My 3 Patents This Year : Carbon Spinning Tubes; Spinning will never be the same Again.

This year, I took 3 patents, two in area of dyeing and one in spinning. Let me start first with the Mother of all the 3 patents viz : "Carbon Spinning Tubes "



What happened to Light Bulbs in the last decade will be the same model, which will take place for Ring Tubes with my invention. Ten years from now, there will be only my tubes for ring spinning and no other tubes. This will be my legacy, the world will remember for a very long time to come. InshaAllah!

For the last 3 years, I had been struggling to make carbon composite spinning tubes and then with the help of a Japanese company ( Which does not want to be identified at this stage ) the product was Prototyped.


Patented Carbon Composite Spinning Tubes
What is the difference between the Normal Ring Tube and Carbon Spinning Tubes


Carbon Ring Tubes in Action
There are 4 very Significant changes that take place in the spinning industry with my this patent.


  1. The weight of the tube comes down from 42 gms to only 8 gms on a 7 inches tube giving major power saving upto 9%
  2. The wall thickness of the tube is only 0.5mm against the wall thickness of 2.5 mm of current tubes. Which means, practically you take 40 to  55% higher content per tube and therefore higher efficiency on the Ring Frames and and higher efficiency on the Auto Coner.
  3. The wall thickness allows a yarn spinning on 42mm ring dia to change to 38 mm ring dia and take 11.5% minimum higher productivity.
  4. Which also means, that, if the machine is now with 38mm ring dia, the pitch of the spindles reduces and hence in the same space, one gets more number of spindles and hence higher productivity per ring frame and lower utility cost of suction and blower fans and humidity fans. A gain in 10% spindles per ring frame means for each 10 machines, one machine is already less .
The tubes are now under Beta Testing in 3 countries and the first results are  very encouraging. I got my patent in Feb 2014 and the PCT has been filed for the Global Patent.

This would mark the first ever carbon composite product to be brought into Textile Industry by someone. 

The next product being tested by me is the tube for TFO, wherein the 38 x43x 170mm Tube is being changed to only 37.5mm OD. Giving a room of 5 mm for the extra yarn. This will change the whole concept of TFO and the spindle size of 100 mm and 120 mm will become the universal pot size with contents as same , which now goes into 135 mm and 145 mm pot dia. Look for my next post on these trials.

Spinning and Twisting will never be the same. One small step for Atul, one big leap for Spinning.
