DESC:
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to textile spinning machines. Particularly the invention is related to a spinning machines equipped with a sliver filling stations and/or sliver processing station. More particularly, the present invention relates to method and apparatus for processing slivers in spinning machines of a textile yarn spinning mill.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In spinning preparatory machines like Draw frame, Comber and Carding or same like machines have drafting area for reducing the sliver thickness and also a coil delivery area which fill the sliver into sliver can. In textile fibre processing machines such as carding, draw frame or comber machine, a drafted fiber band which is known as sliver is filled in a can, located in the filling station of a draw frame or the like, by means of a turntable.
At present in the spinning mills, there are two process categories are used depending upon the end yarn requirement. The first one is carded yarn process and the next one is called combed yarn process. In carded yarn process, the sliver filled can from a carding machine is further processed in breaker draw frame. The output sliver from breaker draw frame is then processed in finisher draw frame. The outcome sliver from finisher draw frame is then stored in sliver can and sent to speed frame or roving frame where the sliver is drafted to form roving package which is the input to ring spinning machine. In the ring spinning machine, the said roving is drafted further and twisted to form yarn and then wound on the ring cop or ring bobbin.
Whereas in combed yarn process, the sliver filled can from a carding machine is further processed in breaker draw frame. The output sliver from breaker draw frame is then in processed in lap forming machine to form a lap roll. Then this lap roll is processed in combing machine in which the rotating circular comb device removes short fibres in the fibre bat or lap sheet. Then the combed sliver is filled in a sliver storage can and then processed in finisher draw frame. The outcome sliver from finisher draw frame is then stored in sliver can and sent to speed frame or roving frame where the sliver is drafted to form roving package which is the input to ring spinning machine. In the ring spinning machine, the said roving is drafted further and twisted to form yarn and then wound on the ring cop or ring bobbin. In practical, the breaker draw frame is provided without autolevelling system whereas the finisher draw frame is provided with autolevelling system.
In order to process the natural fibres, it is necessary to use the above process line since those fibres have notable percentage of short fibres. For getting a good quality of spun yarn, such short fibres must be removed from processing slivers and hence combing process is used. Moreover, this also requires plurality of draw frame passages before converted into yarn in ring spinning machine. This said process is also applicable while processing natural-synthetic fibre blend spinning.
Thus from spinning mill’s perspective, installing such many number of preparatory machines is costlier as well as floor space consuming one. Apart from that, a process shortening is required between carding machine to ring spinning machine or airjet spinning machine in order to reduce the higher number of spinning preparatory machines as well as floor space.

Carded Sliver Process Shortening:
According to the present invention, the method of processing slivers in carded yarn spinning system in a textile spinning machines is shown in Figure-3 of the drawings wherein the carding machine (1) is provided with a preliminary drafting unit (100) in which the carded sliver is drafted by plurality of rollers and then stored in sliver cans (200). The said preliminary drafting unit (100) is a autolevelling or non autolevelling system according to the invention and may subject to use wisely depending upon the requirement. Said autolevelling process on the sliver compensates to mass fluctuations in the incoming sliver and makes the delivery material to have more uniformity. The filled sliver cans (200) are then sent to auto leveller draw frame (6) or finisher draw frame having plural creel rollers where the sliver undergoes levelling drafting process through drafting roller set (7) and stored in draw frame sliver can (300); next the sliver can (300) is fed to speed frame or roving frame (9) to form roving package (10) which is then drafted further and twist is imparted in ring frame (11) to form as yarn and finally the same is wound on ring bobbin. According to this invention, this process provides an improved yarn consistency level and count CV% upto 11% to 25% onto the final delivery yarn when compared to the existing process.
