Iranian University Student Produces Reasonably Priced, Portable Spinning Machine

Milad Rokhshan, a mechatronics student at the Islamic Azad University (IAU)- Neyriz branch, Fars Province, successfully designed, built and began mass production of an industrial spinning machine with the capability of reasily being transported, especially for nomads, villagers and all those who are operating in the yarn and carpet production field.

The IAU student told ANA reporter that his machine comes with features such as being light, easy to carry and being cost-effective. “This machine can convert sheep's wool and that of goat and camel to thread.”

“Nomads and villagers usually do this work with a spindle by hand in traditional way. It takes them eight hours to make half a kilo of thread, while by using this machine they can produce about three kilos of thread with the same quality at that eight-hour period of time, indicating that six times more than the amount produced in the traditional and manual way.”
