32. Textile Machinery Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

33. Spinning Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

34. Ring Spinning Potential maximum speed of ring spinning: raised from 15,000 to 25,000 rpm with following Advances • Longer Frame: reduce the relative costs of automatic doffing • Combination of spinning frame and winding enhanced the adoption of automation • Automatic doffing: reduced doffing time thus package (and ring) size was less critical • Splicing on the winder: yarn joins became less obtrusive — again offering the potential of smaller package • Smaller rings: for limiting traveler velocity (40 m/s), higher rotational speeds (and hence twisting rates) could be achieved. • Longer Machines: increasing number of spindles per machine up to 1,800 Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

35. Ring Spinning • Innovation in Drafting System – High drafts in range of 70 -100 • Developments in Ring Design • Orbit ring • Ceramic Ring • Rotating Ring • Spindle Identification • tracking of spindles from the ring frame: helps for • Process quality control • Identification of spindles on the ring frame responsible for producing defective yarns Increasing yarn quality as well as efficiency, by more readily indicating faulty positions on the spinning frame Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

36. Compact Spinning • Create yarns that are less hairy and stronger by use of additional drafting components and pneumatics • Provides either a stronger yarn or spin at higher production speeds with lower twist Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

37. Rotor Spinning • Present state-of-the-art machines have significant integrated automation such as • Doffing • Piecing • Cleaning • Process/Product monitoring Additionally, the machine can be part of a material handling system from sliver through to packaged yarn Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

38. Jet Spinning / Vortex Spinning • Murata Jet Spinning (MJS) • It offered high speed production of finer-count yarns • Several variants have been introduced, including Murata Twin Spin (MTS) and Roller Jet Spinning (RJS) • Different jets were offered to accommodate different yarn styles • To extend the use of jet spinning, with particular respect to fiber type and yarn count. • Murata Vortex Spinning (MVS) • Capable of spinning uncombed cotton slivers into acceptable yarns at speeds that were significantly higher than with any other system.

39. Weaving • Major developments in weaving machinery primarily geared up with objective of: • Higher productivity • Better quality • Reduction in number of operations through automation • Reduce cost of production • In recent years, beside above flexibility & improvement in machine utilization are receiving more attention by machinery manufacturers Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

40. Developments in Weaving • Past developments in weft insertion systems: • Shuttle looms • Projectile looms • Rapier looms • Airjet looms • Waterjet looms • Multiphase looms • Other Developments like higher production system, microprocessor application, information technology, quick style change system, energy conservation, safety measures Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

42. Need of Innovations Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

43. Eco friendly Textile Processing Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

44. Apparels • Apparels are still being produced as fashion textiles or as cheapest costumes • ideas correlating human beings needs with properties of textiles are yet to be explored. • The manpower require is very high & hence atomization is awaited. Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

45. Spunbond & Spunlace Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com

46. Summary • Innovation is a continuous process • Need to eliminate lengthy textile processes • Costumes of Consumer choice, design and colour will directly be formed from granules or fibres • Need to have point of view on use of disposable textiles and apparels for events like drama, uniforms, sports activities, picnics etc Vilas Gharat. www.gharatandassociates.com
