1.RATIONALE:
Although ring spinning has the advantage over earlier systems of higher production speeds
and consequently reduced labour costs, the largest size of yarn package that could be built
was limited by the ring size. Further the ring size limited also the traveller speed and thereby
the spindle speed. Modern spinning technology has a number of advantages, over the ring
spinning technology, such as, increased spinning speed, absence of spinning preparatory
machines, like, speed frames, draw frames, etc., as well as, absence of certain, post spinning
operations, like, cheese/ cone winding, etc., which are needed, in case of ring spinning.
Because of the absence of some, preparatory and post spinning operations, as well as high
output per machine, Modern spinning machines give a substantial, saving in labour cost.
This course aims to provide awareness about modern technologies to the students.
2.COMPETENCY
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to achieve different types
of skills leading to the achievement of the following competency:
Supervise production process of Modern Spinning Line to achieve targeted production
by maintaining process parameters.
3.Course Outcomes:
i. Use Open end spinning processes.
ii. Utilise open end spinning process and equipment for production of yarn.
iii.Utilise friction spinning process and equipment for production of yarn.
iv.Use modern spinning like- Air jet spinning, Cover spinning, Twistless spinning (Bobtex,
Twillo, Faciated), Siro-spinning, Self twisted, etc for yarn production.
v. Operate and maintain modern blow rooms.
vi. Operate and maintain polyester fibre spinning units.
vii. Use information technology in spinning.
