ABSTRACT

Ring spinning process is broadly classified as short staple spinning and long staple spinning purely on the basis of length measure of the fibers spun together. Ring spinning technique has found superiority over the other processes used in commercial market in short staple spinning, especially cotton spinning. The dominating position of the ring spinning machine in the commercial market is mainly attributed to clear recognition of its inherent features for wide range of products offered by market players. This favourable stand given to this oldest technology is mainly due to its considerable advantages over the unconventional spinning processes, in terms of quality and versatility. The system versatility lies in terms of type of material and yarn. As mentioned above, it can comfortably deals with short staple cotton to long staple manmade

fibers or even their blends. It is capable of spinning various categories of yarns to suit different end uses, starting from soft (knitted yarn) to hard twisted (crepe yarn), very coarse yarn (6s Ne) to superfine yarn (250s Ne), custom yarn to functional yarns, carded yarn and combed yarn, etc.
