Unifloc Machine

In a Industries opening of the cotton bales having weight around 160kg is done with the help of unifloc machine. This unifloc machine consist of a beater which has an excellent opening system after opening at this machine the tufts of cotton are pushed into pipes and are made available for another processes with the help of blower.

MACHINE SPECIFICATION:-

No. of machine = 2
Make = RIETER
Model = A – 1/2
Transverse speed = 9.5 mpm
Production = 900 – 1000kg/hr.

DUST GAUGE:-

The open tufts of cotton are feed to the dust gauge after opening through unifloc machine with the help of suction. In this section the large dust and small particle are removed from the tufts of cotton.

METAL DETECTOR:-

At this stage any foreign like metals are detected and get separated with the help of the suction from the tufts of cotton.
Objective:-
Cotton fibres arrives in the mill in hard presses bales. So the objective of the blow room is to properly open this hard presses bale of cotton into small tufts. Opening of fibres in the blow room involves not only breaking the stock into small tufts but also to removes the impurities like dust, seed, metal pieces, pouches, stones etc. Opening of fibres in the blow room is essential to properly carry out the subsequent process of carding, drafting, roving and spinning.

    How Speed Frame / Roving Frame Yarn Spinning Machine Works

    How Speed Frame / Roving Frame Yarn Spinning Machine Works

    Speed Frame / Roving Frame:

    Speed frame and roving frame machine is very similar. Roving frame is a textile machine is used in spinning to build roving. Based on the various types of fiberthe thickness of the roving.  These machines may varying in the working principle of the drafting devices, the dimensions of the flyers, spindles, and bobbins & the method of forming the roving High precision CCD of roving frame can detect the roving tension and feed back it to PLC for adjusting with the setting value ,then can get the best technical curve and realize the constant tension. It is the pre process of Ring Spinning Machine.

    Closed Loop Control System for Yarn Spinning Machine :

    It select advanced position control scheme of servo accuracy. The control system of yarn spinning machine including 10 inch Touch Screen ,PLC and Inverter.

    Closed Loop Control System for yarn Spinning Machine
    Closed Loop Control System

    The four inverters of yarn spinning machine  can obtain the position signal of Flyer inverter and track the position synchronously, which to realize the reliable control of roving tension.

    SPEED FRAME PRODUCTION

    In Ring Spinning Department there are 3 speed frame

    • Make – ZINSER
    • Model – SAURER -681
    • Drafting system – 3 over 3
    • Spindle machine – 120
    • Draft – 5 (approx…)
    • Production – 1600 kg/shift
    • Efficiency – 85%

    Labour – 5 Worker/3 m/c (2 training)

    Technical Specification of Computerized Roving Machine :

    Safety protection : The high power and low power  of computerized roving machine is separately distributed in the electric cabinet so reduce the disturbance. The three-phase motor utilizes the contactor + heat relay structure to avoid over-load short circuit.

    CCD technical optimization : We have’ CD hardware and software design patent. CCD can check roving machine position and feedback data to PLC .then realize the optimization and memory of concerning process to make constant tension spinning.

    ATM network interface : A TM network interface of computerized roving frame  is supplied to make a network of all the machines.

    Intellectual alarm: Points distribution automatic alarming system of computerized roving frame  is utilized to register and record the alarming information. It has the advantages of wide-range alarm and showing accurate faults position. It can give detailed  diagnosis to the problem of the machine according to the historic alarm record.

    Soft start function :The machine allows frequent inching operation to adjust the flyer angle when repiece the roving. It also has the function of fixed flyer position stop, spinning tops thus if the machine stop, the flyer can reach designated angle that make the doffing easy.

    Anti-fineness function : When the machine starts or stops, the roving is easy to become thin at the twist cap position. We adjust the anti-fineness ratio to make the roving loose when machine starts or stops, so that the resistance is reduced to eliminate fineness.

    Package rectification :Since the inertia of rail lift and down, the roving package shoulder is always become uneven. The machine can eliminate the unevenness by adjusting the rectification ratio.

    Power off protection :No need to use storage battery or condenser. When the power off, the inverter can check the power off signal and use the inertia energy to make the motors stop steadily and synchronously to avoid fineness for spinning tops

    Doffing at fixed roving length and position : Through the automatic counting of the computer to guarantee the arrival of the rail to the doffing location at the fixed roving length in order to guarantee the deviation of every doff within one meter.

