CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION

1.1 General Discussion


The term “Textile” mainly indicates clothing or ready-made garments. However, nowadays
textile is a wide field with the combination of fibers, yarns and fabrics. From the birth till the
death each and every person need textiles. In very recent years these are used in various
technical purposes in medical, automobile, agriculture, construction, protection, sports and so
on.
Industrial Training refers to work experience that is relevant to professional development
prior to graduation. One of the requirements for the award of Bachelor of Engineering is
that students must complete 8 weeks of Industrial Training.
Industrial Training is an essential component in the development of the practical and
professional skills required of an Engineer and an aid to prospective employment. All
student should make considerable effort and give sufficient thought into obtaining the most
relevant and effective Industrial Training. It should also be noted that developing an
awareness of general workplace behavior and interpersonal skills are important objectives
of the Industrial Training experience. We recently have done our internship in Impress-
Newtex Composite Textiles limited (INCTL), in which I got training from each of its
department.
The internship basically revolved around the product knowledge training. The system, the
style of working & the commitment of the employees in this industry is really exemplary.
The difference between the success & failure is doing things right and doing things nearly
right, & this organization has always tried for success & that is why it is known to be one of
the leading organizations in Bangladesh. Irrespective of all these positive points, I have
noticed a few areas where the improvement can really increase the efficiency of Impress-
Newtex Composite Textiles Limited. Hence we would like to draw a schematic overview
upon the internship experience of eight weeks at Impress-Newtex Composite Textiles
Limited.

1.2 Objectives of Industrial Training

 To expose students to engineering experience and knowledge. Industry is important,


because these knowledge’s are not possible to teach in the lecture room.
 To apply the engineering knowledge taught in the lecture room is shown in real
situations in industry.
 To apply the knowledge gain from the lecture.
 To get a feel of the work environment.
 To gain experience in writing reports in engineering works/projects.
 To expose students to the engineers responsibilities and ethics.
 To expose the students to future employers.
 With all the experience and knowledge acquired, it is hoped that the students will be
able to choose appropriate work upon graduation.

5.2 Knitting
Knitting is the interlocking or interloping of one or more yarns through a series of loop. The
length wise columns of stitches, corresponding to the warp in woven fabrics, are called WALES,
the cross wise rows of stitches, corresponding to the filling in fabrics are known as COURSES.
Filling knits (weft knit) are those fabrics in which the courses are composed of a single strand of
yarns, while warp knits are those in which the Wales are composed of single strands of yarns.
Gauge corresponds to the yarn count in a knitted fabric, and is defined as the number of needles
or yarns in ½ inches of the fabrics. Higher the gauge, the more compact and fine the fabrics.

5.3 Types of Knitting

There are two types -

a. Warp Knitting

b. Weft Knitting

5.3.1 Warp Knitting

In warp knitting, one or two yarn produce vertical column of loops and fabric is produced at length
way such as –Net, Mesh fabric etc.

5.3.2 Weft or Circular Knitting

In weft knitting, one yarn produces a horizontal row of loops and fabric is produced at width way such
as–single jersey, rib, interlock etc.

Figure 5.2: Warp knitting and Weft knitting

38 | P a g e
5.4. Principle of knitting
Knitting is the mechanism of producing a series of loops through interlocking or intermeshing of
one or more yarns. Producing a series of loop for constructing fabric through one or more yarn is
the principle of knitting. The length wise columns of stitches, corresponding to the warp in woven
cloth, are called WALES; the cross wise rows of stitches, corresponding to the filling in woven
cloth, are called COURSES, filling knits (WEFT KNITS) are those fabrics in which the courses are
composed of a single strand of yarn, while warp knits are those in which the Wales are composed
of single strand of yarn.
5.5 Loop formation
A knitted fabric may be made with a single yarn which is formed into interlocking loops with the
help of hooked needles. According to the purpose of the fabric, the loops may be loosely or closely
constructed. Crocheted fabric is the simplest example of knitting where a chain of loops is
constructed from a single thread with the help of a hook. As the loops are interlocked in a knitted
fabric, it can stretch in any direction even when a low-grade yarn having little elasticity is used.

