PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Research.
Analysis various yarn Fault in Warping process of weaving
Remedies of these faults.
Selection of raw materials.
Product testing.
Product Quality improvement
Reduce wastage
To improve warping efficiency
To improve yarn quality in spinning

During processing, textile materials are subjected to various stresses
not only during the machine operation but also during its stoppage. If these
stresses exceeded a given limits it will adversely affect the quality of the
produced yarns, fabrics and the efficiency of the machines .
In weaving process, the strains on warp ends can lead to thread breaks, loss of
quality and shutdowns. Warp breaks still represent major problem especially
for today's high-speed weaving machines .Generally, warp yarn break occurs
due to excessive tension greater than the strength of the yarn.

DATA ANALYSIS

1. Found different types of yarn and package faults from warping.
the main cases of warp yarn breakage is improper raw material
mixing and cleaning in spinning because majority percentage of
yarn faults is weak yarn.
2. The number of breaks varied directly with the yarn count.
3. Improper maintenance of spinning.
KEY FINDINGS

1. We had a very limited time. In spite of my willing to study
more details it was not possible to do so.
2. This while process is not possible to bind such a small frame
as this report, hence our effort spent on summarizing them
3. We cannot manage data perfectly. Some fault cannot
recovery such as parallel winding which is occur from
robotic miss action in rotor spinning ,mixing ratio is not
perfectly, large amount of wastage uses as for the rate of
beating action is high and create more amount of neps
which neps carding cannot remove perfectly. If Feed
material is quality full then produce goods also be good.
LIMITATION

Considering the objective of the work, a systematic investigation on ‘Yarn
Faults in warping and its Remedies’ were performed in the training period. All
the activities had been done maintaining in sequence of the machinery of the
production. From the thorough investigation it is seen that the following faults
are yarn faults, yarn package faults, mechanical faults in spinning. Reducing
warp breaks on warping machines
uplift the efficiency of this process and the efficiency of weaving machines,
and finally enhances the quality of yarns and produced fabrics.
Yarn faults tend to not fulfill the target of production of a industry. As a result
the production capacity of these industries falls significantly. These are the
common faults which I have tried to find out the causes & their Remedies
against them.
