1. A roving machine with all the drafting rollers of same diameter has the following
processing conditions:
Feed sliver count
0.15s Ne
Roving diameter
1.1 mm
Draft
10.5
Roving Twist Multiplier
1.20
Back drafting roller speed
22 rpm
Bottom roller diameter
25.4 mm
I. Calculate the spindle speed in rpm.
II. Calculate the production rate per spindle in kg/hr. assuming a utilization
percentage of 85%.
III. If the empty bobbin diameter is 60 mm, calculate the bobbin speed (rpm) and
the bobbin rack speed (m/min.) for the very first roving layer on the bobbin.
Assignment : 2
Solution
I.
Delivery roving count
= 0.15 x 10.5
= 1.575
TPI of the roving
= 1.25
Delivery rate
II.
= 725.97 inches/min.
Therefore, Spindle speed
= 1.25 x 725.97
= 907.5 rpm
Delivery rate
Tex of roving
= 725.97 x (2.54/100) = 18.44 m/min
= 590.5/1.575
= 374.9
= 374.9/1000 = 0.375 g/m
Therefore, production rate per spindle
= 18.44 x 0.375 x (60/1000)x0.85
= 0.35 kg/hr
III.
Winding speed
= 97.9 rpm
Bobbin speed
= Spindle speed + Winding speed
= 907.5 + 97.9
= 1,005.4 rpm
Time to wind one coil
= (1/97.9) min.
In ideal winding, each coil should be just touching the next one.
Therefore, speed of the bobbin rack
= 0.108 m/min