5.9 Features of Circular Knitting Machine


1. Circular knitting machine normally has rotating cylindrical needle bed(s).

2. On circular knitting machine latch & compound needles are used.

3. For S/J machine, holding down sinkers are used.

4. Normally stationary angular cam systems are used for needle & sinker.

5. Stationary yarn feeders are used.

6. Yarn feeder guide is associated with its own set of knitting cam.

7. Machine gauge is normally used 5 to 40 needles per inch.

5.10 Main Parts of a Circular Knitting Machine


The parts of the knitting are –
Needle:
The needles are stitch forming elements. They are displaced vertically up and down
and are mounted into the tricks or cuts of the knitting cylinder.

42 | P a g e
Figure 5.4: Needle

Sinker: The sinker is the second primary knitting element. It is a thin metal plate with an
individual or a collective action operating approximately at right angles from the hook side
of the needle bed, between adjacent needles.

Figure 5.5: Sinker


Cam: The knitting cams are hardened steels and they are the assembly of different cam
plates so that a track for butt can be arranged. Each needle movement is obtained by means
of cams acting on the needle butts.

The upward movement of the needle is obtained by the rising cams or clearing cams. The
rising cam places the needle at a certain level as it approaches the yarn area. Cams
controlling the downward movement of the needles are called stitch cams.

Figure 5.6: Cam

Creel: Creel is a part of a knitting machine. Hear yarn package are store and ready to feed
in the machine.

VDQ Pulley: It is a very important part of the machine. It controls the quality of the
product. Altering the position of the tension pulley changes the G.S.M. of the fabric. If
pulley moves towards the positive directive then the G.S.M. is decrease. And in the reverse
direction G.S.M will increase.

43 | P a g e
Pulley Belt: It controls the rotation of the MPF wheel.

Brush: Its clean the pulley belt.

Tension Disk: It confronts the tension of the supply yarn.

Inlet and Outlet Stop Motion: It is an important part of the machine. It stops the machine
instantly when a yarn is break.

Yarn Guide: Its help the yarn to feed in the feeder.

MPF Wheel: Its control the speed of the MPF. Pulley belt gives motion to the wheel.

MPF: It is Manager positive feed. It is also an important part of the machine. It’s feed to the
machine.

Feeder Ring: It is a ring. Where all feeders are pleased together.

Disk Drum: Use in jacquard machine to produce various types of design

Pattern Wheel: Pattern Wheel use in Pai Lung and Auto Stripe machine because of that
that help to produce various types of design and stripe

Feeder: Feeder is help yarn to feed in to the machine.

Needle Track: Where all Needles is placed together in a decent design.

Sinker Ring: Sinker ring is a ring. Where all sinkers are pleased together.

Lycra Attachment Device: Lycra is placed hear and feeding to the machine.

Lycra Stop Motion: It is one kind of stop motion to stop the machine when the Lycra is
break.

Cylinder: Needle track are situated hear

Cylinder Balancer: It helps the cylinder to set in a proper alignment.

Lubrication: The lubricator provides uniform lubrication to needles, cam tracks, lifters and
other knitting machine components. The patented nozzle construction separates the air-oil
mixture into air and droplets of oil.

Adjustable Fan: This part removes lint, hairy fiber from yarn and others. To clean the dust
by air flow.

Expander: To control the width of the knitted fabric. No distortion of the knitting
courses. Even take down tension in the knitting machine. As a result, an even fabric
structure is achieved over the entire fabric width. The deformation of the knitted fabric
goods can be reduced.
44 | P a g e
Needle Detector: This part detect the any type of faults of needles.

Air Gun Nozzle: To feed the yarn; sometimes it is used for cleaning purpose.

