The reeling machines and technologies commonly utilized in Bangladesh are inadequate for producing quality and quantity raw silk. Therefore, there was an urgent need to replace the current reeling machines and technologies to enhance the quality and volume of raw silk production. Considering these factors, this experiment was carried out, leading to the development of an improved modern reeling machine at BSRTI. The raw silk generated by this machine outperformed the silk produced by conventional multi-end reeling machines in both quality and quantity. This experiment was conducted to enhance the quality of raw silk while reducing reeling costs by developing a modern reeling machine. This experiment was undertaken to improve the quality of raw silk and to minimize the reeling cost by fabricating a modern reeling machine. The result of this study revealed that the fabricated modern reeling machine showed the highest reelability% 69.72 with the lowest renditta 9.83 compared to the multi-end reeling machine with reelability% 65.94 and renditta 11.24. A significant difference was also recorded for that the average size (d), size deviation, maximum size deviation, wending breaks, tenacity (g/d), elongation %, and cohesion between fabricated modern reeling machine and multi-end reeling machine. Considering the reeling performances and raw silk quality, the fabricated modern reeling machine showed better performance compared to the multi-end reeling machine.
