Project Title-15

Development of energy efficient twisting system for two for one twisters

Principal Investigator

P. Muthukumarasamy

Cost

Rs.27.47 lakhs

Date of commencement

July 2001

Duration

18 Months

Date of Completion

 Dec 2002

Abstract

Two for one twisting has gained world wide acceptance in both spun yarn and filament yarn sectors mainly because of inherent advantages like production of long length of knot free yarns which facilitate the better performance in the subsequent process. But TFO method consumes about 3 times more energy/kg of doubled yarn production. Considering this aspect SITRA was developed energy efficient TFO spindle assembly for reducing the conversion cost in TFO twisting machines.

Highlights

SITRA TFO spindle assembly helps to conserve energy in energy TFO process to the tune of 50%

Area of applicability

Spinning Industries

Target beneficiaries

The study of findings were disseminated to SITRA member mills
