Roving Bobbin Transport and Creel Systems
topic
Roving bobbin transport systems move full bobbins from roving frames to ring frame creels through overhead conveyor systems, automated guided vehicles, or direct linking conveyors, with positive bobbin identification and lot tracking ensuring correct roving count and lot delivery to ring frame positions while automatic creel doffing systems minimise the manual handling and associated roving damage and contamination risk.
Role
Reduces the labour requirement and roving damage from manual bobbin transport between roving frames and ring frames while maintaining roving lot integrity and count accuracy at the ring frame creel, with automated transport systems enabling one-piece-flow production organisation that reduces between-operation inventory and associated quality risks from extended roving storage in mill environments.
