COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING FOR USE IN YARN SPINNING PLANTS.

Toray has developed a computer integrated manufacturing system for use in yarn spinning plants. The company plans to market the system primarily in southeast Asia. The system is capable of automating a wide range of operations, which include resin pellet processing, spinning, winding, inspection, and packaging. A host computer controls al..

Profitability in False-Twist Texturing.

Understanding the costs of texturing is critical to texturing companies and texturing machinery manufacturers. Rieter-Scragg's Process Control Model software reflects the relationships between texturing costs and allows simulation by varying the parameters. Presented in spreadsheet format, the software allows a cost analysis adapted to ea..

Data Requirements for Staple Spinning Frames (Results of a Survey of U.S. Spinners)

A survey of United States yarn spinning companies investigated the current and future use of electronic data collection and transfer systems. Results indicated that companies were primarily concerned with data that were associated with productivity and efficiency. Of the 85 companies surveyed, 39 utilized data on spinning machine efficien..

Mills' Performance

An overview of the performance of Indian spinning mills in 1997-1998 highlights yarn selling prices and mixing costs, net output and sale values, salaries, wages, productivity, power and conversion costs, and yarn quality. Substantial increases in cotton costs, salaries, wages, and power diminished the net earnings of most spinning mills...

Small-Scale Jute Spinnging: An Analysis.

Researchers evaluated the technical feasibility and prospects of a mall scale jute spinning system. The study described jute fiber characteristics, spinning process sequences, machine layout, and essential quality contorl functions. A pilot plant located in southern India manufactured fine jute and jute blend yarns for the study. Fiber so..

Processing performance of reclaimed fibres in the preparatory stages of spinning (German) (Verarbeitungsverhalten von Reissfasern in der spinnereivorbereitung)

The processing performance of specially selected reclaimed fibres and their blends in the preparatory stages of spinning is reported. In total fourteen different trial lots were processed on a variety of short-staple preparatory machine sets. The investigation included analysis of wastes and recording of production rates across the differ..

Integrating simulation techniques into spinning mill processing cycles (German) (Einbindung von simulationstechniken in die betrieblichen ablaufe in der spinnerei)

A simulation-aided production planning system is described in this article. The module presented can be integrated into an existing electronic data processing system, and adapted in software terms, enabling throughput time, capacity utilisation, delivery data adherence, production costs and material stocks to be positively influenced.

Transport rationalization in the spinning mill

Systems for rationalizing internal transport and automating the flow of materials in the textile industry, developed by the German firm AKE-Innotech GmbH, are presented. The article describes a flyer doffing machine designed for CSM Sachsische Spinnereimaschinen GmbH; a rationalized system for transporting cop carriage and pallets designe..

DEVELOPMENTS IN SPINNING AND WEAVING PROCESSES.

Multitudinous changes in spinning and weaving technology since the 1960s have made it difficult for investors to make purchase decisions. Rotor spinning, originally thought to be superior to ring spinning due to its increased production speed, produces a weaker yarn. When purchasing spinning equipment, the range of counts, energy and labo..
