Executive summary

By achieving practical knowledge, it is possible to apply the theoretical knowledge in the


technical field. So, for any technical education especially in textile engineering, the
practical experience is the most important as well as the theoretical knowledge. For any
technical education, practical experience is almost equally necessary in association with
the theoretical knowledge.
Industrial training is the process where we explore our theoretical knowledge to practical
knowledge. In this process we can compare our theoretical knowledge to practical
experience. Which must need for our next upcoming life.
Through our study life it’s a great chance for us to combine the theoretical knowledge
with the practical knowledge in the “Industrial Attachment period”. In addition, the
knowledge we gathered from the industrial training reflects in the report of industrial
attachment note book.

So industrial training is the process where the trainee can blend his theoretical knowledge
with practical knowledge increasing his/ her ability of work, skill, performance and
attitude and so on. It also provides sufficient knowledge about production management,
productivity evaluation, work study & efficiency, industrial management, production
planning and control, production cost analysis, inventory management, utility,
maintenance and so on.
Envoy Textiles Ltd. is one of the largest eco- friendly denim textiles in Bangladesh. It was
established in 2008 with a focus on producing a consistent quality and offering a
diversified product range through continuous research and innovation. It also the first
company in the country that introduced the Rope Dyeing Technology.

I have prepared this report according to the BGMEA University of fashion and
technology’s management.

So industrial training is the process where the trainee can blend his theoretical knowledge
with practical knowledge increasing his/ her ability of work, skill, performance and
attitude and so on.

Envoy Textiles Ltd., leading denim fabric producer in Bangladesh since 2005, started the
commercial production in early 2008. This industry is professionally managed and
technically sound organization located at Bhaluka, Mymensingh (60 km North of Dhaka

CHAPTER 4: RAW MATERIALS

In ETL, to produce yarn, raw cotton is used. ETL uses various types of cotton
for denim fabric. Brazilian cotton, Australian cotton (white cotton), African
cotton etc. are used in ETL. Yarn from these cottons is used both as warp and
weft yarn.

4.1 Denim Yarns

This section has detailed description about the yarn that is usually used by Envoy Textiles
Ltd for manufacturing high quality denim fabrics. The spinning method of denim yarn is
also described shortly.

20
4.1.1Common Yarn Sizes for Denim

Warp yarns for bottom weight jeans typically range in size from Ne 4.0 to Ne 12.5/1.
Finer yarns are used for lighter weight chambray shirting fabrics and lighter weight jeans,
vests, dresses, and skirts. These yarns may range in count from Ne12.5 to Ne30.0.

4.1.2 Yarn Spinning Systems

Before the late1970s, all denim yarns were ring spun. Today, denim fabrics have different
combinations of ring and open-end yarns. The term ring/ring, opened / opened (OE/OE),
and ring/OE, it is referring to which yarn is in the warp and which yarn is in the filling,
respectively. For example, ring/OE indicates a ring-spun warp yarn and an open-end
filling yarn. Weaving a combination of ring-spun and open-end yarns can help to reduce
fabric costs while still maintaining some favorable ring-spun fabric characteristics.

4.1.3 Specialty Yarns

4.1.3.1 Structured Denim Yarns

Modern ring-spinning frames and open-end machines can be installed with devices that
can manufacture predetermined yarn effects. These effects can vary from slubs (thick
places) with different lengths, different spacing between slubs, or variations in the yarn
count. Using these devices, OE yarns can have a more ring-spun like appearance.

4.1.3.2 Elastic Denim Yarns

Core- spun yarns are produced conventionally on ring-spinning machines by introducing


a spandex filament at the back of the front drafting roll of the machine. The drafted cotton
fibers twist around the spandex core to produce an elastic ring-spun type yarn. There are
also open-end and air-jet spinning machines that have been adapted to produce core-spun
yarns. The core filament yarn (normally spandex) is inserted through the rotor shaft on

21
OE frame or the spindle of the air-jet frame, and the cotton fiber wraps around the spandex
filament during the process of spinning. They are somewhat similar to the ring core-spun
yarns in terms of yarn and fabric characteristics. Open-end and air-jet core-spun yarns
have fewer knot sand splices as compared to ring core-spun yarns.