Combed Sliver Process Shortening:
The method of processing slivers in combed yarn spinning system according to Figure-4 of the present invention, the carding machine (1) is provided with a preliminary drafting unit (100) where the carded sliver is drafted by drafting rollers and then stored in sliver cans (200). The filled sliver cans (200) are then sent to lap former (12) where the plurality of carded slivers are subjected to draft further to form a lap roll (13). This lap roll (13) is fed to comber (14) which removes short fibres in it and then formed as combed sliver which is then stored in sliver can (400). This combed sliver is then fed to auto leveller draw frame (6) or finisher draw frame where the sliver undergoes levelling drafting process through drafting roller set (7) and stored in draw frame sliver can (500); next the sliver can (500) is fed to speed frame or roving frame (9) to form roving package (10) which is then drafted further and twist is imparted in ring frame (11) to form as yarn and finally the same is wound on ring bobbin. In this process, since the carded sliver is autolevelled and directly fed to the lap former (6), the lap weight is maintained more uniform and so that the noil extraction in comber (14) also uniformly maintained. Therefore, the resultant yarn has a consistency level in parameters like Imperfection Index, Count Strength Product (CSP), Count CV% and classimat results like A1, A2 ...Faults.
Further Embodiment of the Invention:
The method according to the present invention provides encouraging results when applied with following embodiment as shown in Figure-5 & Figure-6. As shown in Figure-5 the carding machine (1) without preliminary drafting stores the sliver in sliver can (2) according to the disclosure of invention described herein above. While processing the fibres for coarser count yarn, it is not necessary to subject the sliver to undergo heavy drafting and parallelising. Hence the plurality carded sliver stored in bigger cans (200) is sent as feed material to the auto levelling draw frame (600) which comprised at least two drafting systems (700, 800). Said plurality of drafting systems (700, 800) can be provided serially i.e., successive to one another using single feed creel; or provided parallely as side by side manner with dedicated or individual feed creel. To increase the productivity, the number of feed cans (200) kept can be varied from 4 to 16 and therefore a preliminary drafting is induced to the slivers at first drafting system (700) and then a levelling drafting induced at the second drafting system (800). For better results, the number feed cans (200) to the auto levelling draw frame (600) is maintained as atleast 9 and thereby to get optimum sliver hank value.
The drafted sliver is stored in sliver can (900) and then transferred to roving frame (9) to make roving package which is then sent to ring spinning machine (11) to form final yarn by inducing the twist. In next embodiment shown in Figure-6 the carded sliver is drafted preliminarily using autolevelled drafting system (100) provided in the carding machine (1) and then stored in sliver can (200). In this embodiment there are atleast 4 feed slivers, preferably at least 9 or 12 feed sliver cans (200) are placed in creel zone of draw frame (600) which has a drafting unit (1000). In said drafting unit (1000), atleast 6 over 6 drafting arrangement compensates the required preliminary draft at carding stage and makes the sliver ready to spun further in subsequent roving frame (9) and then to ring frame (11). Said 6 over 6 drafting arrangement is preferably provided with autolevelling arrangement. Apart from the ring spinning process, the above method of processing the sliver is applicable to airjet and rotor spinning also. In such case, the process can be further shortened by eliminating the speed frame or roving frame machine since the sliver from auto levelling draw frame (600) is fed as input to said airjet or rotor spinning.
According to all aforesaid embodiment of this invention, the processing sliver undergoes at least 1.2 times to 3.5 times preliminary drawing at the carding machine (1). And also the said preliminary drafted fibre sliver is further drafted to at least 4 times to 16 times in the subsequent draw frame processes. Thus the sliver in draw frame process undergoes at least 4.8 times, preferably 20 times when compared to the carded sliver and thereby made adoptable to shortened process of present invention. Moreover, by providing the preliminary drafted system (100) before the auto levelling draw frame (600), the hook percentage of the process is maintained within 7% which is at par with the existing sliver process which uses more number of drafting process in between to achieve the same result. This is because, the fibre hook % in each sliver is reduced through preliminary drafted system (100) and resultant sliver is sent to auto levelling draw frame (600).
Moreover, in aforesaid sliver processing methods according to the invention, the number feed cans (200, 400) in draw frame machine (6) or (600) is maintained as 9 and above and therefore an optimized draft is required to avoid draft fluctuation in creel. Said fluctuation arises because of the increased creel length while going for higher number of feed cans. Such fluctuations play negative impact in the sliver taken from extreme end cans than the nearest cans present upstream the drafting rollers set (7). Hence the creel of said draw frame machine (6) or (600) is provided with dedicated motor drive or drafting system synchronized drive to positively drive the creel rollers (not shown).