    Doff repiece length :Due to different roving machine type or other reason and spinning tops  the doffrepiece length is always too short. The machine can realize optimum repiece length through adjust doff repiece length ratio.

    Extra twist system : When spin long fiber low twist roving, the breakage is easy occur at upper part of presser. Then the roving twist can be increased in doffing through setting such parameters to promote the roving strength in flyer path. The extra twist system guarantee the doffing breakage of the low twist fiber at presser position so as to improve the efficiency of doffing.

    Fast reversing : The inverter can control the reverse of rail motor by utilizing corotation prior method to eliminate “stop” time at the time of reversing. In addition, the rail is drived by 3.0KW motor so that the reversing sen itivity is al 0 promoted and the temperature increasing time is shortened to prolong the service life of motor.

    Bobbin drag prevention function : When begin to wind a new bobbin, the flyer speed is high but the bobbin weight is low, the bobbin is easy to be dragged by flyer. The winding speed can be reduced when rail reversing through setting such parameter to eliminate bobbin drag.

    4-roller dual short apron drafting CNC Machine :

    4-roller dual short apron drafting  cnc machine  is developed on the base of 3-roller dual short apron drafting. A collecting roller is added in the front and consists of a collecting area. Cnc machine  shift the collector into collecting area and make the drafting and collecting separate so as there is no collection in drafting area and no drafting in collection area.

    4-roller dual short apron drafting cnc Machine
    Apron Drafting

    Since the collector is moved ahead, the length of roaming area is decteased, thus improve the roving quality. Chinese YI series drafting, German Suessen weighting arm, German TEXPARTS drafting is option.

    Speed Frame Feature

    • Total draft should be around 10 for 4 over 4 drafting system.
    • Better to use floating condenser in front zone to reduce hairiness & diameter of roving.
    • Cots buffing should be done once in 2 months. Top roller run out to be checked & it should be nil. There should not be any compromise on top roller quality as it’s cost is negligible with compare to ring frame.
    • If possible it should be treated with surface treatment like treatment with Liqimix or treated with acid to reduce top clearer waste which is caused by top roller surface.
    • Twist Multiplier should be high enough to reduce stretch in Ring frame. Higher the T.M lower the classimat “H1” faults
    • If single speed for flyer is used, it is advisable to run less than 1000 rpm.
    • When speed frame bobbin is full, flyer speed should be less than 1000rpm. Otherwise surface cuts increase & thin places also increase.
    • False twisters should be changed once in 2 years. Variations in false twisters result in high count C.V%.
    • Roving tension should be as low & uniform as possible. The higher the roving tension, the higher the count C.V% & the more the thin places.
    • Density of all roving bobbins should be same. The higher the variation, the higher the count C.V%.
    • Break draft should be around 1.18 to 1.24 depending on type of drafting system & total draft.
    • Roving hank should be decided in such a way that ring frame draft is around 20-34 for different counts.
    • No sliver piecing or roving piecing from speed frame should be worked in Ring frame. All sliver piecing & roving piecing result in thin/thick yarn. Some times it is cut by clearer, but all yarn faults created by piecings are not cut by clearers.

    Roller Transmission Parts of Speed Frame :

    The helical gear of roller transmission of speed frame machine is made of high quality steel. The gear is grinded after high-frequency quenching so it has high precision and its transmission is steady.

    Roller transmission parts of speed frame
    Parts of Roller Transmission

    Cleaning Speedframe Device:

    The cleaning system of Speedframe  machine utilizes active rotation cloth up and bottom roller clearer, traveling clearer and suction air passage. The fly on surface and waste from bottom clearer is blew to the suction air passage then be sucked away.

    Cleaning device of Speedframe
    Cleaning Process

    The traveling clearer sucks the waster on the cover of top clearer so that avoid the waste being wrapped into the roving. It can prevent the speedframe defect and reduce the labor of operators.

    Feed device of Single Speed Frame:

    The sliver feed device of speed frame uses overhead sliver guide. Aluminum alloy guide roller, static electricity painting guide roller and stainless steel guide roller are optional. The sliver guide and separator of single speed frame is made of cast plastic, smooth in surface. We can design different layout of sliver guide rollers according to the diameter of buyer’s sliver cans.