4.2 Sources of Denim Yarn


Following spinning mills are the main sources of denim yarn of
Envoy Textiles Ltd.

CHAPTER: 5 BALL WARPING

22
Fig 5.1: BALL WARPING SECTION

5.1 Warping: Warping is the process of transferring multiple yarns from individual yarn
packages into a single package or beam assembly.
5.2 Objects: To arrange a convenient number of warp yarns of related length so that
they can be collect on a single beam (ball) as a continuous rope of yarns which can be
used for dyeing process.
5.3 Important requirements of Warping:
1.The tension of all wound ends must be uniform and possibly constant during all the
time of withdrawl from the supply package.
2. Warping should not impair the physical and mechanical properties of yarn.
3. The tension should be moderate to allow the yarn complete retain its elastic
properties.
4. Predetermined length should be observed.
5. Production rate should be high as possible.
6. The surface of warping package must be cylindrical.

5.4 Layout plan of Ball Warping

23
Fig 5.4: Layout plan of Ball Warping

5.5 Ball Warping: In ball warping 250 to 400 yarn ends are pulled from the creel. The
yarns then pass through a comb-like device (sometimes called a hack or reed), which keeps
each warp yarn separate and parallel to its neighboring ends. At intervals of every 500 or
750meter, a lease string is placed across the sheet of warp yarns to aid yarn separation for
the re-beaming operation, which will occur later. The yarns then go through a funnel
shaped device called a trumpet or condenser, which collapses and condenses the sheet of
yarn into rope form. This device is located at the base of the warper head and traverses
back and forth, guiding the newly formed rope of yarn onto a log. The rope must be wound
at a constant tension to keep the yarns from tangling
5.6 Standard operating procedure of Ball warping:
 Setup program according to plan.
 Received yarn from the store according to program
 Put the machine power switch on present of electrical person
 Make the count wise parameter setting on the m/c, Viz tension, speed, lease, ends.
 Then clean the machine carefully
 Creel loading by the yarn
 Do the reed denting in
 Complete the yarn passage from creel to head stock trumpet via tension stand &

24
guide roller.Load the ball on the head stock
 Put the Safety guard on place
 Firstly run the machine with slow speed, and then slowly increase the m/c speed.
 Run the machine high speed
 Manual tension check
 Cut the ball after required program length is completed.
 After finished 12 balls, 1 program will be completed &the production data should
be filled up in the relevant production sheet.

5.7 Mechanism of Ball Warping

In ball warping 250 to 400 yarn ends are pulled from the creel. The yarns then pass through
a comb like device (reed), which keeps each warp yarn separate and parallel to its
neighboring ends. At intervals of every 1000 or 2000 yards, a lease string is placed across
the sheet of warp yarns to aid yarn operation. The yarns then go through funnel shaped
device called a trumpet or condenser, which collapses and condenses the sheet of yarn into
rope form. The rope is wound onto a long cylinder called a log on a machine called as a
ball warper. Indigo dyeing will take place at rope form.

Fig 5.7: Front & Side view of Ball Warping Machine .

25
5.8 Types of Creels

Fig 5.8: Creels


5.8.1 Traveling Package Creels

These are V-shaped creels with the actively running yarn packages on the outside of the
V and the full yarn packages placed on the inside of the V. When the running
packages are depleted, the yarn spindles on the creel are rotated so that the empty
packages move to the inside of the Vcreel for replenishment. The full packages move to
the outside of the creel.
The new yarn ends have to be pulled forward and threaded properly in the machine
before running the next warp. The empty package positions are then
replaced with new full packages while the warper is running. This eliminates lost time in
creeling up new yarn packages.

