Assignment 6:Yarn Doubling
1. A Two-For-One twister is running at 9,000 rpm with 96% efficiency, and producing 4-ply yarn
from 60 denier polyester multi-filament yarn, 90 Ne dyed cotton single yarn, 15 tex grey combed
cotton single yarn and 50 Nm 100% wool single yarn with 900 twist per meter in plied yarn.
What is the production rate of the machine in terms of kg/100sp/hr if the twist contraction is 2%?
Solution:
TFO running speed = 9,000 rpm
Twisting rpm = 18000 rpm
Yarn twist = 900 t/m
3 ply
(i)
60 denier ;
(ii)
15 tex ;
(iii)
50 Nm ;
(iv)
90 Ne
Delivery speed =
= 88.59 Ne
= 39.37 Ne
50
0.59 = 29.5 Ne
m/min = 20 m/min
resultant count of 4-ply yarn before twist contraction
= 0.0132 + 0.0169 + 0.0282 + 0.01 = 0.0817
NR = 12.24 Ne or 48.24 tex
NR after twist contraction = 12.24 x 0.98 = 12.0 Ne or 49.23tex
Productivity =
kg/100sp/hr = 5.67 kg/100sp/hr
