Ring spinning frame

Also called: ring frame, ring frame machine, ring spinning machine, spinning frame

Step 2 of 7: Spinning

Long rows of spindles draw roving thinner and twist it into yarn, winding it onto bobbins.

Ring spinning frame: how it works

  1. Bobbins of roving hang in a creel above the machine, one for each spindle.
  2. The roving runs through drafting rollers that draw it out to the thickness of the yarn.
  3. The thin strand passes through a small clip, the traveller, which runs round a ring while the spindle turns inside it. This puts twist into the strand and makes it yarn.
  4. The ring rail moves up and down, so the yarn winds evenly onto the bobbin on the spindle.
  5. Full bobbins are taken off, by hand or by an automatic doffer, and go to the winding machine.

Main types

Conventional ring frame
The standard machine for carded and combed yarn.
Compact spinning frame
Gathers the strand tightly just before twist goes in, which gives a smoother, less hairy yarn.
Ring frame with automatic doffing
Changes full bobbins for empty ones by itself, and can pass them straight to the winder.

Where it fits in the process

It follows the roving frame and is the machine that makes the yarn. Its small bobbins go to the winding machine, which joins them into large cones.

Ring spinning frame price in Bangladesh: how to get a quote

We do not publish prices.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 range of yarn counts you spin.
  • Carded, combed or compact yarn, for knitting or for weaving.
  • How many spindles you plan, or how much yarn in a day.
  • Hand doffing or automatic doffing, and whether it links to the winder.
  • The floor space and the power supply of the spinning shed.
  • New or reconditioned.

Common questions

What does a ring frame do?

It does three jobs at once: it draws the roving out thin, twists it into yarn and winds the yarn onto a bobbin. Ring spinning is the most widely used way to make yarn for knitting and weaving.

What is the difference between ring spinning and rotor spinning?

A ring frame spins from roving and can make fine, strong yarn in a wide range of counts. A rotor, or open-end, machine spins straight from sliver; it is faster and needs fewer steps, and is used mostly for coarser yarn.

What is compact spinning?

It is ring spinning with an added zone that gathers the fibres together before they are twisted. Fewer fibre ends stick out, so the yarn is smoother and stronger.

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

We do not publish prices. The price depends on the number of spindles, conventional or compact spinning, the doffing system and whether the machine is new or reconditioned. Send us the points listed above and we will quote.

  • Draw frame

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