    The Roving Frame

    The roving frame receives sliver from the draw frame and performs three key functions: 1. It drafts the sliver to reduce its linear density and thickness in preparation for spinning. 2. It imparts a small amount of twist to the drafted sliver, called roving, to maintain integrity during drafting and transport to the ring frame. 3. It winds the twisted roving onto bobbins that can then be transported to the ring frame for yarn production.

    The Roving frame

    Dr. Muhammad Mushtaq


    Simplex/Speed frame/Roving

    • The output from the draw frame is fed into the roving frame (also
    called ‘speed frame or simplex machine or flyer frame‘) where the
    linear density of sliver is reduced by drafting and the resultant
    product is called the roving. After the drafting operation, the roving is
    wound on the bobbin. During winding, a little amount of twist is
    imparted to the roving.
    Objectives
    ❖To draft the drawframe sliver to reduce weight per unit length.
    ❖ To insert small amount of twist into the roving.
    ❖ To wind twisted roving onto the bobbin
    Significant of Roving Frame
    • The first reason is related to the required draft. The draw sliver is to
    thick, untwist strand that tends to be hairy and to create fly. The draft
    needed to convert this to a yarn is in the resign of 300-500.The speed
    frame process minimizes the sliver weight to a suitable size for spinning
    into yarn and inserting twist, which maintains the integrity I the draft
    strands. It is impossible to feed the sliver to ring frame for yarn
    production due to limitation in draft in ring frame. So the fine twisted
    roving is better to this purpose.
    • The second reason is related with transportation and space limitation on
    ring frame. The draw frame can represent the worst conceivable mode of
    transport and presentation of feed material to the ring spinning frame.
    Functions of Roving frame
    1. Creeling: To feed the sliver by the help of several rows of driven rollers to
    the machine.
    2. Drafting: to reduce the size of the strand
    3. Twisting: to impart necessary strength
    4. Laying: to put the coils on the bobbins
    5. Winding: to wind successive layers on the bobbin at the proper rate of
    speed
    6. Building: to shorten successive layers to make conical ends on the package
    of roving
    7. Doffing: To replace an empty bobbin at the place of full bobbin.
    Demands placed upon the modern roving frame:
    If the spinner is forced to use such an inadequate machine, which is in principle superfluous, then it should at least
    provide the optimum in operating capacity.

    • Design of simpler machines, less liable to faults;


    • Increase in spindle rotation speeds;
    • Larger packages;
    • Automation of the machine and of package transport.

    Tasks of the roving frame


    1. drafting of the sliver,
    2. Twist the drafted sliver fleece,
    3. Winding the roving into a package that can be transported, stored and donned on the ring spinning machine.
    The winding operation above all that makes the roving frame a relatively complex and problem-plagued machine. This
    winding operation requires, in addition to spindle and flyer, a cone drive (or variable transmission), a differential gear and
    a package build motion.
    Operating sequence:
    Drawframe sliver is presented to the roving frame in large cans.
    The can diameter does not correspond to the spindle gauge, so
    the cans are not arranged in one row but in several, which have
    to be set out behind the machine. Driven transport rollers (2)
    are provided above the cans. These draw the slivers from the
    cans and forward them to drafting arrangement (3). The
    drafting arrangement attenuates the slivers with a draft of
    between 5 and 20.The strand delivered is too thin to hold itself
    together and a strength imparting step is necessary
    immediately at the exit of the drafting arrangement. This is
    performed by inserting protective twist, usually in the range of
    25 - 70 turns per meter. The turns are created by rotating flyer
    (6) and are transmitted into the unsupported length of roving
    (5) between the flyer and the delivery from the drafting
    arrangement. The flyer itself forms part of driven spindle (7)
    and is rotated with the spindle.
    To ensure that the roving is passed safely and without damage to the wind-up point, it runs through the flyer top
    and the hollow flyer leg, and is wound 2 - 3 times around the presser arm before reaching bobbin (8). To enable
    winding to be performed, the bobbin is driven at a higher peripheral speed than the flyer so that the roving is
    drawn off the flyer leg. The coils must be arranged very closely and parallel to one another so that as much material
    as possible is taken up in the package. For this purpose, bobbin rail (9) with the packages on it must move up and
    down continuously. This can be effected, for example, by continual raising and lowering of lever (10), on which the
    bobbin rail is mounted.
    Since the diameter of the packages increases with each layer wound, with a corresponding increase in the length of
    roving wound per coil, the speed of movement of the bobbin rail must be reduced by a small amount after each
    completed layer. Similarly, owing to the increase in package diameter, the bobbin‘s rotation speed must be reduced
    after each layer, because delivery is constant and hence the difference between the peripheral speeds of the package
    and the flyer must also be kept constant throughout the winding operation. Only in this way can a controlled winding
    operation be achieved.

    • Sliver trumpets (infeed condensers) are mounted on a reciprocating bar (sliver traverse mechanism) behind the rear
    cylinder of the drafting arrangement. They are designed to guide the sliver into the drafting arrangement. The traverse
    motion spreads wear evenly over the whole width of the roller coatings.
