Working Principle of De Watering Machine:

 At first the dyed fabric is placed to the turning table, then the fabric is feed to the cloth lifter which is drive by motor. Then the fabric is feed to the feed roller. Then the fabric is passed to the extracting nip. Then the fabric is passed to the padding nip. These are also drive by a motor. Then the fabric is passed to the conveyer belt. Then passed to the cloth folder & supply to the trolley, then supply to the drier.

Calculation of De watering percentage that we had done is given below:

Before padding, the G.S.M of fabric =10

After padding, the G.S.M of fabric    =5.33

Amount of de watered                                   =10 – 5.33 = 4.67

So % of water at de watering                         = (4.67/10)*100 = 46.7

When the pressure is applied 5.5 bar

Production planning, sequence & operation

Introduction and basic procedure of planning and control:

A planned work brings success. With out planning nothing is complete within the required time. So planning has its own importance which is intolerable. Planning gives a scheduled task and control completes it successfully. But production planning and control is not an easy task. Its basic working procedure is as follows-

  1. Taking orders from marketing division.
  2. Analyzing the orders.
  3. Planning for knitting the fabric
  4. Planning for dyeing the fabric
  5. Planning for finishing the fabric.

It is only a basic procedure. It may change according to the type of order. Sometimes, the order is places only for finishing the material or only for dyeing the white goods. Then some steps are committed for planning procedure.

  1. Taking orders from marketing division:

One Composite Mills Ltd.  marketing division supplies fabric orders to the One Composite Mills Ltd.  planning and control division by a specific format.

  1. Analyzing the orders:

This section analyzes the orders according to buyers order quantity, type of orders (i.e. type of fabric, color to be dyed etc), delivery date etc. Then it selects which M/C to use, no of M/C to use, time required for production etc. This section plans for required quantity of fabric to be knitted (order quantity + 6% of order quantity), Knitting balance, fabric to be dyed. Dyeing balance, RFD (Ready for delivery), RFD balance, delivery fabric & delivery balance.

  1. Planning for knitting:

This section plans for knitting production. It selects M/C for knitting the fabric for specific type of fabric, type of yarn used, required GSM, width etc. It also gives delivery data for knitted fabric.

  1. Planning for dyeing the fabric:

Production planning for dyeing is called ‘Batch plan’. According to the batch no and color, width, style and construction the batch plan is made. For easy understand this section gives some batch cards. Batch cards are serialized according to the priority of delivery.

E.  Planning for finishing the fabric:

Finishing schedule is same as the dyeing. After dyeing the material goes to the     finishing section with the batch plan. Finished data is written to the batch card and is informed to the planning section.

However, this section always enforces to all the departments to finish all the works within the delivery time given by the buyers. This section delivers materials by truck, micro bus, ship, etc to the customer within the mean time. Thus it plays a very important role in the success of the company.

Batch section

Position of batch section in production line as follows:

Knitting Grey Fabric

Batch Section

Dyeing

Finishing

Finished Fabric

 Function or purpose of batch section:

  1. To receive the grey fabric roll from knitting section or other source.
  2. To prepare the batch of fabric for dyeing according to the following parameter:
  • Order sheet (Received from buyer)
  • Dyeing shade (Color or white, Light or Dark)
  • M/C capacity
  • Fabric structure
  • Yarn type, etc.
  1. To send the grey fabric to the dyeing floor by trolley with batch card.
  2. To keep records for every previous dyeing.

Proper batching criteria:

  • Ø To use maximum capacity of existing dyeing m/c
  • Ø To ensure every dyeing m/c running in full production.
  • Ø To minimize the m/c washing time or preparation time.
  • Ø To keep the no of batch as less as possible for same shade, etc.

Batch management:

Primary batch is done by the dyeing manager. Batch section in charge receives this primary batch plan from dyeing manager. Then the works is adjusting, according to m/c condition.

Remarks:

Proper batch can minimize the batch to batch shade variation. It can near or same dyeing condition for every batch of same shade. Thus it improves the dyeing quantity minimize dyeing cost a lot.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM

Quality assurance procedure may be divided into two major parts:

  1. Online quality control
  2. Offline quality control

Online quality control:

Online quality control comprises with the raw material control & the process control.

Raw material control:

As the quality product depends upon the raw material quality. So we must ensure the best quality of raw material with an economical consideration.

  • The fabric must be with out faults, with proper absorbency, whiteness as per requirement of the subsequent process.
  • The chemicals should be with a known concentration with a higher degree of purity.
  • All the m/cs engaged should be higher a precision.

 Process control:

The method chosen for process must be provided with the necessary accurate parameters. Here the specific gravity, water level, PH, temperature at each stage is cheeked.

Finished fabric inspection:

Finished fabrics are inspection by 4 point system.

Formula is following:

= B *3240/L*W

Or    = B*100*0.9*36/ L*W

Where,

L= Total length in meter

W= Fabric width in inch

B= Total Plenty point

Offline quality control:

The final product should pass against the norms given by buyer. The following tests are generally done-

ü  GSM test

ü  Shade cheek

ü  Shrinkage test

ü  Spirality test

ü  Wash fastness test

ü  Rubbing fastness test

ü  Perspiration test

ü  Durability test, etc.

