Draw Frame in Textile Manufacturing: An Overview

 


What is meant by draw frame?

The draw frame is a spinning machine that converts multiple carded or combed fiber strips into fiber strips of a certain grade.

The role of draw frame in textile

​The role of draw frame in textile is to enhance the internal structure of the sliver, enhancing its long-section homogeneity. At the same time, decrease weight unevenness, straighten and parallelize the fibers in the sliver, reduce hooks, fulfill the fineness criteria, and ensure that different types or quality of raw materials mix uniformly to reach the desired mixing ratio.

What is the process of draw frame?

The work flow of a draw frame generally includes the preparation of the sliver, the flow into the machine and the collection of the processed sliver.

Preparation of the sliver

Before entering the drawing frame, it is necessary to place multiple cotton slivers or chemical fiber slivers flat on the sliver laying table, and ensure that their length and thickness are equal, so as to get a more uniform mixing inside the machine. Likewise, the sliver needs to be treated to keep its surface clean and free of impurities.

The process of entering the machine

Once all the slivers are ready, they are fed to the infeed system of the draw frame. Here, the slivers are fed into a set of dosing feeders to ensure that each sliver fed to the machine is a consistent number and length. Next, the sliver enters the front roll unit, where, through a series of take-off rolls, the thickness of the sliver is effectively mixed and inhomogeneous parts are removed in the process.

Merging of strips

After the front roll treatment, the sliver goes to the back roll unit where it is processed into strips of continuous fiber. Here, because the speed of the latter two sets of rollers is slower than that of the first two sets of rollers, the density of the sliver can be adjusted, and the tension between the integral roller and the speed difference roller will flatten the fibers inside the sliver, and at the same time remove fluff balls and other irregularities. clean substance.

Collect silvers

Once passed through the back roller equipment, the sliver has been merged and the sliver has a higher softness, water absorption and air permeability. At this point, the sliver will flow down the conveyor belt from the top of the machine and be wound into a circle on the base. Before the slivers are sent out of the net machine, they are inspected to ensure that they are of the expected quality.
In summary, the work flow of a draw frame is complex and requires several steps to complete. Through the coordinated operation of key equipment such as quantitative feeder, front roller equipment, and rear roller equipment, multiple slivers can be merged quickly and efficiently, providing more uniform, tougher and elastic raw materials for the subsequent spinning process .

Twist Test Methods and Influencing Factors

Image
  Twist test is an important part of yarn inspection. It is related to the strength, elongation, appearance, style, etc. of yarns and fabrics. Different yarns have different structural characteristics, and their twist testing methods are also different. Basic concept To understand twist testing, you must first understand what twisting is. Twisting is a necessary condition for yarn formation. Short fibers can be made into yarns with certain physical and mechanical properties through twisting; filaments often need to be twisted in order to increase the tightness between single filaments, facilitate processing, and improve fabric properties. Number of twists Twisting is to cause two cross-sections of parallel straight fiber slivers to rotate relative to each other. The number of relative rotations of the two cross-sections is called the number of twists. Twist Twist refers to the number of twists per unit length of yarn . Twist coefficient In actual production, the twist coefficient is of

Combing Process in Spinning

Image
Before processing cotton, wool, and silk fibers into fabrics, the process of removing impurities and short fibers in the fibers with a combing machine is called combing. The texture, washability and durability of the fabric produced through this process are greatly improved compared with carded fabrics. The following introduces the composition of the combing machine and the combing process. The kinematic coordination relationship of the main parts on the combing machine is indicated by a dial. The disc is mounted on the combing machine and rotates synchronously with the cylinder, which is generally called the indexing disc. The index plate is divided into 40 equal parts along the circumference, and each equal part is 9°, which becomes one index. The working cycle refers to the time interval between the combing cylinder of the intermittent combing machine corresponding to the two actions of combing the whiskers. That is: the first row of needles in the combing cylinder goes to the botto

Garment Dyeing-Special Dyeing Method In Textile

Image
Garment dyeing is a relatively special dyeing process for textiles and garments. Many people may not know much about this dyeing process. In the impression of most people, textile and clothing products are dyed in the fabric period, and garment dyeing is a dyeing process that breaks people’s cognitive limitations on textile dyeing. ​What is garment dyeing ​Garment dyeing means that dyeing the one not in the fabric type but in the garment type itself. The garment type mentioned above include socks, towels, sportswear, shirts, plush toys (without fillers), T-shirts, pants, bathrobes, handkerchiefs, bath mats, carpets, scarves, etc. The material of these garments can be wool, linen, silk and cotton of natural fibers. But most garments are made of cotton or a cotton-rich blends. Garment dyeing imparts vibrant colors to garments. The clothes such as denim garments, tops, sportswear and casual clothing with garment dyeing can provide a distinctive special effect. Garment dyeing method Garmen