5.20 Methods of Increasing Production

By the following methods the production of knitted fabric can be increased –


1. By increasing m/c speed

Higher the m/c speed faster the movement of needle and ultimately production will be
increased. But it has to make sure that excess tension is not imposed on yarn because of this
high speed.

2. By increasing the number of feeder

If the number of feeder is increased in the circumference of cylinder, then the number of
courses will be increased in one revolution at a time.

3. By using machine of higher gauge

The more the machine gauge, the more the production is. So by using machine of higher
gauge production can be increased.

4. By imposing automation in the m/c

 Quick starting & stopping for efficient driving system.


 Automatic m/c lubrication system for smoother operation.

 Photo electric fabric fault detector.

5. By imposing other developments


Using creel-feeding system.
Applying yarn supply through plastic tube that eliminates the possibilities of yarn damage.
Using yarn feed control device.

5.21 Batching Section


5.21.1 Batch preparation

Batch preparation can be defined as a process where the visually Inspected gray fabric
are divided into different batches. It is a part of dying process & it is done to feed the
dyeing machines for fabric dyeing. It is very important to make a batch with
maintaining a correct length of each nozzle.

5.21.2 Function or purpose of batch section

 To receive the grey fabric roll from knitting section or other source.
 To perform the grey inspection.
 Turn the grey fabric if require.
 To prepare the batch for dyeing according to the following criteria –
 Order sheet (Received from buyer)

 Dyeing shade (color or white, light or dark)

58 | P a g e
o
 M/C capacity
 Type of fabrics(100% cotton, PET, PC,
CVC)
o
 Emergency

M/c available

Others
 To send the grey fabric to the dyeing floor with batch card.
 To keep records for every fabrics before dying.

5.21.3 Proper batching criteria


 To use maximum capacity of existing dyeing m/c.

 To minimize the washing time or preparation time & m/c stoppage time.

 To keep the no of batch as less as possible for same shade.

 To use a particular m/c for dyeing same shade.

5.21.4 Batch management


Primarily batching is done by dyeing manager taking the above criteria under
consideration. Batch section in charge receives this primary batch plan from dyeing
manager. Sometime planning is adjusted according to m/c condition or emergency.

5.21.5 Batch Calculation


Rope Length: Total length of fabric is called rope length.

Rope Length= Fabric Wt. in Kg × 1000 meter/Fabric GSM × Fabric


width in m Batch ratio = Fabric dia× Batch Quantity/Total Quantity

Process sequence of Batch preparation:


Receive batch card from Grey In-charge

Make the priority as per dyeing plan

Take one specific Batch card

59 | P a g e
Read the Batch Card for own understanding

Check the availability of fabric

Take required quantity of body fabric from ware-house

Make required no. of Rope maintaining equal length

Take collar/cuff as per size, keep the total weight

Distribute the collar/cuff or Rib in each rope equally unsure equal length

Stitch the fabric

Write down the weight against roll no. in the back side of the Batch Card

Write the total weight in Batch card

Put signature & date

Fill up the production report form.

5.21.6 Turning
Normally turning is done for those fabrics which are not same in both face & back to protect the
face side of fabric from any dust, spot, other color, machine corrosion or any visual or physical
disturbance.

The machine by which counting of rolls & face/back side of fabric is opened is called turner
machine. Generally the following fabrics are turned by the machine

5.22.2. 2 Jet Dyeing Machine

This is the most modern machine used for the dyeing of polyester using disperse dyes. In
this machine the cloth is dyed in rope form which is the main disadvantage of the machine.

In this machine, the dye tank contains disperse dye, dispersing agent, leveling agent and
acetic acid. The solution is filled up in the dye tank and it reaches the heat exchanger
where the solution will be heated which then passed on to the centrifugal pump and then to
the filter chamber.

