Maintenance Schedule Of Exhaust/Jigger

Dyeing Machine
Objects:
1. To know the different parts of the machine

2. To understand the mechanism of the machine

3. To learn the operation of the machine

4. To find out the main maintenance points of the machine

Main parts:
1. Auxiliary roller

2. Guide roller

3. Take up roller

4. Let off roller

5. Steam channel
 6. Dye bath

Utilities required:
1. Water

2. Steam

3. Electricity

Maintenance:
1. Motor rpm: motor rpm should check to maintain the proper revolution as we need.

2. Proper movement of roller: every free roller should move freely as required. We need to

ensure the free movement of these rollers.

3. Correct take up & let off: we have to look at the smooth take up of dyed fabric and proper

let off of grey fabric with out excessive tension in dyeing.

4. Proper concentration of liquor: without even concentration of dyeing liquor even shade

would not be achieved. Proper concentration of dye bath is necessary to ensure even and

proper shade.

5. Temperature of bath: proper temperature of the dye bath should maintain constantly and

should rise and lower evenly with the gradient as require.

6. Roller movement: different roller like feed roller, let off roller etc should move smoothly as

required.

Uses:
1. Used in case of semi continuous dyeing

2. Suitable for woven dyeing

3. Not suitable for dyeing at high temperature and high pressure

Maintenance Schedule of Bleaching Tank

Objects:
1. To observe the m/c.

2. To learn about the controlling points.

3. To know about the mechanism

4. Overall maintenance of the bleaching tank.

Main Parts:
1. Acid tank

2. Bleaching mixture tank.

3. Winch roller.

4. Eye pot.

5. Winch

6. Valve
Maintenance Points:
1. Wood vessel: The mixing or processing unit will be wood otherwise metal may react with

chemical.

2. Proper Mixing Tank: We have to maintain proper mixing of acid, water etc. For proper

mixing, proper controlling of valve of that tank is required.

3. Proper motor maintenance: Motor should be properly maintained; otherwise correct power

cannot be generated. So action of flow will be improper.

4. Feed pipe control: Feed pipe should be restless & without leakage. So, we have to proper

control of feed pipe.

5. Shower Pipe: In the upper of the bleaching tank there is a shower. It has to be properly

perforated to come out the solution.

6. Winch roller: The winch roller will also be perfect as it running smoothly without any steady

motion. So it is also be maintained.

7. Valve maintenance: Different valve if it is leakage or rusty then it will more problem in

mixing no other flow of liquid. So it will be properly maintained.

Maintenance schedule:

Conclusion:
Doing this experiment we knew about the maintenance of bleaching tank. Surely this experiment will
be helpful for our future professional life.
