BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Industrial Attachment Course is an academic function of the Southeast University. Like all other years our teacher Prof. Syed Fakhrul Hasan, Chairman, Department of Textile Engineering, gave us an opportunity to choose preferable mills for Industrial Attachment Course. We, the three students of 04thbatch choose BEXIMCO Knitting Ltd. Joyfully with the supervision of our teacher Md. Fazley Elahi. During the attachment with BEXIMCO Knitting Limited we worked in all the departments related with the Wet Processing Section.

It shows graphs for every program. Where, Yellow line = Indicates theoretical required temperature. Red line = Indicates practical temperature. Blue line = Indicates theoretical chemical dosing to vessel from tank. Pink line = Indicates practical chemical dosing to vessel from tank. Green line = Liquor level in vessel. In BKL from m/c no. 1-10 is controlled by this Beacon Controller. Advantages: 1. One officer can control 10 m/cs at a time. 2. Production is high. 3. Show programs with graphs. Dye Kitchen: Dyeing m/c no. 1-10 require 4 tanks. Tanks no. 1, 2, 3 are present in dye kitchen and tank no. 4 is present with dye vessel. In dye kitchen operator measures dye & soda according to requirement. Then operator dissolves dye with water in tank no. 1. According to program dye passes to tank no. 4 and then to dye vessel.

BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 5.1 Introduction and Basic Procedure of Planning and Control: A planned work brings success. Without planning nothing is completed 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. So BEXIMCO has a self-sufficient and high- performance department called "Production Planning & Control". Its Basic working procedure is as follows – 1. 2. Taking orders from marketing division. Analyzing the orders. 3. 4. 5. Planning for knitting the fabric. Planning for dyeing the fabric. Planning for finishing the fabric. It is only a basic procedure. It may change according to the type of order. Sometimes, order is places only for finishing the material or only for dyeing the white goods. Then some steps are omitted for planning procedure. 1. Taking orders from marketing division: BEXIMCO marking division supplies Fabric Orders to the BKL Planning and control division by a special format. 2. 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 need to be dyed. Dyeing balance, RFD (Ready for delivery), RFD balance, delivered fabric and delivery balance. 3. Planning for knitting: This section plans for knitting production. It selects machine for knit the fabric for specific type of fabric, type of yarn used, required GSM, width etc. It also gives delivery data for knitted fabric. It also places orders for buying of yarn from spinning mills by a specific schedule. 4. 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 YRS SEU Page 33
BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 section gives some 'T.' cards. 'T' cards are serialized according to the priority of delivery. The batches and 'T' cards also serialized as to dye light shade at first and lastly the dark shades, since faulty shades can be converted to dark color later. 5. Planning for finishing the fabric: Finishing schedule is same us 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, air etc to the customer within the meantime. Thus it plays a very important role in the success of the company. YRS SEU Page 34

WD = Wrong Design NL = Needle line. S = Stripe TT = Thick & Thin yarn. S = Slubs SM = Sinker Mark. WP = Wrong Ply,etc. 7.2.1 Four Point System: Size of defect Penalty 3 inches or less 1 points over 3 but not over 6 2 points Over 6 but nor over 9 3 points Over 9 inches 4 points YRS SEU Page 41
BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 Acceptance calculation: Total point per 100 square yards Actual points counted 36 100 = Actual Roll length Actual width = Points/100 square yards. Classification of Inspection Fabric : < 40 points = A 41-60 points = B 61-80 points = C 80 above = Reject. Acceptance: Generally any piece of fabric with 40 points or less faults per 100sq. yard is allowed to pass however for a roll, the average value should not exceed 18point per 100sq.yard.More than 40points faults per 100sq yard is recorded as “REJECT”.

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. M/c for Batch preparation: Two types of m/c’s : a) Turning m/c b) Plaiting m/c. YRS SEU Page 44
BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 CHAPTER- 09 SINGEING YRS SEU Page 45
BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 9. Singeing: Singeing is the process of burning of the fibre hairs projecting through the fabric surface. In a gas-singeing machine this burning is carried out by passing fabric against hot flames under specified conditions. Objects: To obtain a uniform & smooth fabric surface by removing hairiness. To ensure uniform optical reflectance throughout the fabric surface in subsequent fabric wet process. Equipment-used: Machine : Sando Gas Singing m/c. Manufactures : Sando Iron Works, Japan. Required Parameters: a) Steam: Steam is supplied to the steam box of the machine. Compressed air: The standard air supply pressure requirement is 4 kg/cm2. b) Water: The standard water supply pressure requirement is 1-1.2 kg/cm2. c) Natural gas: The standard gas supply pressure requirement is 3 kg/cm2. d) YRS SEU Page 46
BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 M/C Setup: Setup parameters Range Set value Speed(m/min) 0-120 55-60 for cotton. 70 for PC/CVC. Potentiometer Setting (rpm) 0-150 80-90 for cotton fabric 60-70 for CVC/PC. Burner in use 1 or 2 2 Burner operation mode. Auto/Manual Auto Flame height (cm) 1-8 6 for white & light shade fabric. 6.5 for medium & dark shade fabric 450to 900 450for blends 900for cotton Flame angle with the direction of fabric. Low – not used Medium – for white & light shade High – for medium & dark shade fabric Flame intensity Low/normal/ high Singeing Faults: a. Singeing line: Due to ununiform joint of bricks by cement, there become gaps between flame and thus singeing line is formed. b. Uneven singeing: One to uneven flame height uneven singeing is occurred. YRS SEU Page 47
BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 CHAPTER- 10 MERCERIZING PROCESS YRS SEU Page 48
BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 10. Mercerizing: Mercerizing is a physio-chemical process in which cotton fabric is treated with concentrated solution of caustic alkali & subsequently stretched & washed under specified conditions. Objects: To increase lusture of fabric. To increase the strength of fabric. To improve dimensional stability. To increase dye absorbency. Equipment used: Dornier mercerizing m/c (Germany). Required parameters: Parameters Value Squeeze pressure 1.5-2 bar (by compressed air) 800-900c Temperature of washing PH after mercerizing 7-7.5 In mixing tank : 80-900c In caustic stroage tank : 70-800c In chiller : 140c In Mercerizing bath : 160-200c Caustic solution temperature Set with fabric dia +3 1st sigar diameter Set with fabric dia +5 2nd sigar diameter 280Be Caustic strength YRS SEU Page 49
BEXIMCO KNITTING LTD. 2013 Function of m/c parts: Sigar: 1. To stretch the tubular knit fabric. 2. To prevent shrinkage. 3. To retain dimensional stability of fabric. 4. To wash off mercerizing chemicals from the fabric by spraying water on it. Padder Pressure: To squeeze and drive the fabric to a little extent otherwise there is a risk of forming edge line at two sides of fabric. Water valves: Supply water to washing tank. Steam values: Steam value supply steam to washing chamber. Mercerizing process faults: PHvariation Crease Water drop mark Spot Problem from sigar Holes Distortion of dimensional stability YRS SEU Page 50
