A draw frame is a textile processing machine that takes multiple slivers of carded fiber, blends them together, and drafts them into a single, uniform sliver. This process aligns the fibers parallel to each other, evens out variations in thickness, and prepares the material for roving and spinning.
Heard on the job
Check the roller tension on the draw frame, the sliver is coming out too uneven.