Figure 5.31: Jet Dyeing Machine

65 | P a g e
The solution will be filtered and reaches the tubular chamber. Here the material to be dyed
Will be loaded and the winch is rotated, so that the material is also rotated. Again the dye
liquor reaches the heat exchanger and the operation is repeated for 20 to 30 minutes at 135o
C. Then the dye bath is cooled down, after the material is taken out.
Metering wheel is also fixed on winch by external electronic unit. Its purpose is to record the
Speed of the fabric. The thermometer, pressure gauge is also fixed in the side of the machine
To note the temperature and pressure under working. A simple device is also fixed to note
the
Shade under working.
5.2.22.3 Advantages Jet Dyeing Machine

 Dyeing time is short compared to beam dyeing.


 Material to liquor ratio is 1:5 (or) 1:6
 Production is high compared to beam dyeing machine.

5.2.22.4 Winch Dyeing Machine
A dyeing machine consisting essentially of a dye vessel fitted with a driven winch usually
above the liquor level) which rotates and draws a length of fabric, normally joined end to
end, through the liquor.

Winch dyeing machine is a rather old dyeing machine for fabrics in rope form with
stationary liquor and moving material. The machine operates at a maximum temperature of
95-98°C. The liquor ratio is generally quite high (1:20-1:40). Winch dyeing machines are a
low cost design that is simple to operate and maintain, yet versatile in application proving
invaluable for preparation, washing or after treatments as well as the dyeing stage itself. In
all winch dyeing machines a series of fabric ropes of equal length are immersed in the dye
bath but part of each rope is taken over two reels or the winch itself. The rope of fabric is
circulated through the dye bath being hauled up and over the winch throughout the course
of the dyeing operation. Dyestuff and auxiliaries may be dosed manually or automatically in
accordance with the recipe method.

5.22.5. Description and Dyeing Method on Winch Dyeing Machine:


The basic principle of all winch dyeing machines is to have a number of loops or ropes of the
fabric in the dye bath, these ropes are of equal length, which are mostly immersed in the
Liquor in the bath. The upper part of each rope runs over two reels which are mounted over
Dye bath. At the front of the machine, above the top of the dye liquor, is a smaller reel, which
Is called jockey or fly roller. The fly roller remains freewheeling along with fabric rope. At
the back of winch tank is the winch wheel, which pulls the fabric rope from the dye bath over
The jockey reel for dropping in the dye bath for immersion. From the dropped location, the
Fabric rope travels back. To be lifted and fed to winch wheel. The dyeing process on winch
66 | P a g e
Dyeing machines is based on higher M:L as compared with other dyeing machines. The
Process is conducted with very little tension. The total dyeing time is lengthier as compared

To other machines. 
5.2.22.6 Advantages of Winch Dyeing Machine:

1. Construction and operation of winch are very simple.

2. The winch dyeing machines are suitable for types of wet processing operations
from desizing to softening.

3. The winch dyeing machine is suitable for practically all types of fabrics, which can
withstand creasing in rope form processing.

4. The tension exerted on winch is less than jigger dyeing machine, the material thus
dyed is with fuller hand.

5. The appearance of the dyed goods is clean and smooth on winch dyeing machines.

5.2.22.7 The main parts of a dyeing machine are-


1. Main tank
2. Reserve tank
3. Additional/Mixing tank
4. Circulation pump
5. Nozzle
6. Valve
7. Heat exchanger

5.22.19 Dyeing faults & their remedies


Uneven dyeing
Causes:
Uneven pretreatment
Uneven heat-setting in case of synthetic fibers
Quick addition of dyes and chemicals
 Remedies

  By ensuring even pretreatment 


  By ensuring even heat-setting in case of synthetic fibers 
  By slow addition of dyes and chemicals 
 Proper controlling of dyeing m/c

Shade variation (Batch to batch): Batch to batch shade variation is common in
Exhaust dyeing which is not completely avoidable. Even though, to ensure a
consistent batch to batch production of shade the following matters should be
controlled carefully- 

  Use standard dyes and chemicals 


  Maintain the same liquor ratio 
  Follow the standard pretreatment procedure 
  Maintain the same dyeing cycle 
  Identical dyeing procedure should be followed for the same depth of the shade 


 Make sure that the operators add the right bulk chemicals at the same time and
temperature in the process.
 
