Experiment name:
Study on material passage diagram of speed frame / roving frame / simplex machine.
Introduction:
Speed frame is the machine where the sliver is subjected to one or more attenuating process to
the attenuated sliver receive a small amount of twist and is wound on bobbin suitable for
creeling at next process. Roving is the output product of speed frame. It is fine fiber stands
which is used in the find process of preparation for spinning. It is loosely twisted stands of
fibers.
Objects:
1. Attenuation of drawn sliver to from roving or required count of drafting.
2. Insert small amount of twist give required strength to roving.
3. Wind the roving onto the bobbin.
4. Build the roving in full length of bobbin in such a from which will facilitate handling,
transfers and feeding to ring frame.
The major tasks of the speed frame process are listed as follows:
1. Drafting: to reduce the size of the strand
2. Twisting: to impart necessary strength
3. Laying: to put the coils on the bobbins
4. Winding: to wind successive layers on the bobbin at the proper rate of speed
5. Building: to shorten successive layers to make conical ends on the package of roving
6. eparators/Spacer
7. Guide rollers
8. Drafting rollers
9. Dead weight
10. Flyers
11. Spindles
12. Motor
13. Bottom rollers
14. Rubber-covered top online rollers
15. Top arm
16. Aprons (top and bottom)
17. Condenser (inlet and floating)
18. Pressure arm
Material Passage diagram:
Description:
The feed material come from speed frame i.e. roving bobbin is placed on the creel. The creel
which is attached to the machine is umbrella type. Then feed material is passed under the guide
rollers and through the trumpet in to the drafting zone. Here some draft is inserted in to the
roving. The draft system is 3 over 3 drafting system with apron. The delivery material that is
delivered from the front roller is reached to the traveler over pneumatic waste collector, lappet
and through balloon controlling ring. Lappet is used to control the material path and balloon
controlling ring is used to control the balloon formation and spinning tension. Here roving is
twisted by the movement of the traveler around the ring. The yarn is then wound on the ring
cop.
Conclusion:
Our teacher and lab assistants are very much helpful to us. Their well teaching and instruction
help us greatly to understand material passage diagram of speed frame machine. I think this
practical will be very helpful in my future career.
