Products made in Bushings 4000H & 2000H Direct Rovings Usually 4000H produces 2400 tex direct rovings 2000H produces 1200 tex and 600 tex direct rovings Tex is the weight in grams of 1 kilometer (1000 meters)length of glass fiber Tex is expressed as grams/kilometer(1000 meters). The Filament sprays cool the filaments Cooling fins also helps in cooling the filaments. If the bushing breaks, it is repaired with the help of air. Bushings are made from 90% Platinum 10% Rhodium OR 80% Platinum and 20% Rhodium. 4000H bushings are a bit difficult to manage as balancing heat pattern in large bushing is a bit difficult. Finshield purpose is to extract heat below the bushing and balance the heat in the bushing environment. Finshield adjustments are done by operator to ensure proper running of the bushing and in ensuring optimum bushing throughput and in giving right tex. Attitude is important for bushing operator. Without looking at whether a particular bushing is assigned to him or not, he should attend to wherever needed to ensure that the breakout bushing is put back to run as soon as possible. It is also important to be always available at workplace considering the sensitivity of the job. For good bushing run , humidity (more than 70%) and low temperatures (between 18-25 deg Celsius) are ideal. If a bushing breaks, it is important to immediately act and repair the bushing. Delay in repairing the bushing can not only lead to production loss in that particular bushing, but it can spread to neighboring bushings , resulting in more production losses.

The Bushing Operator should react to any Break-Outs that may occur on one of these bushings. The operator must then immediately ensure that the winding process below is stopped and commence gathering all of the filaments from the bushing and re-establish the flow from any that had broken out.

Once all the filaments are successfully being pulled by hand they must feed the bundles through the appropriate path and feed it into the pull roller. The Bushing operator must ensure all filament forming accessories such as size rollers, all contact pints, shoes, comps etc clean and in following the changing schedule. No of splits required for chooped strand cakes in Fibertech was 4. The tex was 110. Therefore the split strand tex was 27.5. Bushing used was 800H For direct roving product, 4000H and 2000H are used. The strand is single. For assembled roving, the cake is made from 120 tex, no of splits is 3. Therefore the strand tex was 120/3 = 40 tex. Bushing used was 800H Size roller dia 75mm Size roller speed 15M/min Comb 8mm .