The PH, hardness and sodium carbonate content of supply water should check daily.

Dye spot

90 | P a g e
 Causes:
 Improper mixing of dyestuff in the solution, in right amount of water, at the
Temperature.
 Remedies


When adding
We should pass the dissolved dyestuff through a fine stainless steel mesh strainer
it to the chemical tank, so that the large un-dissolved particles are removed.

Patchy dyeing
 Causes:

 Uneven heat in the machine.


Improper impregnation of dye liquor due to the low wetting property of the fabric.

Dye migration during intermediate dyeing.

 Remedies:

 By proper pretreatment.
 By adding extra wetting agent.

 Heat should be same throughout the dye liquor.

Specky dyeing

 Causes:
  Excessive foam in the dye bath. 
  Fall of water droplets on fabric surface before or after dyeing. 
 In sufficient after treatment. 
 Remedies:
  By using antifoaming agent. 
  Sufficient after treatment. 
By using a good wetting agent in the dye bath 

5.22.20 Finishing
A series of processing operations applied to gray fabrics to enhance their appearance and
Hand, properties and possible applications.

  Play a fundamental role for the commercial excellence of the results of textiles. 
  The most simple form of finishing is the ironing or pressing on the fabric. 
 In finishing, the fabric is subjected to mechanical and chemical treatment in which its  quality
and appearance are improved and its commercial value enhanced.

91 | P a g e
 Physical finishing techniques(dry finishing processes) or chemical finishing methods
(Wet finishing) are used.

5.22.21 Types of finishing


 Mechanical Finishing 
 Chemical Finishing 
5.22.22 Finishing process

5.22.25 Finishing Faults and

Their remedies

1. Wet squeezer marks Causes

92 | P a g e
These marks are caused due to excessive pressure of the squeezer rolls on the wet fabric.

Remedies

a). Use the padding mangle only for the application of the softener.

b). Use a hydro extractor (centrifuge) for the extraction to avoid the squeezer roll marks. c).After
extraction open the fabric manually to prevent crease marks in the damp fabric
2. GSM Variation

Causes

Roll to roll variation in the process parameters of the fabric like overfeed and widthwise
stretching of the dyed fabric on the stenter, calender and compactor machines.

Remedies

Make sure that all the fabric rolls in a lot are processed under the same process parameters.

3. Bowing
Causes
Uneven distribution of tension across the fabric width while dyeing or finishing the fabric.
Remedies
Bowing can be corrected by reprocessing the fabric by feeding it from the opposite end
4. Skewing
Causes
Improper feeding of the fabric while compacting.

Remedies
Use a drop needle line as a reference line to keep the grain lines straight while feeding the
fabric slowly on the compactor machines.
5. Shrinkage Causes
Shrinkage is primarily due to high tension during the knitting, dyeing and the finishing
processes.
Remedies
Allow the fabric to relax properly before it is cut out.

93 | P a g e
Give maximum overfeed to the fabric during the processing on the stenter and compactor
machines.

6. Over Compaction
Causes
a. Excess shoe pressure.
b. Excess overfeed (compaction) given to fabric with respect to potential shrinkage.
Remedies
a. Potential shrinkage test.
b. Correct setting of machine.
c. Re-compaction with lesser over-feed.

7. Fabric width variation Causes


If the stretched width is vary from roll to roll while feeding the fabric in the stenter and
compactor.
Remedies
The stretched width of the fabric should remain constant for each roll during finishing in the stenter
and in the compactor.

Figure 5.32. Pie chart of finishing faults 8.


