DRAW FRAME
Drawing :
It is a process of yarn manufacturing in which the sliver is elongated when passes through pairs of rollers, each pair moving faster than the previous one.
This permits combination of several slivers. These slivers are drawn and elongated to straighten and create greater uniformity.
Objectives of Draw Frame:
01. To straighten the fibers in the slivers.
02. To make them lie in a manner parallel to their neighbors and to the sliver axis.
03. To improve the uniformity or evenness of the slivers.
04. To remove dust from the sliver.
05. To make perfect blending of the component.
Actions Involved in Draw Frame:
Drafting: It is the process of increasing length per unit weight of sliver. It is mainly due to peripheral speed of the rollers.
Doubling: The process of combing two or more carded sliver into a single form is called doubling. In draw frame m/c generally six slivers are fed to
convert into one i.e. six doubling.
Drawing: In the cotton industry the term is applied exclusively to processing on the draw frame, where the operation is one of doubling and drafting.
Drawing= Drafting + Doubling.
Operating Principle of Draw Frame:
Four to eight card or draw frame slivers are fed to the drafting arrangement (3). A feed roller pair (2) above each
can (1) feeds the material without false drafts. The slivers runs into the drafting arrangement, subjected to a draft
of 4 to 8 and leave it as a web and condensed into a sliver immediately. This sliver is then guided through a tube
(4) via a passage (6) of the tube gear into a can (7), in which it must be laid in clean coils with optimal utilization of
the space in the can by sliver compressing with passing it through calendaring rollers (5).
