Providing the right lubrication solution to all the machine elements in a textile industry is a challenge in itself. Differential speeds, humidity, temperature fluctuations and loads are just some of the challenges which are unavoidable. The top rollers of the ring frames is one such element where poor lubrication can result in the yarn quality to come down dramatically. The top rollers reduce the linear density and directly impacting the quality of yarn produced.
Providing the right lubrication ensures that the top rollers work uniformly and the linear density is maintained at the optimal and uniform level. The re-lubrication of the top roller is also a major challenge, it not only is a tedious time taking process but also calls for prolonged stoppage of the ring frame , which leads to higher downtimes which directly impacts the profitability of the spinning mills.
Higher presence of moisture in the atmosphere and suspended cotton fluff in the air also contribute to two major challenges for the top roller maintenance – High probability for corrosion and cotton fluff accumulation around the rollers if the lubricant oozes out of the rollers, which in turn affects the quality of the yarn produced.
