SCOURING
 Wool Scouring is the
process of washing
raw wool in an
alkaline solution
(Esteem AJ 80-48) or
detergent
 . It is done to remove
impurities like mud,
vegetable matter and
grease present in the
raw wool.

DRYING
1.The wet wool is rotated over a perforated cylinder for its drying action
2. Three varying temperature at three different stages 75c , 80c, 85c
3. The drying wool is sprayed with the mixture of the oils for lubrication to provide antistatic properties b/w fiber- fiber
& fiber – metal.
4. The oils used - Selbena 4554 and Selbana 301IN , added in the ratio of 7:3.

1.2 carding machines, French manufacturer N.

2. 3 gill boxes , N. Schlumberger GN8 machines
3. 10 combers ,

24.
CARDING
Carding performs many functions including:
 removal of vegetable impurities (like burrs)
 gradual opening of wool fibers
 Parallel arrangement of fibers as evenly as possible called card sliver.

25.
CARDING MACHINE

26.
GILLING
The card sliver undergoes three gilling operations that prepare the card sliver for combing. This is done:-
• To remove hooks, align, straighten and blend the fibers
• To improve sliver uniformity (by doubling) so as to reduce fiber breakage and noil during combing
• To reduce any excessive extensibility of the card sliver.
• To ensure less chances of fiber breakage during combing.
Gilling machine consists of:-
• Draw or feed rollers - put uniform tension through the sliver and opens the fibers.
• Detaching or delivery rollers- detaches the short fibers.
• A nozzle -the gilled sliver is lubricated with SelbanaUN to reduce crimp and maintain friction.

27.
GILLING MACHINE

28.
COMBING
The result is the sliver
consisting of only long
wool fibers parallel to
each other, combed out
noils which are sold to the
carpet industry and are
utilized in making shawls
and blankets

29.
After combing, sliver is
sent to top forming
machine. This machine
automatically takes a
fixed weight of sliver,
8.5Kg and convert it
into top which is ready
for dyeing.
TOP FORMATION

30.
CONVERTER MACHINE
A Converter machine is
used to cut polyester
tows of continuous
filaments into a sliver of
shorter length. This
process is known as
converting .
Converting cuts the
filaments by passing
them between 2 rollers.
Result is a top formation
of 8.5 kg.

31.
DYEING
Wool and polyester cannot
be dyed together as they
have different properties
and affinity to different dyes.
The overall dyeing
process takes about 3-4
hours.

YARN ROOM
Three major purposes of yarn room are:
•Storage
•Identification
•Issue

50.
WEAVING
The weaving is a process of formation of fabric
with interlacement of warp and weft yarns using
a machine called loom.
PROCESS

51.
WINDING
Winding is the
process of yarn
transfer to obtain a
larger package from
several small
spinner’s packages.
. There is only one soft
winding machine with
48 heads and 3 SSM
winding machines
with 55 heads at this
unit.

52.
Warping is a process by
which long length of
many yarns are winded
on a flanged bobbin to
produce a warp beam.
Warping may be carried
out directly (direct
beaming) or indirectly,
in sections (sectional
warping)
WARPING

53.
DRAWING
&
DRAFTING
The warp ends are
passed through the
drop wires and
heddles of the
harness frames and
dents of the reeds
by drawing
process.
This can be
performed either
manually or by
automatic
machines.
MACHINE DRAWING MANUAL DRAWING

54.
KNOTTING
It refers to dressing of
old warp sheets over
new warp sheets by
clamp knotting
process. It is done
only for same quality
material. The dressing
of the yarns is done to
get the parallel yarns
for knotting.

55.
GATING
In this process the drawn beam, which is prepared in warping, is directly mounted on a loom

FABRIC STRUCTURE

58.
MENDING
 Fabric is checked on both the front and back sides i.e. 100%
inspection.
 Minor defects such as protruding fiber are corrected on the
spot manually; this Is known as general mending
 The major marked defects comes under extra work category.
 General Mending includes:
 Nods pulling and relaxing
 Nods and tails are trimmed
 Wrong end – correct end is inserted
 Broken pick – refilling by needle
 End missing – refilling by needle

59.
30,000-35,000 meter
of fabric on average
checked per day .
In the mending
department 90% of
the workers are hired
on contract basis

60.
FINISHING
 Textile finishing is a term used for a series of
processes to which all bleached, mended, dyed
and certain grey fabric are subjected before they
are put into market.
 They are carried out to improve the natural
properties of the fabric
 Various finishes applied on fabrics in Raymond are
- soft finish, anti microbial, water repellent, wrinkle
free.

 . The folding of the fabric is carried out according to the
requirements of the civil and exports market
 Inspection is done using the 4 point system
 Batch number, piece number, width, weight, quality and the
quantity for each roll is mentioned on a flag attached to the
package.
 Different qualities have different flags. Then selvedge
stamping, hand rolling and top-end stamping is done.
 Minimum length of each package: 15m
 Minimum Tube roll length: 20m
 Maximum length: Depends on the customer