5.8.2 Magazine Creels

These are straight-line creels with enough spindles so that each end-running has a reserve
yarn package placed beside of it. The tail end of the running
package is tied to the beginning end of the reserve package. Once the running package is
depleted, they transfer over to the reserve package and the warper continues to run. This
is a random method of creeling yarn packages compared to block creeling normally used
on traveling package creels.

26

CHAPTER: 6 DYEING

Fig 6.1: Dyeing

6.1 Introduction:

We know that in denim fabric dyed (indigo) yarn is used in warp direction and generally
undyed yarn is used in weft direction. So for the warp yarn dyeing process is used. Dyeing
process in manufacturing is the most crucial in the production sequence. Once the dyeing in
denim manufacturing was only indigo dyes based due to its blue appearance. Up to 70’s denim
dyeing indigo based. Then sulpher dyes specially the sulpher black were introduced. At
present sulpher dues are used the pure black shade of denim or the different shade effect before
or after indigo dyeing. Today the dyeing of denim in not limited to black and blue rather it is
now vastly diversified in different shade which is produced using reactive and other classes
of dyes through their popularity and production are not comparable and black shade based
denim.

6.2 Layout plan of Dying

Fig 6.2:Layout plan of Dying


6.3 Rope Dyeing
In textile, dyeing is the process of coloring any textile fiber, yarn or fabric. There are many
types of dyes which are used to color the textile fiber. Different types of textile fiber used
for textile fibers. Such as reactive dye, vat dye, Sulphur dye etc. are used for cotton fiber and
for polyester fiber disperse dyes are used.

Fig 6.3 : Rope Dyeing

Most denim is yarn dyed. The warp yarns are dyed with indigo dye and the filling yarns left
undyed. There are a number of modifications or alternatives in the dyeing process that are
routinely used to change the overall look or performance of the fabric. With the advent of
denim garment washing techniques, the consistencies of the indigo dyeing process and its
modifications have become crucially important in determining the quality and performance
of indigo denim products.
In denim dyeing two types of dyes are used to color the cotton yarns. They are-
 Indigo Dye, which is the type of vat dyes and

35
 DBD Black, DBA Black, Red, Orange, Yellow, Sulphol Black etc. which is the type
of Sulphur dyes.

6.4 Vat dyes:


Vat dyes are a class of dyes that are classified as such because of the method by which they
are applied. Vat dyeing is a process that refers to dyeing that takes place in a bucket or vat.
Cotton, wool, leather and other fibers can be all dyed with vat dyes. The original vat dye is
indigo, once obtained from plants but now produced synthetically.
Vat dyes characteristically require a reducing agent to solubilize them. Sodium hydrosulphite
Na2S2O4 is the universally accepted reducing agent in vat dyeing which converts the dye to
its "leuco" form that is soluble. Once attached to the fabric, the leuco dye is then oxidized to
the insoluble state which is intensely colored.
Vat dyes have high color fastness and poor rubbing fastness.
6.5 Sulphur Dyes
Sulphur dyes are one of the most used dyes for producing bright black, black and brown shade
on cellulosic fiber products. The chemistry of sulphur dyes dyeing is near similar to vat dyes
dyeing. Sulphur dyes are so called because sulphur dyes contain di-sulphide linkage in their
chemical structure. Sulphur dyes dyeing is carried out in alkaline condition.
Sulphur dye is water insoluble dye. It needs solubilization with reducing agent. Oxidation is
needed to final color development.
6.6 Indigo dye:
Indigo dye is an organic compound with a distinctive blue color (see indigo). Historically,
indigo was a natural dye extracted from plants, and this process was important economically
because blue dyes were once rare. Nearly all indigo dye produced today — several thousand
tons each year — is synthetic. It is the blue of blue jeans.

