Classification of Types of Faults
1. Objectionable faults - very thick and long faults. They consists A4, B4,C4,C3,D3 and
D4.
2. Raw material faults - the faults of A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, D1 and D2.
3. Drafting faults - the faults of C1, C2, C3, C4, D1, D2, D3 and D4.

Short Length Faults (A & B Type)

1. Presence of large amount of trash or higher proportion of seed fragments in mixing
resulting in insufficient opening and cleaning of Blow room and Cards.

2. Low micronaire with high immaturity.

3. High proportion of short fibres.

4. Insufficient nep removal at combining.

5. Use of higher total draft or spindle speed than recommended in spinning.

6. Use of too wide or narrow settings of spacers in Ring Spinning.

Long Length Faults (C & D Type)

1. Improper maintenance of spinning machines, poor control of humidity, poor

house keeping in spinning room.

Best Quality of India Textiles Group WhatsApp & Telegram
2. Hard roving piecing and spinning piecing.

3. Improper drafting due to inappropriate setting of the drafting systems or high

length variability of the raw materials.

4. Addition of higher level of waste in mixing.

5. Insufficient removal of fibre clusters during combing resulting in bunched fibres

in post comber draw frame sliver

Methods to Reduce Classimat Faults

1. Use of appropriate No. of beating points for the type of cotton to be processed for

optimum opening and cleaning.

2. Carding the material twice and lower production rate for better cleaning and fibre

individualisation.

3. Use of higher cylinder and flat speed.

4. Increased waste extraction during carding to reduce largely A & B faults.

5. Higher noil extraction during Comber for better removal of neps and fibre clusters to

reduce A, B & C faults.

6. Use of optimum process parameters in spinning.

7. Use of over head cleaners to reduce long length faults.

8. Better maintenance of machines and house keeping through regular cleaning of

drafting system (once in a week) avoiding fibre accumulation at lappet and traveller

clearers, use of appropriate drafting aprons without any surface cracks and thorough

cleaning of the flyers in fly frame after each doffing.

GUIDELINE FOR TROUBLE SHOOTING BY USING CLASSIMAT RESULTS

1. High Ring Frame speeds: A, B & C (due to fly, hairiness).

2. Fly at traveller. A3 & A4

3. Foreign matter: A3 & A4.

Best Quality of India Textiles Group WhatsApp & Telegram
4. Spacers A & B Type: A4, B2, C2.

5. Long fibres and narrow cage length & tight cage setting B4, C4, C3, D3 &

D4. (Spun in fly & Fly in drawing.)

6. Fused fibres in synthetic yarns: B3, C2 & C3.

7. Piecing of Ring Frame C3, C4.

8. Drafting elements defects at roving: C3, C4, D2, D3, and D4.

9. Cracks in spinning apron: B2 & C2.

10. Roving stretch : H1

11. Apron felting : F

12. Sliver / roving piecing missing / duplicated slivers / sliver splitting, double

creeling - a long & thick and thin fault.

13. Trash excessive: B & C type.

14. Wrong draft distribution (especially in synthetic) long, thick and thin places

including D1.

NOTE

If a diagonal line is drawn from D1 to A4, the faults lie below the line are due to poor

raw material and carding, insufficient removal of noil % at combing. While the faults

above the line usually originate in drawing and spinning

Faults lying in shaded area are mainly due to poor raw material, improper carding, and

insufficient removal of noil percentage at combing.

Faults lying in the other area are usually originated in drawing and spinning