In One Composite Mills LTD. laboratory two material are testing (i.e. Quality control)

  1. Fabric testing
  2. Raw material Testing
  1. Fabric testing:
  1. Physical test
  2. chemical test or color fastness test
  1. Physical tests name are following:

1.1  GSM

1.2   Durability test

1.3   Sprility /Squeness test

1.4  Garments durability test

1.5   Shrinkage test

  1. Chemical test/ color fastness tests name  are following:

Color fastness to wash

Color fastness to water

Color fastness rubbing

Color fastness to perspiration

  1. Raw materials test:
  1. Water              : PH & Hardness Test.
  1. Gluber salt       : PH & Hardness Test.
  1. Acetic Acid     : Strength Test
  1. NaOH             : Purity Test
  1. Na2CO3               :  Strength Test
  1. H2O2                     : Strength Test

Which may occurs on certain substances as result of the optical brightener present in the detergent. Check under UV light

1.3 SPIRALITY TEST:

Purpose:

To measure the Spirality that is when the horizontal alignment of a fabric changes its relationship to the length, causing distortion

Calculation:

For specimen which shrink in length

Determine the average of the measurement & this called S i.e.

S =       (S1+S2) / 2

Then use this value of S in the formula

Spirality = {(S X L) / 100} + S

Where, L is the average shrinkage length.

Example:

Spirality = {(S X L) / 100} + S

= {(31.5 X 7) / 100} + 31.5 = 33.7 mm

For specimen which stretch in length:

Spirality = S – {(S X L) / 100}

Where, L is the average stretch length

Example:

Spirality = S – {(S X L) / 100}

= 31.5 – {(31.5 X 7) / 100} = 29.3 mm

Another Formula measured in percentage. The formula is following:

Spirality % = (S X 100) / L

 Where, L is the Actual fabric length.

Example:

Spirality % = (S X 100) / L

= (31.5 X 100) / 470 = 6.70%

 

 

 

And also Spirality measured in degree.

CHEMICAL TEST 

COLOR FASTNESS TO WASH:

  1. A.    Purpose:

The resistance of the loss of color of any dyed or printed material to washing is referred to as its wash fastness.

  1. B.     Apparatus: Gyro wash, Grey scale, Multi fiber.
  1. C.    Method: Buyer requirements.
  2. D.    Test specimen:

For Fabric                    : Fabric Size 10 cm X 4 cm

For Yarn                      : Yarn Weight 0.8gm

Multi Fiber fabric        : Multi Fiber fabric size 10 cm X 4 cm

  1. E.     Assessment:

Color change: The original and tested dyed samples are placed side by side, oriented in the same direction along with the color change grey scale and compare the contrast between the treated dyed sample and the same untreated sample with the appropriate pair of color change grey scale. If there is no color change, then it is ratting 5.

Color staining: Again, compare the contrast between the untreated white fabric and the stained white fabric with the appropriate pair of gray –white samples of the Grey scale for staining. 

RUBBING TEST:

  1. Purpose:

The fastness test to rubbing is used on a variety of fabrics to evaluate the transfer of surface dye from the test fabric when it applied surface friction or rubbed against a rough surface.

  1. Apparatus: Crock-meter and Grey scale.
  1. Procedure:

At first the sample is placed with tap under the metallic mounting plate. Then the crocking cloth is set in the crocking pin (peg) with clip. Then the test specimen is rubbed to & fro (10 X 10 rubs, 1rub/sec) by means of crock meter finger. Finally the crocking cloth is removed from the peg. In case of wet rubbing test, the crocking cloth is dried at room temperature.

  1. Evaluation:

Compare the contrast between untreated and treated white crocking cloth with the staining grey scale.

Again, color contrasts of rubbed and unrubbed dyed samples are compared with color changing grey scale.

For both type of rubbing test, the fastness is rated from 1 to 5, Were 1 means worst rubbing fastness and 5 means excellent rubbing fastness.

 Maintenance:

            Machine, Buildings and other facilities are subjected to deterioration due to their use and exposure to environmental condition .Process of deterioration, if unchecked, culminates in rendering these service facilities unserviceable and brings them to a standstill Industry, therefore has no choice but to attend them from time to repair and recondition them so as to elongate their life to extent it is economically and physically possible to do so.

            It is in this in the context that maintenance assumes importance as an engineering function. It is made responsible for provision of a condition of these machines, buildings and service that will permit uninterrupted implementation of plans requiring their use.

 2. STEAM

Steam:

            Boiler is used to produce steam from water.

 Steam Producing Mechanism:

Steam is produced from water. Water is supplied from soft water tank and is reserved in feed water tank, situated above the boiler. Gas is supplied to burner. Burner produces a flame with the help of boiler. So heat is produced. Water is supplied to the boiler. Because of heat, steam is produced. It is then supplied to different m/cs at a certain pressure.

