Title:
To find out the production of roving frame.
Abstract:
In this lab, discussed different parts of roving machine and its objectives, functions and find out the
production of roving frame. Studied drafting system. Then observe drafting system in roving frame. We
discussed importance of drafting system and its effect on yarn.

1.Introduction:
Roving Frame or Speed Frame or Simplex is the machine of a spinning mill, where the sliver is subjected
to one or more attenuating process and the attenuated sliver receives a small amount of twist and is then
wound on bobbins. The output product of speed frame machine is called Roving. So it is also called
roving frame. The main operations of roving frame are Drafting, Twisting, Winding and Building. Also
have two auxiliary operations: Creeling and Doffing. Calculations play an important role in roving frame
section. Some important production calculations (Draft, TPI, DCP, TCP, Machine Efficiency, Machine
Production, Production Loss etc.) of roving frame machine are discussed below.

2.Objectives of Roving:
The main objective of the roving frame is given below: -

• Attenuation- Drafting the draw frame sliver into roving.

• Twisting-To inserts the twist into the roving.
• Winding-Winding the twisting roving on the bobbin.
• package building
3.Some Important Conversion Factors:

• 36 inch = 3 Feet = 1 Yard;

• 1 Meter = 1.0936 Yards;
• 1 Pound(lb) = 453.6 Gram = 16 Ounce (Oz);
• 1 Lea = 120 Yards;
• 840 Yard = 7 Lea = 1 Hank;
• 1 Pound (lb) = 7000 Grains;
• 1 Meter = 39.37 Inch;
• 1 Kg = 2.205 Pound (lb)
• Count means the number of 840 yards length that weight exactly 1 pound (lb)
• DCP = Draft Change Pinion
• TCP = Twist Change Pinion
• TPI = Twist Per Inch
• TM = Twist Multiplier

4.Roving Frame Production Calculation Formula with Examples

4.1Formulas:
TPI = Tm x √ Count (Ne)
Production shift = Spindle Speed x No of Spindle x Effie. x 60 x 8/TPI x Yarn Count x 36 x 840

4.2Example:
Find out the TPI and Production calculations (in lb) per hour of a modern roving frame at
85% efficiency to produce 1.5 hank roving. Here, No. of spindle = 120 and Spindle speed =
1200 rpm. [TM = 1.1]
Given data:
Roving Count = 1.5 Ne
TM = 1.1
No of Spindle = 120
Spindle Speed = 1200 RPM
Efficiency = 85% = 0.85

Find:
P =?

Solution:
TPI = TM √ (Roving Count)
= 1.1 x √ (1.5) = 1.347 (Ans)
production = 1200 x 120 x 0.85 x 60/1.347 x 36 x 840 x 1.5
= 120.19 lbs (Ans)

5.Conclusion:
We learned about the drafting process and we find out the production of ring frame using formulas. I have
tried to explain the production and other calculations formulas (such as Draft, Twist or TPI, TCP, Twist
Constant, DCP, Machine efficiency, Machine Production, Production Loss etc.) with examples of Roving
Frame (Speed Frame or Simplex) machine