    A brief description about organic cotton

     Introduction to organic cotton: organic cotton is grown using technique and materials that have little to no impact on the environment. Organic production practices for preserving soil fertility eliminate the use of toxic chemical pesticides and fertilizers, supporting a biologically sustainable agriculture.

    Necessity of organic cotton: with increased awareness of global warming and the importance of the earth’s conservation, both corporation and consumers are falling in line to support efforts and products that promote responsible use of natural resources.

    “global organic cotton product sales increased an estimated 35% annually from 245 million dollar in 2001 to 583 million dollar in 2005.” —fortune magazine july ‘2006.

    “global organic cotton product sales are expected to skyrocket to 2.6 billion dollar by the end of 2008.”

    — organic exchange spring 2006 global organic cotton market report.

    Organic is the right thing to do and now is the right time to do it.

    Step should be taken for organic production

    StepsOrganic
    1. Seed preparation–          Use untreated seeds.

     

    –          Never uses gmo (genetic modified organism) seeds.

    2. Soil & water–          Builds strong soil through crop rotation

     

    –          Retains water more efficiently thanks to increased organic matter in the soil.

    3. Weed control–   control weeds through cultivation hand hoeing.
    4. Pest control–          Maintains a balance between “pests” and their predators through healthy soil

     

    –          Uses beneficial insects, biological and cultural practices to control pests.

    5. Harvesting–          Relies mostly on the seasonal freeze for defoliation.

     

    –          May stimulate defoliation through water management.

      
    6. Ginning, spinning, knitting and weaving     –   machinery is cleaned before use to avoid any contamination.

     

     

    7. Dyeing and finishing–          Only chemicals that meet organic fibre processing stands are used.

     

    –          Only etad(ecological and toxicological association of dyes and organic pigment manufactures) approved dyes.

    8. Cutting and sewing–          Organic fabric is kept separate, clearly identified and

     

    tracked through out the cutting and sewing process.

    Why are organic products more costly:

    # limted availability of 100% organic cotton.

    # hiher cost to grow and harvest (more labor intensive).

    # smaller quantities being process into yarn.

    # increased manufacturing costs of line shutdown and cleaning, plus the costs of tracking the products throughout the manufacturing process and the documentation required for certification of the 100% organic claim.

    Organizations dealing with organic cotton: the ota (organic trade association) is one of the four members of gots (international working group on global organic textile standards); the others members are the soil association (england), international association natural textile industry (ivn- germany) and japan organic cotton association (joca).

    Gots has approved the first international certification body for organic cotton; the institute for marketecology (imo), located in switzerland.

    Some special textile finishing: some special fabrics are now popular in apparel marketing. This special finishing technology is invented to serve special cases like water repellent, uv-protected, anti microbial, antistatic, wrinkle resistant, moisture management and aloevera fabric.

    Nano technology for textile finishing

    we can produce some special fabric by using nano technology

    1.water repellent effect.

    2.uv-protection effect.

    3.anti microbial effect.

    4.antistatic effect

    5.wrinkle resistance effect.

    water repellent effect: this nano technology we can apply in the padding process. Chemicals are coated in the surface of the fabric, after treated the fabric, if we drop the water, water cannot enter the fabric.

     uv-protection effect: the fabric protects the ultraviolet ray .zno nanoparticles are used for uv-protection finishing.

    Anti microbial effect: this fabric has the properly not to grow bacteria. Nano silver technology is used for achieving this property.

    Simplex Machine for Spinning Process

    Simplex Machine for spinning process is an industrial machinery used for spinning process of Textile technology to transform the drawn sliver into roving. The main function of simplex machine is the attenuation of drawn sliver and insert small amount of twist to give required strength of roving. Finally, the twisted roving is wound on to bobbin. Simplex machine is used to the carded and combed yarn process but for the rotor spinning system this process can be eliminated.

    Functions of this Spinning Machines

    • Drafting: The main task of the spinning machines to attenuation of the sliver to required count of the roving.
    • Twisting: To hold it together, small amount of twist is inserted. The numbers of twist is very low.
    • Winding: To easily transport the twisted roving, it winds onto the bobbin  developed by textile machine manufacturers

    Recent Developments of Simplex Machine

    • Higher flyer speed: maximum 2000rpm. 1000~1500rpm is commonly used.
