This document discusses a study on roving frames conducted by four students. It begins by introducing the roving frame, which drafts sliver into low-twist roving between the draw frame and ring frame. It then covers the objectives, operations, advantages and parts of the roving frame. The principles of drafting, twisting and winding on the roving frame are explained. Finally, different manufacturers and models of roving frames are compared.

3. Introduction of Roving Frame:-
 The roving frame is an intermediate machine
between draw frame and ring frame in which
fibers are converted into low twist lea called
roving.
 Input of roving frame is sliver and its output
called roving.
 The roving frame is called by various names in
industry as simplex, speed frame, fly frame.

4. Necessity of Roving Frame:-
 Two principal reasons for the use of roving frame are:-
 The required high draft in the ring frame (DT = 300
– 500).
 Draw frame cans are not convenient for transport
and presentation of feed material to the ring frame.

5. Objectives of Roving Frame:-
 Draft the sliver to reduce its weight per unit length.
 Insert small amount of twist to give required strength of
roving.
 Wind the twisted roving on to the bobbin.

6. Operations Involved in Roving Frame:-
Creeling.
Drafting.
Twisting.
Laying.
Winding.
Building.
Doffing.

7. Advantages of Roving Frame:-
Occupied less volume w.r.t. weight
 Handling is easy
Transportation is easy
Stability increases

8. Parts of Roving Frame
&
its Function.

9. Creel:-
 Creel is used to guide the sliver. Creel portion is present
above the can.
 Creel help the sliver on their way to the drafting
arrangements without any disturbance

10. Guide Roller:-
Guide roller are used to guide the sliver.

11. Sliver Guide:-
 Its also used to guide the sliver.

12. Condenser:-
 Condenser are used to condensing/pressing the sliver.
 The purpose of condenser is to bring the fiber strand back
together again.

13. Pressure Arm:-
Pressure arm is use to give pressure onto the
material.

14. Back Pair of Drafting Roller:-
The drafting start from these roller.
The back roller are negatively driven.
The bottom pair roller the positively driven.
The diameter of back roller are 28mm.

15. Middle pair of Drafting Roller:-
The main drafting occur in this region.
The speed is greater than back pair of roller.
The diameter of these roller are 28mm.

16. Front pair of Drafting Roller:-
The further drafting occur in this region.
The speed of these pair of roller is greater than the
middle pair of roller.
The diameter of these rollers are 28mm.

17. Cradle:-
 Cradle are used to give proper tension to the
upper and bottom rollers. For proper
guidance of material.

18. Spacer:-
 The main function of distance clip are to maintain
sufficient distance between top and bottom aprons to
attenuate the strand properly.

19. Aprons:-
 The aprons co-operate each other to guide and
transport the fiber during drafting.

20. Drafting Pressure:-
 The top roller must be pressed with relatively high force
against the lower roller to ensure guidance of the fiber.
 Pressure in the range 100N to250N-300N per roller and
they are dependent upon raw material and volume.

21. Rubber Cord:-
 Cord are made of synthetic rubber and are mounted
on upper rollers.

22. Flyer:-
 The flyer insert twist; each flyer rotation create one turn in
the roving. Twist per unit length of roving depend upon the
delivery rate.

23. Presser Arm:-
 The arm has to guide the roving from the exit of the
flyer leg to the package.

24. Spindle:-
 The spindle is steel rod of circular cross section with its dia
reduce at the top.
 The slot in which the flyer pin is mounted.
 The diameter of spindle also reduce at the bottom and takes
shape of tapered cone.
 Angle of tapered is 80-90 degree.

25. Roving Bobbins:-

26. Principle
of
Roving

27. Drafting Principle:-
Drafting zone must be inclined.
Inclined zone prevent Breakage of fibers.
Fiber become straightened ,Compact and
arranged here.

28. Twisting Principle:-
One end of material is gripped and other end rotated.
Twist measure in TPI.
TPI=
speed of flyer
Surface speed of front roller

29. Winding Principle:-
 Flyer Lead winding system.
 Bobbin lead winging system.

30. Flyer lead winding system:-
 Speed of flyer is high than Bobbin speed.
 Use for long staple fiber.
Bobbin lead winding system:-
Bobbin speed is higher than.
Used for short fiber.

31. Surface speed= πDN
RPM of bobbin reduced after every layer
Surface speed of bobbin remain constant