Unwanted marks on fabric

94 | P a g e
Oily stains with dust adhered to surface which makes the stains more prominent and difficult to
remove, due to contact with oil or grease covered exposed machine parts,  careless handling could
be another cause.
9. Decolorized patch on fabric
Caused due to

Chemical spillage on fabric.


Localized excess bleaching.
Localized excess enzyme wash.

Can be result into weakening of the


fabric

 10. Pin holes 



Holes along selvage caused by pins holding fabric while it processes through tenter
 Frame. 

Major defect if pin holes extend into body of fabric far enough to be visible in the
Finished product. 
11. Sanforize Pucker

  Results from uneven wetting out on sanforize. 


  Usually caused by defective spray heads. 
 Fabric will appear wavy or puckering when spread on cutting table. 

 Difficult to detect during inspection on inspection machine with fabric under roller tension.
12. Pilling
 
 Pilling is a common fabric defect occurring on knitted and woven fabrics.

In producing a yarn, long fibers tightly-twisted produce a serviceable yarn. When short
Stable fibers are mixed into the yarn the result is a yarn that will not hold together. The short
staple fibers will separate from the yarn and curl up in a ball.
.
13. Water Spots: Usually caused by wet fabric being allowed to remain too long before drying;
color migrates leaving blotchy spots.

14. Folding Defects

  Garment not Folded to Specifications 


  Garment not Folded with proper Materials: 
  Cardboard, tissue or other specified packaging materials omitted 
 Garments not Buttoned, Fly’s not 

15. Pressing Producing Shine on Fabric

95 | P a g e

Usually caused by excessive heat or incorrect type of pressing surface.
16. Askewer or Bias

Condition where filling yarns are not square with wrap yarns on woven fabrics or where
courses are not square with wale lines on knits.

17. Soil
Caused by oil, grease or dirt. Often times originating from a dirty work area or machinery
not properly cleaned


18. Cuts or Nicks

Caused by indifferent handling of scissors. Snips or mechanical trimmers. 


16. Seam Tears
Frequently caused by the turning equipment used to reverse garments in finishing.
.

19.Streaks :

Markings caused by some types of turn boards or defectively finished


Trimming.

20.Inadequate Pressing

Caused by excessive heat or pressure resulting in poor pleating, fullness or twisting of a 


Seam on garment surface.

21. Selvage Torn:

Usually caused by excessive tension while processing through tenter frames.

CHAPTER SIX: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

6.1 General Description
The word “Research” is closely related wit giving a new technique as solution of a stands for the
physical appearance of any researched or planned agenda. For this reason the globe of
“Research & Development” is bas in the textile sector dept. of “Research & Development”

Specifically for an industry which is running with a complete industrial park. When an
industry can stand up with all the projects like spinning, yarn dyeing, weaving &
processing together in a region, then it is very much logical to construct a department like
R&D. Research & Development department mainly works for development, most of the
time. Very few times the works of research is being done whenever it is requisite. In the
big woven

Composite factories this department is not a fiction; R&D department means it beyond doubt.
This dept. has its own way to

Ensure the regular production of an industry. As a department it is diminutive but its


effect is prominent all over in an industry.

CHAPTER EIGHT: STORE AND INVENTORY CONTROL

8.1 Inventory
Inventory control is a planned approach of determining what to order, when to order and
how much to order to stock so that costs associated with buying and storing are optimal
without interrupting production and sales.
Inventory Control reduces costly inventory errors, improves customer service, and will increase
the value of our business. Wasp are easy to use and implement without the cost or complexity of
larger inventory tracking systems.

Inventory control is concerned with minimizing the total cost of inventory. In the U.K.
the term often used is stock control. The three main factors in inventory control decision
making process are:
 The cost of holding the stock (e.g., based on the interest rate).

Ø
The cost of placing an order (e.g., for row material stocks) or the set-up cost of
production.

 The cost of shortage, i.e., what is lost if the stock is insufficient to meet all demand.