36
6.7 Shades that are processed at Envoy Textiles Ltd
1. Indigo: Only indigo dye is used to dye the warp yarn according to different shades (light,
medium, dark).
2. Black: Only Sulphur dye is used to dye the warp yarn according to different shades (light,
medium, dark).
3. Topping: Both indigo and Sulphur dye is used to dye the warp yarn. In this shade indigo
dye is used first to dye the bottom part of the warp yarn and then Sulphur dye is used to
dye the upper part of the warp yarn.
4. Bottoming: Both indigo and Sulphur dye is used to dye the warp yarn. In this shade
Sulphur dye is used first to dye the bottom part of the warp yarn and then indigo dye is
used to dye the upper part of the warp yarn.

6.10 Dyeing process details:


Color and Bath Preparation
At first the color and the bath is prepared according to required shade. Then it transfers to the
machine.
Ball Creeling
Required count (7-20 Ne) of yarn and amount of ball are set to the creel. The rope of yarns
are tied with the leader rope. When the machine starts it goes with the leader rope to the
machine.
Mercerization
Then the ropes move to the mercerization tank through some guide rollers. The mercerization
tank contains the solution of caustic soda, wetting agent and sequestering agent.
Rinse Wash
After mercerization, the rope of yarns is passed through the washing tank. Here extra
chemicals which is present on the surface of the yarns are removed.
Dyeing

39
According to the required shade dyeing tank is used. In dyeing tank, dyes, wetting agent,
sequestering agent hydro, reducing agent, caustic soda is added.

Rinse Wash
After dyeing, the rope of dyed yarns is passed through the washing tank to remove extra dyes
and chemicals from the surface of the yarns.
Softening
After wash the rope of dyed yarn is passed through the softener tank. The softener tank
contains softening agent acid and water.
Drying
The rope of dyed yarns comes from softener tank to the dryer roller. Dryer roller is used for
drying the yarn and also controls the moisture of the yarn.
Coiler
The rope of dyed and dried yarns is passed to the coiler. Coiler helps to guide the dyed yarns
so that the yarns can be stored in the drying can easily.

Drying Can
Drying cans are set according to the number of ball set in the creel. The dyed yarns are stored
in the drying can and send it to the LCB section.
6.11 Chemicals Used for Rope Dyeing
1.Caustic Soda
It is used to control the pH of the mercerized and dye solution.
2. Wetting Agent
It is used to reduce the surface tension of water. Merceral OK, Cottoclarin EH, Primasol NF,
Kieralon Extra, Floranit 4028, Permagen NFS, Ruowet RDXetc. are used as wetting agents in
ETL.
3. Sequestering Agent
It is used to reduce the hardness of water. Sequion 48/98 used s sequestering agent.
4. Hydro
Hydro is used to solute the indigo dye. Indigo dye oxidizes when it comes in contact of air.

5. Reducing Agent

40
It is used to soluble the sulphur dye. Sulphur dye also oxidizes when it comes in contact of
air.
6. Softening Agent
It is used to smooth the yarn surface. Maing Belfasin GT used in ETL
7. Acid
It is used to control the pH of the softening tank. Optical buffer SP acid is used as acid.

Beamer (LCB). When the rope has been dyed and dried in the rope dyeing, it is taken in large
cans in coiler section. In rope dyeing range, if the machine has a capacity 24 ropes, then there
will be 24 separate coilers which deliver 24 ropes in separate cans. These cans are transferred
to the Long Chain Beaming area. The basic purpose of long chain beamer is to open the rope
into a sheet form of yarn and wind onto a sizing beam which in turn transferred to the sizing
machine.

In Long Chain Beamer, the yarn alignment in the dyed rope is change from a rope form to a
sheet form. In the Long Chain Beamer the rope pull from the can by moving them upward to
a guiding device. The guiding device is mounted above the can, probably in the ceiling. The
upward movement of the rope allows the ropes to entangle before nearing the beamer head
and allow the rope to shake loose form from the rest of the rope in the can.

CHAPTER: 8 SIZING

8.1 Sizing
The process of applying a protective adhesive coating upon the yarn surface is called sizing.
This is the most important operation to attain maximum weaving efficiency specially for
blended and filament yarns.
8.2 Objectives of Sizing
1. To improve the weave ability of warp yarn.

