Process

Rafia Tape of PP is first produced by extruder, which is equipped with a suitable die, cooling ring,
temperature and process controls etc. From the extruder, the tape is taken off by a set of rollers.
The tape then goes to a slitting unit where it slits into tapes of 6 to 12 mm width depending upon
the requirements. The tapes thus made are conveyed to stretching orientation oven in which hot air
circulates at controlled temperature. The tapes are stretched to the desired level.
The oriented tapes are passed through a second godet station and then through the stabilizing oven.
The stabilized tapes are passed through a third gadget station and then to a cheese winder unit where
each tape is wound on a separate cheese.
The monoaxially oriented tapes of PP produced are woven into fabrics in circular looms. The necessary
working machine and prim winders are provided. The woven fabric can then be stitched into bags
in an industrial stitching machine. After converting the fabric into bags, it is printed with suitable ink
wherever necessary
For some cases laminated woven sacks are used. For packaging of fertilizers, it is necessary to
laminate the fabric before making it into bags. Whereas, in woven sacks, for cement packaging,
lamination is not required.

Production of FIBC involves the conversion of PP Granules to long tapes and later woven, cut to size, printed
and stitched to be used. The step wise production process is explained below.
Extrusion
Here the mix of virgin and recycled PP(optional) granules are being melted and converted into form of tapes
in a extrusion plant and at the end of the process are wound on bobbins of required size. This is the first
stage of process which determines the tensile strength of the tape.
Weaving
Extruded tape bobbins will be loaded in the Circular weaving machine or Flat weaving machine. Here the
tapes will be woven to fabric of required specification and will be wound in roll form. These fabrics will be-
come the body fabric of the FIBC.
Lamination (Optional)
PP fabric is being laminated with LDPE film for making the fabric moisture proof. This is optional process as
per the requirement of the customer.
Cutting
The woven PP fabric in rolls will be fed in the automatic cutting machine and will be cut in to cut bit of re-
quired size. This Automatic process is adopted to get better accuracy in cut size.
Printing
The cut bits that are the body fabric will be fed into the heavy duty printing machine to make the printing
impression on the fabric. Heavy duty printing machine, gives the best impression with maximum of three
colours.
Webbing
Heavier Polypropylene Tapes are woven in to webbing which forms the lifting loop of the Jumbo bag.
Sewing
Here all the components used to manufacture Jumbo bags are brought together along with the printed
body fabric. All the gathered parts are assembled to a Jumbo bag by highly skilled labours under the super-
vision of technically qualified supervisors.
Packing / Bailing
Here the bags which have been produced will be compressed with the help of the bale press and neatly
packed as per the requirement of the customers.

products which offers facilities at par with the international standards.

Nagaon produced 6494 MT of ginger and 1731 MT of turmeric in 2015-16

The processing for both spices


Cleaning/Washing: To ensure quality and to ensure that the product of free from extraneous matter, animal
or insect waste, mud etc, spices must first be washed well.
Boiling of tumeric: Turmeric rhizomes are first boiled before further processing is done to them. Therefore,
they may first be boiled and then sent for drying.
Drying: The fresh produce will be at its most useful to the spice processors or exporters once it has been
dried well. Higher content of moisture makes the spices susceptible to insect and fugal attack. At harvest,
ginger has a moisture content of around 80%. Raw materials must not have a moisture content above 6 –
7%.
Slicing of ginger: Mechanised slicing machinery can be used for the purpose of slicing of ginger.
Peeling of turmeric: The outer skin of the rhizome maybe peeled off mechanically.

121
Investment Opportunities The Regional crop specific Spices Park is a well-conceived approach to have an integrated operation for
cultivation, post harvesting, processing for value addition, packaging, storage and exports of spices and
spice products by meeting the quality specifications of the consuming countries.
High exports for ginger and turmeric: Ginger and turmeric are among the spices that are exported in large
quantities from India.
Intrinsic qualities of North eastern ginger and turmeric: The North East grows indigenous varieties of ginger
and turmeric that is not available elsewhere. This gives these North Eastern spices an edge over the same
spices produced elsewhere.
For example, North east produces turmeric if high curcumin content like the lakadong and Megha varieties
with approximately 7.4% curcumin as opposed to regular turmeric which contains curcumin at around 5%.
