Spinning Calculations Formula
Introduction
Spinning is the process of manufacturing yarn from fiber during ring yarn manufacturing various machines are involved in the production namely Blow room,
Carding, Comber, Draw frame, Speed Frame, and Ring frame.
Calculations play a very crucial role during the of yarn. Some important spinning production
calculations are mentioned in the following article which can be useful during
the ring-spinning process especially about spinning production formula, draft calculation in spinning.
1. Cleaning efficiency % = Trash
in mixing - Trash in lap * 100
Trash in
mixing
2. Beater wise waste % = Beater wise waste collected in kgs
Total input for the
particular beater in kgs * 100
3. Total blow room waste % = Total
waste collected in kgs 100
Total input in
4. Beater wise trash % = Beater waste % Trash % in waste
100
5. Beats / inch = Beater rpm * No. of arms____________
Feed roller rpm *3.14 * feed
roller dia (inch)
6. Weight of lap = lap length (Kg)
840 * Hank * 2.204
7. Production / scutcher/ 8 hrs = Weight
/lap (kg)* 60 * 8 (kg)
Time (in
minutes)
8. Draft of a scutcher = Surface
speed of fluted lap roller
Surface speed of
Regulating roller
9. % Waste = Loss in weight____
Weight of material fed
Carding Production Calculations Formula
1. Draft = Hank sliver delivered
Hank of lap fed
2. TPI = Rpm of can plate
Surface speed of calendar roller
3. Production / card / 8 hrs (kg)
= _Doffer dia (inch)* 3.14 * Doffer
speed * 8 * 60 (Kg)
36 * Hank sliver delivered * 840
* 2.204
(OR)
= Surface speed of
Doffer(inch/min) *60*8*Tension draft
36 * 840 * Hank of sliver *
2.204
4. Side shaft change bevel = Draft constant______

5. Nep count = Neps / 100 square
inches of card web
6. Nep /2 grains = Standard Nep
count
2.41
Where,
Std. Nep count = Nep/100 sq. inch* Hk. sliver* width of card
0.12 * 40
7. Surface speed Ratio:
Cylinder to licker-in = 2.0 to
2.3(fine count)
Cylinder to Doffer = 25 to 30 (fine
count)

Cleaning efficiency(%)=Trash in
lap - Trash in sliver*100

9. Draft constant = Draft * Draft

10. Card Doffer speed = Cylinder
dia in inches * 0.036 cyl.rpm
Doffer dia in inches
*Staple length
11. Avg. capacity of card sliver
can(Net wt in lb.) = F * D2 * M
Where, F = 0.002557 (for card sliver)
= 0.002756 (for drawing sliver)
D = Dia in inches
H = Height in inches
12. Carding index (K) = nf
vg
Where, n = Cylinder rpm
f = Surface speed of cylinder
in meters
v = Licker-in speed in mpm
g = Weight of one Mt. of lap
in gms.
13. Lickerin speed = Production in

---------------------------------
FRONT ROLLER DELILVERY (INCHES/MIN)
3. TWIST
MULTIPLIER = TPI
------------------
(HANK OR COUNT) 1/2
4.
PRODUCTION/SPINDLE/PER SHIFT OF 8 HOURS IN KGS AT 100% EFFICIENCY
= 1 x FRONT ROLLER DELIVERY (INCH/MIN)
-----------------------------------
63 x COUNT
5.
GRAMS/SPINDLE/SHIFT OF 8 HOURS
= SPINDLE SPEED x 7.2 x EFFICIENCY
--------------------------------
TPI x ROVING HANK
6. EXPECTED HANKS PER SHIFT OF 8 HOURS
= FRONT ROLLER DELIVERY (INCH/MIN) x 8 x 60
x EFFICIENCY
-----------------------------------------------------
36 x 840

Where, Winding on speed = Roller
Delivery (rpm)
Bobbin circumference
5. Spindle speed = Tin roller
