Fiber dyeing
Mixing/ blending
Blow room
Carding
Draw frame
Speed frame
Ring frame
Winding
Cheese winding
11
Raw material storage and inspection: For spinning section raw used generally is polyester and viscose. Viscose is brought as dope dyed from NAGDA unit of Birla Cellulose and polyester is outsourced from reliance industries. The cost of raw material is : Polyester Rs. 70-75/kg Viscose Rs. 100/kg
Generally yarn produced contains 65% polyester and 35% viscose. So storage area has stock of 15 days. That means even if unit do not gets supply of raw material for 15 days it can be run uninterrupted. The bags of polyester and viscose comes in form of bale with each bail having capacity of 250 kg. The storage area can store upto 25 metric tones of fiber and is spread in 60*30 sqmtr area.
12
Viscose:
This fibre comes from the industry of the Grasim itself. It comes from BIRLA CELLULOSE, Birlagram, Nagda (M.P). This fibre comes in the dyed form and its Denier varies from 1.2 D to 6 D (as per demand) and its staple length is 44mm.
13
A small sample of fibers are taken and is made to flow through the various process which is going to be involved in yarn production. Then properties of yarn is tested are machine setup is changed accordingly.

Dyeing Principle:
At high temperature the structure of polyester fibers opens out and dye is diffused in it and on further cooling the molecules are interacted in the polyester fiber structure. Polyester has crystalline structure so high temperature & high pressure is required.
Carrier
Washer
drier
17
Initially the bale of polyester/viscose is opened. The opened fibers then add in carrier. At the same time the water is added in carrier either manually or with the help of the machine. In these two modes the amount of water varies which is: In manual operation In automatic operation190 % 152 %
In the carrier a nylon cloth (cheeda) is used which prevents the fibers coming out. A metal plate is used at the bottom of the carrier as its support. This carrier is carried out in the main vat, where the water from addition vat and dye recipes is added. After dyeing the fibers are washed in washer to remove extra dye. Water and soap are used as the washing agents. After washing the fibers are taken to hydro to remove the water. Then the fibers are taken to drier to dry the fibers.

Dryer:
Dryer is used to dry the fibers. There are two types of drying machine. 1. Steam dryer 2. Radio frequency dryer(R/F dryer) Permissible moisture content in fibers: For polyester less than 5% and for viscose less than
1. Steam Dryer:
This drier is not generally used. This dryer is used when ever other dryer is in maintenance. In this dryer steam is used to dry the fibres. The main drawback of this type of dryer is that it adds some amount of moisture at the time of drying. This dryer is not very efficient as it needs steam and set of heaters also.
2. R/F Dryer:
This is modern dryer in which fibres are dried with the help of Cathode Rods.

Method of mixing: For mixing the procedure is as follows : Polyester is opened by blender (without beater) and layered in Layer Bin. Then a mixture of LV40+2152P+Water is sprayed on the layer. Then Viscose is opened by blender with beater and layered on polyester in alternate form till full mixing. Then the layers are cut vertically (1st Toppling) and are layered in 1st Toppling Bin after passing through blender for second time. The last step is followed again and the material is stored in Final Bin after 2nd Toppling.
The material is conditioned in the final bin for 8- 24 hrs before taking onto the machine. Number of blow room line =5 lines

WEAVING UNIT
In this department yarn of spinning department as a raw material for production of fabric is used. In GRASIM INDUSTRY there are various machines for the production of the fabric. There is a single Loom shed in which the production takes place. Firstly the preparation of the beam takes place in the preparatory department. And then transferred to the loom. In industry with 142 Looms, production of fabric is done. There are four different types of loom available (air jet, projectile, rigid rapier, flexible rapier).
Warping section:
Warping is the method incorporated to make BEAMS from the cone packages bought from the Spinning department or bought directly from the market. The method involves the rewinding of yarn from number of cones to the beam. The yarn is being wound on the Drums first and then to the Beams which are then taken to the Drawing in section. There are two types of Warping: Sectional Beam In B.T.M. Sectional warping is followed in all the machines. There are 5 machines of warping. Two of them are new which are used for beams for Air Jet Loom and The Sultex Loom. Rest are used for Projectile and Dornier looms. All use Magazine type creel and double side racks. All the machines use Flat Reed. There are 2 persons required per machine. One Supervisor. There are two sizes of beams being used. One of 1000 mm diameter and all other 800 mm diameter.

Beaming :
It is a process done after warping. The warp sheet prepared after warping is wound on a large beam for the purpose of draw in. Waxing is also done during this process by applying wax on the rollers through which the yarns pass. The purpose of waxing is to facilitate the weaving process by: Lubricating the yarn Avoid fabric faults
Precaution should be done while waxing so as to maintain the uniformity of wax applied as its excess may result in fabric faults such as shifted warp.

Drawing in section:
In this department the beam from warping machine comes to the drawing in department. The beam is kept on the drawing - in stand and here person have detail of Design, Draft, and Peg plan. Here two persons perform the task of passing the warp ends through heald frame, reed and drop pins. The person sitting behind the heald frames is known as Reacher and the person sitting on front of reed is known as Drawer. Reacher reaches to every end of the warp beams and the Drawer enters the hook through the heald frame and the end provided by the reacher is drawn by other one. In this way warp ends are drawn through the reed and the heald frame. Now the beam is ready to be taken to the loom.
Details: Number of Drawing in stands No. of person required 36 2 Persons (A.) DRAWER
(B.) REACHER
Drop pins are entered after the total process of the entering of the ends through the heald frames and reed is completed. Number of rows of Drop pins is one more or less of no. of heald frames in the machine. i.e. H.F. 1.

