Lab report 4
Title:
To calculate the machine draft of ring frame.

Abstract:
In that lab, the mechanical draft of the ring frame had been calculated by considering
factors such as roller speeds, spindle speed, twist multiplier, and fiber characteristics. The
proposed calculation model had aimed to optimize the mechanical draft for improved yarn
quality and production efficiency. The mechanical draft of the ring frame had been determined to
be 5.2475.

1.0 Introduction:
The mechanical draft is the ratio of the circumference of the delivery roller to the feed roller
of the ring-spinning machine. The mechanical draft is also called the technological draft.
Usually, the speed of the machine delivery roller is higher than the speed of the feed roller. The
ring frame process is the most widely used form of spinning machine due to significant
advantages in comparison with the new spinning processes.

1.1 Drafting system of ring frame:

When the roving gets entered into the drafting zone, it is drafted according to the desired count
of yarn to be spun. The drafting system is inclined at 45-50 degrees in the ring frame machine.
The working performance of a drafting system of ring frame greatly affects the yarn quality.

The amount of draft to be employed in the ring frame depends upon the material to be processed.
It normally ranges between 35 - 40 in the processing of cotton fibres and up to 50 in the
processing of synthetic material. The drafting system plays a very important role in the

performance of the ring frame process. The higher draft range of the ring frame machine helps to
reduce the yarn cost because coarser roving can be used. Thus operation cost in simplex gets
reduced. The drafting rollers are loaded with spring pressure to maintain the regular gripping of
rollers. Total draft, draft distribution and arrangement of drafting system is very important both
for yarn quality and machine performance. Total draft, break draft and distribution of draft for
different yarn are given below:

Total draft = Break draft or break zone draft * Front zone draft

Due to fewer fibres in the front drafting zone, the fibre strand has very poor strength. This
situation necessitates providing enough guidance to the drafted material. This guidance is
performed with the help of aprons. The double apron drafting arrangements with longer bottom
aprons is the most widely used guiding system in all modern ring frame machines. In order to be
able to guide the fibres, the upper apron must be pressed with controlled force against the lower
apron. A controlled spacing (exit opening), precisely adapted to the fibre volume is needed
between the two aprons at the delivery for controlled force against bottom aprons. The long
bottom aprons have the advantage in comparison with short aprons. The long aprons can be
easily replaced when it gets damaged and there is less risk of choking with fluff.

2 Methodology:

 The rpm of rollers are measured by fixing a point and count the number of turns.
 The spindle is running and its number of revolutions is calculated by using tachometer.
 Diameters of the rollers are fixed.

3-Results and discussion:


3.1 Calculations:
rpm of Back roller = 11 and diameter of back roller = 28mm
rpm of middle roller = 20 and diameter of middle roller = 25mm
rpm of front roller = 65 and diameter of front roller = 25mm
rpm of spindle = 107
mechanical draft:

3.2-Result:
The mechanical draft of ring frame is 5.27475.

3.3-Conclusion:
It is concluded that by measuring spindle speed and roller’s speed and diameter we can
calculate the mechanical draft of the ring spinning machine that is 5.27475.
