INTRODUCTION
 Spinning is the process of producing yarn.
This can be divided into two groups i.e.,
Spinning

Ring spinning Open-end spinning

•Rotor Spinning
•Airjet Spinning
•Self twist spinning
•Friction Spinning etc.,
Electro static spinning
Delivery speed : Upto 40 m/min
Raw material : cotton
Count range : Ne 20-40
Form of feed stock : Roving
Type of yarn : conventional, singles yarn
Yarn characteristics : good yarn quality at low
production
Advantages : Yarn structure similar to
ring yarn for fine yarns
Special features : Yarn quality strongly
dependent upon ambient conditions
Elite Spinning
Economic Advantages of Processing
Elite Yarn
 reduced yarn twist by up to 10%, maintaining the
yarn strength of conventional ring yarns. This
increase yarn production.

 The ends down rate in spinning Elite yarns is

reduced by 30 to 60% which improves spinning
efficiency.

 With the same winding speed in Autoconer as with

conventional ring yarns, there are less raise in
imperfections in elite yarn because elite yarn have
a better resistance to shifting. This implies that
higher winding speed
 20% of the Twist can be reduced in the Twisting
Machines ( For double Yarn) for certain types of
yarn which implies Higher Productivity with Less
cost in Twisting machines.

 Owing to the lower hairiness and higher tenacity

of elite yarns, the ends down rate in beaming is
reduced up to 30%.

 It helps to save up to 50% of sizing agents, while

the running behavior of weaving machines is the
same or even better. Cost saving in sizing and de
sizing can amount up to US$ 0.55 per kg of yarn.

 In Dyeing Saving of dyestuff is possible by means

of reduced twist, favors the absorption of color
pigments and chemical finishing agents.

1.Sliver
2.Drafting rollers with
aprons.
3.First nozzle.
4.Second nozzle.
5.Material outlet from
the nozzles.
Principle
Air vortex spinning
 Delivery speed : 100 -150 m/min
 Raw material : Synthetic fibres 40-50mm
 Count range : Ne 7.5 – 30, 20-80 tex
 Form of feed stock : Drawframe sliver
 Type of yarn : conventional, singles yarn
 Yarn characteristics : Low strength, twist variability
rough surface
 Advantages : No rapidly rotating parts,
simple machine
 Special features : Cotton cannot be spun
Technical specifications

 First nozzle’s air angular velocity is one

million per minute.
 Second nozzle’s air velocity is twice than the
first nozzle.
 Count range up to 10 to 80 Ne.
 Delivery rate up to 300 mpm.
 Draft range is 40to 400.
Repco spinning
 Delivery speed : Upto 300 m/min
 Raw material : Wool and synthetic fibres
 Count range : Ne 9/2 - 45/2 , 13-65 Tex*2
 Form of feed stock : Roving
 Type of yarn : Two fold yarn
 Yarn characteristics : Full, round, twist variations
 Advantages : Low space ,low noise,
low energy
 Special features : Preparatory machines of the
mill are retained
FRICTION SPINNING

Principle
Suction drums are used
to introduce twist instead
of Rotor.
DREF - 2
DREF – 2
 Delivery speed : 280 m/min
 Raw material : Wool, Bast fibres,Synthetics
 Count range : Ne 0.18 – 5 ;120-3300Tex
 Form of feed stock : Card sliver
 Type of yarn : Normal OE yarn
 Yarn characteristics : Woollen spun character,
round even
 Advantages : Spinning of waste,elimination
of process stages
 Special features : Production of effect Yarn,
Recycling
 Field of use : Home textiles, Carpets,
Blankets ,technical products.
DREF - 5
Technical specification
 Inlet speed rate - 0.85 to 8mpm
 Opening roller speed - 12,000rpm
 Front suction drum – 5,000rpm
 Back suction drum is rotating 9% less than that of the front
suction drum speed
 Delivery date – 200 to 300 mpm

 Count range – Dref 1  1-18 Ne

Dref 5  6-40 Ne
Rotor spinning technology
Solo spinning

 Solospun technology provides the means to produce a

single yarn that can be successfully woven in the warp.

 It uses a simples attachment to the ring frame that

modifies the yarn structure

 This modification greatly increases the security of

fibres in yarn surface.
