TFO Yarn Doubling Production Calculation

The document describes a two-for-one twister machine producing a 4-ply yarn from polyester, cotton, and wool singles at 9,000 rpm with 96% efficiency and 900 twists per meter. It provides the individual counts and materials of the singles and calculates the production rate as 5.67 kg/100sp/hr based on a 2% twist contraction. The resultant yarn count before and after contraction is determined to be 12.24 Ne and 12.0 Ne respectively.

Assignment 6:Yarn Doubling

1. A Two-For-One twister is running at 9,000 rpm with 96% efficiency, and producing 4-ply yarn
from 60 denier polyester multi-filament yarn, 90 Ne dyed cotton single yarn, 15 tex grey combed
cotton single yarn and 50 Nm 100% wool single yarn with 900 twist per meter in plied yarn.
What is the production rate of the machine in terms of kg/100sp/hr if the twist contraction is 2%?

Solution:
TFO running speed = 9,000 rpm
Twisting rpm = 18000 rpm
Yarn twist = 900 t/m

3 ply
(i)

60 denier ;

(ii)

15 tex ;

(iii)

50 Nm ;

(iv)

90 Ne

Delivery speed =

= 88.59 Ne

= 39.37 Ne
50

0.59 = 29.5 Ne

m/min = 20 m/min

resultant count of 4-ply yarn before twist contraction

= 0.0132 + 0.0169 + 0.0282 + 0.01 = 0.0817


NR = 12.24 Ne or 48.24 tex
NR after twist contraction = 12.24 x 0.98 = 12.0 Ne or 49.23tex

Productivity =

kg/100sp/hr = 5.67 kg/100sp/hr