2. To increase the tensile or breaking strength for cellulose yarn.

3. To maintain good quality fabric.

4. To reduce hairiness, weakness of textile materials.

5. To remove electrolytic formation for synthetic or blended yarn.

6. To increase elasticity.

CHAPTER: 9 WEAVING

9.1 Weaving
Weaving is a process of interlacement of two sets of threads namely the warp and weft threads
in lengthwise and crosswise respectively to form a fabric. The Weaving loom introduces
machine settings like warp and weft tension, speed, fabric design, ends per inch, pick per inch
and many other loom settings to achieve the denim fabric property like width, twill design
and weight of fabric in Oz/yds.

61
Fig 9.1: Woven cloth

9.2 Basic Weaving Mechanism

9.2.1 Shedding mechanism

The process of separating the warp yarn into two layers by raising the heald to form an open
area between two sets of warps and known as shed.

Fig 9.2.1: Shedding mechanism

62
9.2.2 Picking mechanism

The picking mechanism passes weft thread from one selvedge of the fabric to the other
through the shed by means of a shuttle, a projectile, a rapier, a needle, an air-jet or a water-
jet. The inserted weft thread is known as pick.

Fig 9.2.2: Picking mechanism

9.2.3 Beat-up mechanism


The beat-up mechanism beats or pushes the newly inserted length of weft thread (pick)
into the already woven fabric at a point known as “fell of the cloth”. These three
mechanisms namely shedding, picking and then beat-up are done in sequence.

9.9 Secondary Mechanisms


These mechanisms are next in importance to the primary mechanisms. If weaving is to
be continuous, these mechanisms are essential. So, they are called the secondary‟
mechanisms.
They are: a. Take-up motion b. Let-off motion

9.9.1 Take-up motion


The take-up motion withdraws the cloth from the weaving area at a constant rate so as
to give the required pick-spacing (in picks/inch or picks/cm) and then winds it on to a
cloth roller.

72
Fig 9.9.1: Fabric Take Up Mechanism

9.9.2 Let-off motion


The let-off motion delivers the warp to the weaving area at the required rate and at constant
tension by unwinding it from the weaver’s beam. The secondary motions are carried out
simultaneously.

Fig 9.9.2: Let off Mechanism

73

9.17 Production Calculation

Let,
Machine rpm =750
PPI= 49
Efficiency =92%
We know,
Production / shift = (RPM / PPI) *Efficiency
= (750 /49 /39.37) * 60 * 8 * 92%
= 171.69 m

9.18 CMPX: Breaks(x) per centi-million picks:

To determine the CMPX, we can evaluate the production efficiency of loom.


Warp CMPX:
Warp CMPX=(Total warp breaks*100000)/
Total picks
= (Total warp
breaks*100000)/PPI*39.37*Fabric length
Example: Warp CMPX=
(6*100000)/(100.5*58*39.37)
= 2.614
Similarly Weft CMPX:
Weft CMPX=(Total weft breaks*100000)
/Totalpicks(PPI*39.37*Fabric length in m)

10.8 Some Important Terms for finishing:

10.8.1 Singeing
It burns the port rooting and hairy fibers form the fabric surface.

Singeing Parameter

 Fabric speed (m/min)


 Flame intensity (mbar)
 Fabric moisture content (%)
 Singeing positions
 Burner fabric distance (mm) Fig 10.8.1: Singeing

10.8.2 Sanforization
Sanforization is a treatment applied to fabric to reduce cloth shrinkage after
washing. During the sanforizing process, the fibers of the cotton fabric are stretched
both in length and in width so that cloth that is washed and dried will not shrink
much.

Fig 10.8.2: Sanforizing

96
10.8.3 Fabric Skewness

Woven fabrics are constructed with lengthwise and crosswise yarns interlaced at right
angles. Skewness in woven fabric is a condition wherethe warp and weft yarns, although
straig ht, are not at right angles to each other. Woven fabric skewness and its measurement
Skewness creates difficulties during tailoring, sewing, and the process of three-dimensional
forming. Garments made from skewed fabric may behave differently on each part of the
body and, as a result, cause the fabric to lose its shape. The problem can occur in the
warping, weaving, and finishing processes. The main cause at any step of the finishing
process is the variation in running speed across the width of the fabric.

