There are a number of spinning techniques. Ring spinning, the oldest and most popular one, which is still used, rotor spinning which is used on denim yarns but others of wrap, core, air jet and friction spinning have been used but generally have failed to become accepted.
Ring spinning is a continuous spinning action that entails drawing the roving, twisting and winding it onto bobbins in one action to form the yarn. It is used for the cotton system. This system is used by approximately 85% of the market.
The functions of the spinning machines are the preparation of the fibers for the actual spinning process, the organization of the fibers in a coherent, continuous structure, and the production of packages or units suitable for further processing. The basic principle of producing a yarn by organizing, parallelizing, drawing, and twisting of the fibers has not changed since the very beginning of spinning thousands of years ago.
In this article I will give a list of machinery are used in cotton spinning mill.