EFFLUENT

 TREATMENT PLAN

EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLAN (capacity-30 M3/hr)

Description of the ETP process:

Equalization tank consist raw effluent. At the beginning, raw effluent is led to the mixing tank/reaction tank by pumping.

  1. In mixing tank, Lime and Ferus sulphate are added with effluent; blower is used to mix properly.
  2.  At the end of the reaction the solution is led to the flocculation tank where poly Electrolite/ poly Acrylamide is added for further reaction; blower is used here too.
  3. From the flocculation tank solution is drained to Tube settler-1. Here, sludge is divided and placed in the sludge sump.
  4. After the operation of Tube settler-1, the solution is brought to PH correction chamber where HCL is mixed to control the required PH.
  5. After the completion of PH correction the solution is led to the biological reaction tank-1 & 2. In this tank BACTERIA MEDIA is used to absorb the harmful insects that exist in effluent. A bit amount of DAP (Di-amonium phosphate) + Urea (2:1) is also used here as food of bacteria.

When the plant is stopped the mixture (DAP + Urea) is to use more.

DO (Dissolved Oxygen) is to cheek and control in both the reaction tank. The tested temperature is approx. 400C here.

  1. From the biological reaction tank water is again drained to Tube settler-2. Like Tube settler-1, sludge is divided here too and placed in the sludge sump.
  2. The main action of filter feed sump is to accelerate the cleaner effluent and make it flow the pressure sand filter and Activated carbon filter for final filtration. After the filtration the treated water is drained out in the air.

Before draining out the treated water, the BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) are to cheek and keep it in required range. The tested temperature of the outlet water is approx.380C.

  1. The less contaminated liquid that is obtained from different operations except dyeing is stored in the less contaminated reservoir. It needs filtering too before drain out.
  2. In another operation, liquid sludge is collected from sludge sump and makes it inject into Sludge thickening tank.
  3. In sludge thickening tank, divination of raw sludge is occurred by centrifuge hydro extractor and the filtrated liquid is led to the equalization tank further processing.
  4. The centrifuge hydro extractor is used to convert the sludge into cake which is later brought to the air by the help of hand-drum. After hydro extracting, the rest substance is drained to the equalization tank for further processing.
  5. The tested temperature of the equalization tank is approx. 420C. Here, blowers perform to maintain proper circulation of the effluent.

FUNCTIONS OF DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS USED IN E.T.P PLANT:

Lime   : Lime is used to change the color of effluent and to increase the transparency   of water.

Ferus Sulphate: Ferus Sulphate is used for the agglomeration of the foreign matters present in the effluent.

Poly Electrolite: Poly Electrolite helps to make the agglomerated materials be gummy for easy deposition below the surface of water.

Hydrochloric Acid: Hydrochloric Acid is used to sustain the required PH of the treated water.

Remark:

2. The inventory system of OCML covers both knitting & dyeing inventories.

3. The space is noticed to be insufficient considerably.

4. An expansion of space is thus desired for sound inventory.

COST ANALYSIS

Costing of the product:

 Costing system mainly describes how the cost of the final product is fixed by the company/beneficial. According to buyer/customers requirement at first the fabric is collected from local and foreign suppliers. Then it is calculated how much dyestuff and chemical is required to the end of the processing of that specific fabric. After that, the final cost is fixed including some profit. Then the unit price is offered to the buyer for approves it.

Costing of the product is done by the consideration of the following factors:

ü  Amount of raw materials consumed.

ü  Direct Labor.

ü  Indirect Labor.

ü  Factory cost.

ü  Office and administrative cost.

ü  Sales and distribution cost.

ü  Profit, etc.

Remarks:

The costing of product is a secret matter of the industry. They are not interested to flash the cost related data. So, we could not collect the price of product and costing of the product.

VISION

&

SUGGESTION

OUR VISION

 ONE COMPOSITE MILLS LTD. is a well-planed versatile project. The administrative, management, and chain of command – all are well organized. They are devoted to satisfy the customer by their activities. However, some of the points we want to mention for the good of ONE COMPOSITE MILLS LTD.

Some suggestions:

  • During the transport of the fabric in the dyeing floor also during the loading of the m/c, fabrics are soiled for the contact with floor. This makes the fabric dirty. It may require more scouring & bleaching agent or may create stain making it faulty.
  • Due to storage of Textile Engineers, night shifts sometime continue production without any production officer, As a result in some cases quality level drops.
  • The machines of the finishing section should be modernized.
  • The dyeing floor is watery most of the time; it should be cleaned all the time.
  • A very important point is that we collected sample in different stages of our training. We asked the involved persons to cut some sample pieces for us. The samples were cut very much more than we required. This is noticeable. A huge amount of fabric goes to wastage. No doubt, this lessens the overall efficiency.

Conclusion:  AUST has given a change to perform the industrial attachment in ONE COMPOSITE MILLS LTD. This attachment, act as a bridge to minimize the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge. Undoubtedly, this attachment taught us more about textile technology, industrial management & production process. Besides it gave us the first opportunity to work in an industry. We believe that, the experience of this industrial attachment will help us in our future career as textile technologist/engineer.