10.8.4 Calendaring:
Calendaring is a finishing process used on cloth where fabric is folded in half and passed
under rollers at high temperatures and pressures. Calendering is used on fabrics such as
more to produce its watered effect and also on cambric and some types of sateen’s.
In preparation for calendaring, the fabric is folded lengthwise with the front side, or face,
inside, and stitched together along the edges. The fabric can be folded together at full width;
however this is not done as often as it is more difficult. The fabric is then run through rollers
that polish the surface and make the fabric smoother and more lustrous. High temperatures
and pressure are used as well. Fabrics that go through the calendaring process feel thin,
glossy and papery.
10.8.5 Mercerization:
It is the process by which natural twist/convolutions are open by the help of concentrated
alkali under tension conditions. It is a treatment which makes the cellulose start to swell at a
certain alkali concentration.
Advantages of Mercerization:
 improves dye uptake up to 40%
 permanent luster is obtained
 improves tensile strength
 dimensional stability
 dead cotton coverage
 less pilling effect

97
The advantages of mercerization are considerable. The increase in the dye uptake capacity
results in deep shades and expensive dyes savings can be achieved. Furthermore as a rule,
the color fastness and uniform appearance of goods are also improved.

10.9 Common Faults of Finishing Process:


Some common faults of finishing process are given below:

 Crease mark
 Unsinged
 Width variation
 Finishing m/c stop
 Waviness
 Finishing oil spot
 Burn selvedge
 Back staining
 Low stretch
 Low shrinkage
 Return fabric for refinish
 Chemical spot

11.5 Fabric Inspection System


Inspection of fabric is performed by fabric inspection machine. There are number of
system available to inspect the fabric.

There are as follows:

4 - Point system

10 - Point system

78- Point system


Only 4 - point system is approved by American Apparel Manufacturer
Association (AAMA) and American Association of Quality control (AAQC)
for Denim Fabric Inspection. This is why this system is widely used for fabric
inspection.

11.5.1 4 – Point System

The four points system assigns 1, 2, 3 and 4 penalty points according to the size and
significance of the defect. It’s a widely recognized methods frequently used in Textiles
Industry. It’s a technique issued by the American society for testing and materials with
reference to the designation ASTMD430-93.

101
Sl. Fault Length Points
No.
1. 1– 3 Inch 1
2. 3 – 6 Inch 2
3. 6 – 9 Inch 3
4. 9 – 12 Inch 4
5. 12-36 Inch 4

If a defect is observed faults are classified and scored with penalty points of 1, 2, 3 and 4
according to their size and significance. Each defect should be counted as a separate defect
even if the nature is the same and based on the points allocated to each defect, total points
should be calculated .No more than 4 points can be assigned for any single defect. No linear
yard or meter can contain more than 4 points, regardless of the number of defect within that
yard or meter .If the acceptance criteria are 40 points / 100 yrd , then this roll is acceptable.

Calculation:

13.2 R & D

The main goal of R&D department is finding good thing that are convenience
for the company and they try to implement it in our production to improve the
quality of fabric. It is divided into three sub-divisions such as

 Fabric Analysis & Development.

 Washing

 Sewing

121
13.2.1Fabric Analysis & Development
After receiving the swatch from the buyer, R& D department analysis the
swatch fabric. If the analyses result match with their developed program, then
they directly send it to the buyer. But if it is not match with their program then
they develop a new program related to the swatch sample and send it to the
buyer. If the buyer says ok, then they go to the production.

13.2.2 During fabric analysis they should check the following parameter:

 Warp count
 Weft count
 Color
 EPI& PPI
 Weave design
 Width
 Weight
 Construction
13.2.3 Formula for Calculating Warp & Weft Count
Warp / weft Count = Length(cm)÷Weight(gm)×0.0059

13.2.4 Color Test


For color test nitric acid is put as a drop on the fabric face side and check the color change.

