Ring Doubling Frame: Parts, Specifications, Gearing Diagram & Calculation

Last Updated on 04/03/2021

Experiment Name:
Study on ring doubling frame

  1. Spindle speed, front roller delivery.
  2. Twist, twist constant.

Objectives:

  • To combine two or more single threads into one.
  • To insert sufficient amount of twist for holding the yarns.
  • To increase strength, smoothness and luster.
  • To reduce hairiness.
  • To make sewing thread.
  • To wind a suitable bobbin.

Main parts:

  1. Creel stand and creel
  2. Front roller
  3. Yarn guide
  4. Ring and ring rail
  5. Tin cylinder
  6. Traveller
  7. Thread weight or slip roller
  8. Lappet
  9. Spindle

Specification:

  • Motor rpm = 1430
  • Motor pulley diameter = 6.25″
  • Machine pulley diameter = 10.25″
  • Tin cylinder diameter = 10″
  • Wharve diameter = 1.37″
  • Cylinder carrier wheel = 24T
  • TCP carrier wheel = 62T
  • TCP = 63T
  • Front roller diameter = 2’’

Calculation:

1. Spindle speed = 1430 x (6.5”/10.5”) x (10”/1.37”)
= 6461.59 rpm

2. Twist constant = 1 x (90/1) x (63/22) x (99/24) x (10”/1.37”) x (1/(πx2”))
= 1235.25

3. Front roller delivery = 1430 x (6.5”/10.5”) x (24/99) x (22/63) x (61/90) x π x 2”
= 319.143 inch/min.

4. Existing TPI = 6461.59/319.143 = 20.25 » 20

5. Production = {6461.59 x (60×8) x 36 x 95}/ (16.266 x 36 x 15 x 840 x 100)
= 14.37 lb/shift/frame.

6. Double yarn count = 30/2 Ne

7. Required  TPI = 4.2√15 = 16.266 » 16

……………………………..Existing (TPI×TCP)
8. Required  TCP = ———————————–
………………………………….Reqd TPI
= (20 x 61) / 16
= 76.25T

Result:

  1. Spindle speed = 6461.59 rpm
  2. Twist constant = 1235.25
  3. Front roller delivery = 319.143 inch/min.
  4. Existing TPI = 20
  5. Production = 14.37 lb/shift/frame.
  6. Required TPI = 16.266
  7. Required TCP =76.25T

Conclusion:
By this experiment we come to know about various parts and working principle of ring doubling frame. This machine is important for producing double yarn on sewing thread.
