Draw frame

Also called: draw frame machine, drawing frame, breaker draw frame, finisher draw frame

Step 2 of 7: Spinning

Combines several slivers and draws them out between rollers, so the sliver becomes even and its fibres lie straight.

Draw frame: how it works

  1. Cans of sliver from the cards, or from the combers, stand behind the machine, and several slivers are fed in side by side.
  2. The slivers pass between pairs of rollers, each pair turning faster than the one before, which draws them out.
  3. Feeding several together evens out thick and thin places, and the drawing lays the fibres straight and side by side.
  4. The single new sliver is pressed together and coiled into a can for the next machine.

Main types

Breaker draw frame
The first passage after carding. It blends the slivers and straightens the fibres.
Finisher draw frame
The last passage before roving. It usually has an autoleveller, which measures the sliver and corrects its weight as it runs.
Single and double delivery
One or two slivers are delivered at a time, into one or two cans.

Where it fits in the process

It follows the carding machine, and the comber when combed yarn is made. Its sliver goes to the roving frame before ring spinning, or straight to a rotor spinning machine.

We do not publish prices. The price of a machine depends on its specification, the supplier and the shipping terms, and it changes with the market. Tell us the points below: we check feasibility and the import rules, then send you a quotation.

What to tell us

  • The fibre and the yarn counts you spin.
  • Breaker, finisher or both, and whether you need an autoleveller.
  • How much sliver you need in an hour or a day.
  • The can size your cards and roving frames use.
  • The power supply at your mill.
  • New or reconditioned.

Common questions

What does a draw frame do in spinning?

It makes the sliver even and lays its fibres straight. Uneven sliver gives uneven yarn, and the draw frame is the last place where this can be corrected easily.

What is the difference between a breaker and a finisher draw frame?

They are the same kind of machine used at two points. The breaker comes first and mainly blends; the finisher comes last and sets the final weight of the sliver, usually with an autoleveller.

What is the price of a draw frame machine in Bangladesh?

We do not publish prices. The price depends on single or double delivery, the autoleveller, the output you need and whether the machine is new or reconditioned. Send us the points listed above and we will quote.