The third element is the most difficult to measure and is often handled by establishing a
"service level" policy, e. g, certain percentage of demand will be met from stock without
delay.

An inventory control system is a process for managing and locating objects or materials.
In common usage, the term may also refer to just the software components.

8.2 Objectives of Inventory Control


1. Financial objectives:
 Hence the goal to keep inventory cost within the limits of funds available.

2. Property protection objectives:


These are twofold objectives in terms of end results to be achieved namely-
 To safe an important asset again theft, preventable waste, ensures able
damage or unauthorized use.
 To make certain that the value of this 

3. Operating objectives:

 To obtain the best overall balance between product & inventory carrying costs on one
Hand &customer service to the other. 
 To minimize losses from price declines. 

8.3 Functions of Inventory Control

Ø To develop policies, plans & standards to achieve inventory control objectives.


Ø To build up a logical & workable plan for doing the job satisfactory.
Ø To develop methods that will bring defined result economically.
Ø To provide necessary physical facilities.
Ø To maintain overall control by checking result & adopting corrective action.

8.4 Scope of Inventory Control

Ø Raw materials inventories


Ø In process inventories
Ø Finished goods inventories
Ø Maintenance, repair and operational inventories
Ø Miscellaneous inventories
8.5 Advantages of Inventory Control
A well planned and properly administered system of inventory control will give the
following benefits:
Ø Improvement of customer frictions.
Ø Improvement of labor and community relations.
Ø Increase in the effectiveness of key personnel’s

 Reduction in manufacturing cost.


8.6 Procedure for Inventory Control
When the goods from the supplies arrive at the factory gate. This form is filled up by the man at
the gate. This form is known as stores Receipt Voucher (S.R.V). Here mentions the goods
received date. Suppliers name, together with information regarding rejected or returnable goods.

Then the incoming materials go through the inspection the inspector will sign the S.R Voucher
or the authorize the store keeper to accept the goods. From the stores the S.R. Voucher will
move to the accounts section which will in due course of time match it with the suppliers
invoice before making any money payment.

103 | P a g e
104 | P a g e
8.7 Control of Stores Issue
The material is issued from the stores against a particular numbers. On the basis of materials
requisition note duly signed by the authorized person, usually it is raised in triplicate. One copy
is retained in the authorized person from the stores to the central stock control department.
Where concerned persons will make necessary adjustment in their stock ledger & then to the
costing department. Sometimes surplus material from the production departments are
returned to stores under a note.
8.8 Perpetual Inventory Control
To control the physical location & movement of the inventory. We usually use the perpetual
inventory record. It usually shows the maximum & minimum limit of inventory receipts,
issues & balance on any given date & quality etc. One of the simplest types of perpetual
inventory control card is a bin card. It very easily facilitates the physical checking of the
stores.
8.9 Procurement System

 Mostly used dyes like , Reactive, Disperse, Remazol and Anita dyes and chemicals like
Sequestering agent, Anti creasing agent, Caustic, Stabilizer etc are imported from China,
Germany, Switzerland & India.

CHAPTER NINE: COST ANALYSIS

9.1 Costing of the Product


Costing system mainly describe how the cost of the final product is fixed by the
company or top managements. According to the buyer or customer requirements
of final garments, merchandiser give the consumption of the fabric with
specifications. Then it is calculated how much dyestuffs & chemicals are required
for processing. After that, the final cost is fixed including some profit. Then the
unit price is offered to the buyer for their approval.

9.2 Costing of a Product Includes

Ø Yarn cost
Ø Knitting cost
Ø Dyes & chemicals cost
Ø Cost of dyeing
Ø Cost of finishing
Ø Cost of cutting, sewing, accessories etc.
Ø Cost of printing (If any)
Ø Labor cost (direct & indirect)
Ø Factory cost
Ø Office & administrative cost
Ø Sales and caring cost
Ø Others cost
Ø Profit, etc.

