Development of Pneumatic Roving End Opener

In a textile mill, different textile wastes are generated in large amount and roving waste is among one of these. In the spinning process, slivers are drawn and twisted into roving by a roving frame. The roving is then wound around roving bobbins by a fly frame. The bobbins are sent to a ring spinning frame and then roving is unwound from the bobbins. During this process, some damaged roving remains on the bobbins as a waste. This roving can be recycled and reused by using roving end opener. The waste roving fibres are opened by using mechanical roving end opener in which beater is used to open the roving but during the opening of roving the fibers get damaged and its quality gets deteriorated. This paper is based on the concept of pneumatic roving end opener whose main advantage is that roving gets opened without damage to the fibres and it will operate on compressed air in mill premises and it requires less maintenance.
