Analysis of ring spun yarn quality on the basis of
spindle speed
G. M. Faysal
Abstract— Supima cotton fibre used to produce fine count 70Ne and 90Ne yarn in different spindle speed at ring frame where all parameter of Blow-
room to Ringframe were same. The produced yarns were analyzed in Uster Tester 4 for assessing the quality of yarn. Yarn Unevenness %, IPI, Hairi-
ness and yarn strength were monitored with the variation of spindle speed. The end breakage was also noted with the variation of spindle speed. The
yarn U%, IPI and Hairiness were increasing trend with the increasing of spindle speed and yarn strength was decreasing trend with the increasing of
spindle speed. Due to the decreasing trend of yarn strength the end breakage was also increasing trend. The increasing trend of end breakage was
decreasing the efficiency of machine. So the profit of spinning mills was hampered due to the decreasing trend of machine efficiency. So the maximum
profit of spinning mills depends on the optimum setting of spindle speed of ringframe according to the requirement of customer demand.

1 INTRODUCTION
Bangladesh is a developing country where the economy of
Bangladesh depends on textile sector. There are 425 spinning
mills established in Bangladesh which provide the raw mate-
rials yarn to the textile sector [1]. The size of spinning deter-
mine by the number of spindle of a spinning mills. The total
numbers of spindles are 12410000 in 425 spinning mills in
Bangladesh [1]. The quality of ring spun yarn depends on
many factors and the production of yarn depends of ring
spindle speed. So the effect of spindle speed of ring frame on
yarn quality is very important. The aim of this research is to
produce maximum yarn with high quality in optimum spindle
speed. The productivity of ring frame is directly related to the
profitability of a spinning mill and also the productivity of a
spinning mills is depends on the spindle speed of ring frame.
So the profitability of a spinning mills depends on the spindle
speed of ring frame [2]. But the higher spindle speed effect the
quality of yarn as well as end breakage [3]. The yarn tension
depends on the spindle speed for a specific traveler number. It
is recommended to use light traveler for higher spindle speed
and vice versa [2].
The yarn hairiness increases with the increasing of spindle
speed [4]. The accurate setting of the spindle reduces the yarn
tension and optimizes the production as well as quality of
yarn. The yarn quality is determined by the analysis of yarn
Uniformity%, IPI, Hairiness, strength and Elongation proper-
ties. So it is very important to select the spindle speed accord-
ing to materials.
On the other hand the fibre properties directly related to yarn
quality. Approximate 70 to 80% yarn quality depends on fibre
properties like staple length, uniformity, short fibre contents,
fineness, strength, elongation, maturity, etc. The yarn strength,
elongation, U%, IPI and end breakage depends on fibre mi-
cronaire value which present the coarseness and fineness of
fibre. So it is very important to select the fibre to get better
quality of yarn. After all the spinning mills profit is depends
on the proper selection of raw material with optimum spindle
speed setting.
