CIRCOT Miniature Spinning System

Description :

CIRCOT miniature spinning system has been developed for assessment of spinning quality of small cotton fibre samples and for the preparation of fibre sliver and yarn samples. The system consists of four table model microprocessor-controlled machines (units):

CIRCOT miniature carding machine
CIRCOT miniature draw frame
CIRCOT miniature sliver to yarn spinner
CIRCOT Rotor OE Spinner

In each of the machine, inverter drive systems have been employed for easy settings of various processing parameters, Roller and other moving components are supported with ball/ needle bearings for smooth and friction free operation.

Salient Features

Output capacity: 100 g/h (cotton sample)
Manpower: Two (One skilled and one semi - skilled)
Power: Single phase, 0.6 kW motor (for miniature carding, miniature draw frame) and 1kW (for miniature sliver to yarn spinner)
Controlled movement of fibres during processing enables faster processing and production of quality yarn.
Pneumatic suction systems have been incorporated in the ring frame, rotor spinner and carding machine and in licker-in zone for collection of broken ends/ droppings.
Machines are fitted with safety and emergency stop switches.

Stakeholders : Suitable for trade, textile mills, research laboratories, educational institutions and training centres.

Benefit to Stakeholders :

Fibre samples and their blends weighing as low as 40 g can be processed easily to produce sufficient quantity of yarn for quality evaluation
Saves valuable foreign exchange

Cost : Rs. 7 lakh/unit or 28 lakhs for four units
