Roving Frame Machine Overview

The roving frame transforms sliver into roving by attenuating it with a draft between 5-18 and imparting slight twist between 30-60 TPM. This makes the roving strong enough for winding on a bobbin. The roving frame features a creel for feeding slivers from cans, a drafting section that attenuates the sliver, a twisting head that imparts strength, and a winding section that builds packages. It can process sliver hanks between 3.5-5.5 ktex into roving hanks of 200-1200 tex using 60-120 spindles operating at 100-1600 RPM to draft and twist the sliver before winding onto bobbins weighing less than 3 kg

Objectives
• To transform sliver in to roving attenuating it with a draft between
5-18
• To insert little twist ( 30- 60 TPM) into the roving to make it strong
enough for 3winding on a bobbin
• To form a le package suitable for following process of spinning

Process configuration: Roving frame

Creel Drafting Twisting Winding


(feeding slivers from cans (attenuation) (imparting strength) (package building)

No. of cans : 60- 120 Flyer speed: 100- 1600 rpm


Sliver hank : 3.5 - [Link] No. of flyer spindle : 60 -120

Roving hank : 200- 1200tex


Draft : 5 - 22 Bobbin weight : <3 Kg

Working principle
• Slivers from cans are drafted
by a 3over3 or 4over 4 drafting
unit
• The drafted fleece is twisted by
a twisting head known as
“flyer”
• The twisted roving is wound on
a bobbin following a preset
winding rule
• No. of spindle : 60-120
R Chattopadhyay, IITD 2018 5
Creel
• Diameter of draw frame can: 60cm
• Spindle gauze ( distance between two spindles) =
35cm
• No. of spindles = 120
• Length required to accommodate 120 spindles =
35x120 = 42m
• By arranging spindles in two rows the machine length
for accommodating spindles can be brought down to
21m
• No. of cans in 21m /(60+5)= 32
• Hence, rows required for 120 cans = 4 rows
