Optimization of Opening Roller Speed on Properties of Open End Yarn

Abstract

Abdul Salaam A Bagwan and Abhijeet Patil

An experiment conducted to spun 6’s, 12’s count on well-maintained open end machine by changing opening roller speed i.e.,7000 and 8000 rpm. Present investigation reveals that, as increases opening roller speed yarn properties Like Rkm, Unevenness, total IPI improved, but there is marginal improvement in U% and RKM, and drastic reduction in total IPI, of the both yarn count. Investigation also summarized that as increases opening roller speed the cleaning intensity increases, deposition of trash in rotor groove increases leads to increase end breakages for both count. For reducing the end breakages frequency of cleaning rotors were suggested. This study also gives the difference between the properties of yarns which are produced from two different opening roller speeds. The quality parameters of the yarns produced were evaluated on an Uster Evenness Tester, the Uster Tensorapid with a testing speed of 250 mm/m and the UT4 with a testing speed of 400 m/m.