14.1 Introduction
Production and profit are closely related. In order to get a quality final product it needed
fresh raw materials as well as effective manpower and machinery in good working
condition. Utility in conjugation with the three M‟s pays a vital role to maximize the
production as well as profit.
14.2 Utility Ensure
 Power supply
 Water supply
 Steam supply (By boiler)
 Compressed air supply (By Air compressor)
 Exhaust air handing (By vacuum planning system) Gas supply
 Workshop facility
 Civil work
 Waste water treatment (By effluent project)
14.3 Electricity
 Total electricity consumption: 2000 KW (2 MW)
 Electricity consumption according to division wise:
 For dyeing unit: 190 KW
 For weaving unit: 380 KW
 For finishing unit: 100 KW

14.4 Generator
An electrical generator is a machine, which converts mechanical energy (or power) into
electrical energy (or power).
14.5 Principle:
The energy conversion is based on the principle of the production of dynamically
(or motional) induced e.m.f. When a conductor cuts magnetic flux, dynamically induced
e.m.f. is produced in it according to flow if the conductor circuit is closed.
Hence two essential parts of an electrical generator are
• A magnetic and

127
• A conductor or conductors, which can so, move as cut the flux.

14.5.1 Types of Generator:


Generators are usually classified according to the way in which
Their fields are excited. Generator may be divided in to –
 Separately excited generators,
 Self-excited generators.
 Separately excited generators are those whose field magnets are energized from an
independent external source of D.C. current.
 Self-excited generators are those whose field magnets are energized by current
produced by the generators themselves.
 There are three types of self-excited generators named according to the manner in
which their field coils are connected to the armature.

Specification:
 Brand : GUASKOR Origin : SPAIN
 Capacity : 500 K.W/engine
 No. of cylinder : 4 stroke
 Fuel used : Natural gas
 Volt : 50 H.Z & 390-395 Volts
 Total Number : 4
14.6 BOILER

128
Fig. 14.6: Boiler

A steam generator or boiler is usually, a closed vessel made of steel for supplying steam.
Function:
Boiler‟s function is to transfer the heat produced by the combustion of fuel (gas) to water,
and ultimately to generate steam. The steam produced may be supplied:

 At low pressing for industrial process work in cotton mills.


 To wet processing department for
 Heating cylinder dryer.
 Steaming during dying and printing

Specification:
 Manufacturers : Babcock, Country : Germany
 Model : TD-100/10-54/GAS/E

 Gads cost/month : Tk. 2.1 million (for boiler only)
 Water flow : 5kg/hr

129
 Steam flow : 5kg/hr
 Steam temp : 1390c

14.6.1 Boiler Mountings:


Though there are many types of boiler mountings or fittings, yet the following are important
from the subject point of view.
 Water level indicate
 Pressure gauge
 Safety valve
 Stop valve
 Blow off cock
 Feed check valve
 Fusible plug

Proper maintenance of these above fittings makes boiler safe functioning & improvement of
economy. An economizer which is used to heat water by utilizing the heat in the exhaust
flue gases before leaving through the chimney improves the economy of the steam boiler.

14.7 Advantages of Using an Economizer:


 There is about 15 to 20% fuel saving
 It shortens the time required, to convert water into steam. It prevents formation of
scale in boiler water tubes
 Since the feed water entering the boulders is hot, the strains due to unequal
expansion are minimized

Precaution:
a. Industrial water i.e. boiler feed water must be free from heavy metals such as Ca, Fe and
salts Sulfate and Chloride. Water must be cleaned and be free from dissolved and Cos.
Because dissolved Og Ion Present of is a common cause of corrosion effect in the boiler.
b. The temp of feed should not be less than about 350c otherwise there is a danger of
corrosion due to the moisture in the full gases being deposited cold tubes.
