4. Winding
5. Building
6. Doffing

Some other modern spinning systems:

1. Open end rotor spinning system

2. Air Jet spinning system
3. Friction spinning system
4. Wrap spinning system

Advantage of Ring Spinning System:

1. Any type of material (Fibre) can be spun

2. Wide range of count can be processed
3. It delivers a yarn with optimum characteristics.
4. Idealized twisting system
5. It is uncomplicated and easy to operate
6. Higher yarn strength can be achieved
Disadvantages of Ring Spinning System:

1. Low production
2. Machine generates more heat

Limitations:
In ring spinning machine twisting and winding are done simultaneously. Thats why the
power consumption is higher.