13.1 Effluent
Effluent is the stream of excess liquor that may contain oils, waxes, chemical constituents, dyes,
pigments etc. from different stages of production process and hampers the normal criteria of
water and affects the environment rigorously. So Effluent treatment plant is must for processing
the extracted liquor to make the water environment friendly. ETP is a plant in which industrial
raw effluent are inlet in plant then the effluent has maintain standard parameter in different stage
then the treated effluent in discharges.

13.2 Sources of effluent in Impress Newtex

1. Pretreatment process

2. Dyeing process

13.8 Procedure

13.8.1 Screening unit:

Firstly liquid waste is passed through the screening unit. The screening arrangement used here
is divided into two groups such as- a) Coarse screen & b) Fine screen.
Coarse screen protects comparatively large particles such as poly bags, bottles, clothes & yarn
etc.

13.8.2 Equalization Unit:


In this unit hot liquid waste is kept to cool & homogeneous solid portion by air mixing. All the
effluents are collected in equalization tank by gravity flow. A set of pump is installed in this tank
with level sensor for pumping the liquor to second equalization unit. The bottom of the second
equalization tank is mounted with air blower to cool, equalize and neutralize the effluent.

Figure 13.3: Equalization Tank


13.8.3 Primary Clarifier:

When the coagulated particles along with the water come in this unit, the solid particles are
being settled down for first time due to gravitational force as the water gets here the stationary
flow. Sludge is collected from the bottom of the conical shaped vertical primary clarifier
01.Tube pack is used to settle the sludge. The over flow water then goes to the aeration tank-1

136 | P a g e
13.8.4 Aeration Units:

The ETP of this factory uses three aeration tanks, first two of them for COD reducing and last
one for BOD. In the last aeration tank Molasses is used instead of Cowden to increase the
number of bacteria and air blow is kept continue to maintain the water temperature below
50C.In aeration unit organic waste is introduced into a reactor where the bacteria culture carries
out the conversion of organic matter to CO2, H2O and other products as typical reaction shown
below-

(Organic matter + O2 + nutrients + Biodegradable CO2 + H2O + other end products)

It should be noted that urea, di ammonium phosphate (DAP) and are generally used as nutrients
in aeration tank.

In this chamber DO, BOD, odors and others parameter has controlled.

137 | P a g e
138 | P a g e
13.8.5 Secondary Clarifier:
After biological treatment the liquid waste is passed to the secondary clarifier. In secondary
clarifier the effluent are separated both liquid & sludge. This sludge has given through to
aeration tank by pumping system.

Figure 13.5: Secondary clarifier


13.8.6. ASP (Activated Sludge Process):
In which secondary clarifier settling sludge return in aeration chamber for biological bacteria
culture

13.8.7. Sludge Bed:


From the bottom of clarifier-01 and clarifier-02 sludge is collected from the storage tank by
pipeline which is operated manually. Water mixed sludge is transferred into centrifuge unit
where the excess water from sludge is removed. To improve the thickening of sludge 0.4ppm of
cationic polymer is added for de-watering. The de-watered water is again returns inside the
equalization tank. Finally the sludge is collected as cake of weight 200 kg/pcs. This sludge can
be recycled to agriculture directly.

After discharge the effluent passed through the filter for Color, TSS & other solid partial

Remove as possible.

 Secondary treatment means the removal of the bio degradable organic maters and suspended solids
in presence of nutrients.

Ø
Tertiary treatment residual suspended solids are removed which remain after biological treatment

13.9 Required Chemical for Biological ETP

1. Sulphuric acid (H2SO4):

98% H2S04 is used in neutralization tank. Function:


Neutralize the waste water controlling the PH.

2. Alum [ Al2 (SO4)3.24 H2O ] :


Alum solutions are acidic. For instance, a 1% solution has a pH of around 3.
Function:
Ø
It reduces the alkalinity of water as it is acidic in nature.