WEAVING
A woven fabric consists of 2 sets of yarns namely warp and weft. The yarns that are placed length wise or parallel to the selvedge of the fabric are called warp yarns or ends. The yarns that run crosswise are called weft yarns or picks or fillings. Woven fabric is the result of interlacing of warp and weft yarns according to the weave design. A weaving machine is also known as loom which is used to produce woven fabrics. The rising and lowering of warp ends are carried out but the harness frames that hold the ends by the means of harness and harness eyes. As the harness frames move up and down, an opening tunnel is formed due to separation of ends called shedding. Then weft pick is inserted through shed from one end to another by means of shuttle or other methods. Then a comb like device called the reed which is attached with sley, pushes the pick towards the cloth already woven is called beat up. These three motions are known as primary motion repeat again in order to perform the weaving process. Besides the 3 basic motions there are other auxiliary motions necessary for weaving continuously in a weaving machine. They are take up, let off, warp stop, weft stop, warp protector and temple motions. These auxillary motions help in order to produce a fault free fabric and enhance the quality. The various motions on the loom should be set in correct timing to perform their functions to produce good quality of fabric according to the market demand. To summarize the basic and auxiliary motions and their functions on weaving machines are as follows:Shedding: To separate warp yarns into two layers, one layer is raised and other lowered to provide an insertion path to weft yarn. Picking: To insert a weft yarn across the warp ends through the means of a shuttle or other weft carriers. Beat up: To push the weft yarn that has been inserted across the warp ends towards the fell of the cloth.

Big batching
Processing
Grey checking: In this checking fabric is passed over grey checking machine and checker marks at faulty places. After checking the fabric is collected in plate form in trolley. There are 13 machines for grey checking. This machine is used for inspecting the grey fabric from the weaving department. This machine comprises of a rolling mechanism on which the fabric beam from the weaving is loaded and rolled out on to an inclined glass table which comprises of two tube lights which helps in viewing the minor defects in the fabric. On the table is a wheel which rotates as the Fabric passes down the table. This wheel has a meter which denotes the length of the passing fabric. As the fabric passes the operator finds out the defects on the fabric. He marks these defects on a register along with the length at which the defect occurs. Following are the codes for the fabric defects: Defect Slub Knot Thick yarn Extra yarn Neps Code S 01 S 02 S 03 S 04 S 05 Defect Slough off Wrong weft Reed mark Temple mark Tuck in Code W 03 W 04 W 05 W 06 W 07

After noting down the type of defect along with the length of the fabric at which the defect occurs in a register, this register along with the fabric is passed to the Mending tables where the defects are rectified. The speed of the rolling of the fabric was generally around 35 mtr/min and the production on this machine on an 8 hr basis was 3000mtr.
Mending process:
In this process defects which can remove are mended manually. The defect which can not be removed are marked by red color thread known as flag. Total no. of menders in a shift = 80 265 mts. fabric is mended by a mender in a shift. This mended fabric is again checked. If there is fault then it will send to mender.
74
Big batching:
After the fabric is mended a big of same quality fabric is formed for same process. For batching the two ends of small batch fabric are stitched. In a shift 17000 mts. Fabric is big batched.

PROCESSING SECTION
The processing department of the Bhiwani Textile Mill was headed by Mr. C.P. Munshi and by Mr. Sandeep Bansal. All kinds of suiting fabrics PV, 100% Polyester, PV Modal (Regenerated) & PV Lycra - are processes here. Fabric specific procedures of processing are followed for these categories. The process house is complete in providing all the facilities of scouring, singeing, washing and finishing. The process house also has stenters that help in giving the heat treatment to the fabric. Dyeing is done using jiggers & jet dyeing machines. There are a total of 4 jet-dyeing machines. Mechanical finishing is provided to the fabric by using various machines for providing softening & luster. There are various machines for this purpose like zero-zero machine, Nikki press machines, compressive shrinkage range, decatizing machine. For this department the raw material is woven grey fabric. In this department the fabric is processed by various methods. The main processes which are used in GRASIM INDUSTRIES are the following :Scouring
Drying

Learning experience
(with reference to a single most interesting incident)
23rd Dec 2010 was the day we entered in the premises of Indias most reputed business organization; Grasim Bhiwani Textiles Limited. We started our internship with meeting different people in different departments. Though everything seemed the same like in any other company on the very first day but then slowly and steadily we realized the different that makes GBTL a strong and powerful organization. Yes, there was something different about it. Its location, friendly working environment but the most attractive thing that made our experience worth it was the BIELLA KIER DECATIZING machine. To us it looked like a cylindrical petrol or milk container of goods train. The machine was very fascinating. What appeared to us like a cylindrical carrier of a goods train was actually a container where fabric was kept inside for dyeing process to take place. Learning experience in GBTL was very much fun, thrilling and comfortable even in such harsh climatic conditions. The next interesting thing was the World Class Manufacturing
