Optimization of ring-spinning process parameters using response surface methodology

Several processes are involved in textile industry for yarn production. Ring spinning is the most versatile machine for producing the spun yarn. It is necessary to optimize the ring-spinning process parameters in order to curtail cost and increase the production rate without affecting the yarn quality. In this study, the effects of spinning process parameters namely, spindle speed, roving twist multiplier (roving TM) and yarn TM are studied and have been optimized using three variable Box–Behnken design of Response Surface Methodology. It is determined that spindle speed of 17,000 rpm with 4.1 TM for yarn and 1.3 TM for roving results are the best optimal responses.
