Problem 1: Find the draft of carding
machine if lap weight 500 gm/m and
sliver hank = 0.122.
Problem 2: Find the actual draft of a carding
m/c for mechanical draft = 86, waste
extraction = 7%, Lap hank is 0.0012, what
will be sliver hank?
Problem 3: A Carding m/c running with following:
•RPM of Feed Roller = 2
•RPM of Delivery Roller = 10
•Dia of Feed Roller = 2.3”
•Dia of Delivery Roller = 27”

Problem 4: Calculate the carding
machine efficiency (%) using the following
data-
•Sliver breakages = 10 Mins
•Stoppage due to can changes = 25 Mins
•Cleaning & other stoppages = 20 Mins
•Total working time = 8 hrs = 480 Mins

Total Stoppage Time = Sliver breakages +
Stoppage time due to can changes +
Cleaning & other Stoppages
= 10 + 25 + 20 = 55 Mins

find out the production per day in kg from the
following data-
•Delivery speed = 200 m/min Solution:
Here, Delivery sliver weight, W = 70 grains/yard
•Doffer dia = 27”
= 70/7000 = 0.01 lbs/yard
•Delivery sliver weight = 70 grains/yard L = 1 Yard

•Doffer speed = 10 RPM = ———————-
•Doffer dia = 27” …0.0097 x 840
•Delivery sliver weight = 68 = 0.122 Ne
grains/yard Surface speed of doffer = π x Doffer speed (rpm) x Doffer dia (inch)
•Efficiency = 95% = 3.1416 x 10 x 27
•Waste = 3% = 848.232 inch/min
•Tension draft = 1.1 Here, Tension draft = 1.1
Efficiency = 95% = 0.95
Waste = 3% = (100-3)/100 = 0.97

Problem 7: Weight of Empty can = 6 kg; wt. of Full can = 14kg
Sliver Hank = 0. 14, Doffer dia = 27”, Doffer speed = 18 RPM,
Efficiency = 80%; Time required to fill one can =?
Solution:
Here,
Sliver Weight = Full Can wt. – Empty Can wt. = 14-6=8 kg.
Doffer Speed = 18 rpm
Doffer Dia = 27”
Efficiency = 80% = 0.8
Sliver Hank = 0.14

Problem 8: Calculate the time taken for a card to exhaust a
Lap with following data. Lap weight = 35lbs; Sliver Hank = 0.
16; Efficiency = 85 %, Waste = 1 lb, Doffer dia = 27″, Doffer
speed = 10 RPM.
Solution:
Here, Sliver weight = (lap wt.- waste) =35-1= 34 lbs
i.e., Production of the sliver from 35 lbs lap is 34 lbs.
Doffer dia = 27”
Doffer speed = 10 rpm
Sliver hank = 0.16
Efficiency = 85% = 0.85
