ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my whole hearted thanks & gratitude to Mr. L. K. Singh (Executive Director), Mr. Harish Sharma ( DGM-HRM), Mr. Anil Rai (GM-HRM), Mr. Gurkirat Singh (Dy.Manager-HRM), Mr. Soni Kumar(A-HRM), for granting me permission to undergo summer training in their esteemed organization. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Mr. K.C. Bhushan (V.P. Prod. & Maint.), Mr. Shakeel Ahmad (DGMProduction), Mr. Ajay Sahoo (Maintenance head) Mr. Mohan Singh (Production incharge), as completing the project without their valuable suggestions & extreme cooperation is not an easy job. I am also extremely thankful to Mr. Mohan Singh (Production incharge ) for helping me at every step. Last but not least, I am thankful to all the staff members for their kind cooperation.

Introduction
Drawframe
Drawframe is a very critical machine in the spinning process. It's influence on quality, especially on evenness is very big. If drawframe is not set properly, it will also result in drop in yarn strength and yarn elongation at break. The faults in the sliver that come out of drawframe cannot be corrected. It will pass into the yarn.

Drafting System:
The Factors that affect the Yarn Quality are
No of draw frame passages The total draft Break draft Gauge between Rollers No of doublings Grams/meter of sliver fed to the drawframe Fibre length Fibre fineness Delivery speed Type of drafting Type of autoleveller Autoleveller settings So Back Draft & Gauge have very much importance when other parameters are constant. And change in the Parameters will sure affect the quality of the yarn.

Procedure followed for the observation:

First selected a particular Finisher Draw Frame (RSB-951), No.2 and collected Six cans each containing cotton Sliver. The samples were consisting of 100% cotton of hank

step 1
The back draft in RSB 951 was set to 1.28 Ten cans were filled each of 500 meter sliver at 1.28 brk draft Now the U% RSB-951 sliver was tested/checked in R&D lab

Test no.

These cans were placed for supply material for a particular ROTOR (R1) -2 in mill-4 on rotor no3,7,11,33,75,111,123,151,155,157

Ten Packages were formed from 10 cans containing 500 m RSB sliver Hank = 10s KW These packages were collected for further test

Step 2
In the same manner RSB brk draft is changed to 1.16 Again 10 cans of RSB was collected and U% was checked

Observations
Test no. Um (%) CVm (%) CVm (1m) (%) CVm (3m) (%) 1 7.23 9.09 0.79 0.56 CVm (10m) (%) 0.00 Rel. count (%) 100.0 +2.1 -2.3 m(max.1m) m(min.1m) (%) (%)

Again the cans were placed on the same ROTOR m/c and on the same rotors of the previous sample (rotor no-3,7,11,33,75,111,123,151,155,157 ) Ten Packages were formed from 10 cans containing 500 m RSB sliver Hank = 10s KW

All these observations were made on the same particular machine (Finisher Draw Frame , ROTOR-2) The samples ( ROTOR yarn) thus made at different stages on same m/c and same rotors are tested on Uster Tester-3 in R& D Lab at the Mill for U%, CSP, COUNT, RKM, CV%, Thin Places, Thick Places, Neps and Hairiness. The results obtained are examined and analyzed on the basis of U% and Imperfection Index.
