II. Executive Summary /Introduction

Textile sector is one of the largest and fastest growing sector in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh earns highest foreign currency through this sector.

Industrial attachment helps us to familiar with technical support of modern


machinery. It also provides us sufficient practical knowledge about production management,
efficiency, industrial management, purchasing, utility, maintenance of machinery, their
operation techniques etc. The above mentioned factors cannot be achieved successfully by
means of theoretical knowledge only. This is why it should be accomplished with practical
knowledge in which it is based on. Industrial training minimizes the gap between theoretical
and practical knowledge and makes us accustomed to industrial environment.

In Hamid Fabrics Ltd, We got an opportunity to complete 8 weeks long industrial


training, which is a 100% export oriented factory. It has well planned & equipped with
modern fabric weaving, dyeing and finishing unit. In here we apply our theoretical
knowledge in the practical field, which minimizes our gap about actual concept. It also
improves our knowledge, confident & performance in that particular environment. University
education provides us vast theoretical knowledge, but industrial attachment helps us to be
familiar with technical support of modern machinery, skills about various processing stages.

We have prepared this report as required on completion of our industrial attachment


course in regarding guideline given by the university authority.

Mercerising
6.1.1 Singeing : Singeing is a process applied to both yarns and fabrics to produce an even
surface burning off projecting fibres, yarn ends, and fuzz. This is accomplished by passing
the fibre or yarn over a gas flame or heated copper plates at a speed sufficient to burn away
the protruding material without scorching or burning the yarn or fabric.
Singeing can be done by various methods such as plate singeing, roller singeing, gas
singeing. In Hamid fabrics ltd Gas singeing Machine is used for singeing.
Objects of singeing:
1. To remove hairy fibres projecting on the surface of cloth.
2. To increase luster in the finished fabric.
3. To give the smoothen surface.

6.1.2 De-sizing: De-sizing is a process by which size materials from warp yarn in woven
fabric is removed. For de-sizing a de-sizing agent is used which degrades the size material.
De-sizing can be done in various process such as Chlorite de-sizing, Bromite de-sizing,
Rot steeping, Acid steeping, Alkali steeping, Enzymatic de-sizing.
In Hamid fabrics ltd Enzymatic de-sizing is used which uses enzyme that degrades size
material of fabric.
Objects of de-sizing:
1. To remove starch from the fabric.
2. To increase absorbency of the fabric.
3. To increase luster of dyeing & printing.

The major function of inspection department is to find out faults in fabric and their possible
remedies.
In Hamid Fabrics Ltd fabric is inspected as both grey and finished.
6.4.1 Types of inspection:
1. Grey inspection:
Inspection & grading of fabric quality is one of the important functions of quality control is
the grey or finished state. The grading of fabric is difficult task, taking two primary
considerations: as the frequency of effects & the seriousness of defects.
Grading has two primary functions: 1 st to classify fabrics according to standard qualities
based on the end use & customer demands and 2 nd is to supply information as to the qualities
actually being produced.
2. Final Inspection:
 All pieces will be graded on the base of 4 points per 100 linear yards mapping will be
done on each piece to ensure proper grading. Do not count more than 4 points per one
yard.
 All defects must be recorded & marked in final inspection & an accurate account of
points made to ensure proper grading,

©National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research (NITER) Page 66


 All fabrics must meet specifications,
 At the end of each piece of fabric, the inspector will add up total points & decide
whether the piece can be shipped as first quality or not, reworked, placed in lower
quality, or cut & upgraded for shipment. Fifteen yards or more can be shipped as first
quality,
 Quality control supervisor must approve the grading of all quality levels & check the
lower quality,
 Major or unsightly defects in the first & last yard of a roll or piece will be cut. All
defects of one yard length or more will be cut of the piece. Defects within the first 2
inches or the last 2 inches of a piece will not be cut out or counted in the grading,
 Open defects on the back of fabric such as drops, runs & hanging picks are to be
included in the grading of the fabric,
 Pieces can be connected together, once each piece must be the same shade,
 All defects such as runs that extend more than a yard in length will be cut out.

6.4.2 Major fabric faults:


1. Crease mark
2. Miss pick
3. Shade variation
4. Stop mark
5. Foreign yarn
6. Mixed yarn

1) Raw materials and purchased components: Raw materials are inventory items that are
used in the manufacturer's conversion process.
Typically, raw materials are commodities such as chemicals, paper, wood, paint, steel, and
food items. However, items such as nuts and bolts, ball bearings, key stock, casters, seats,
wheels, and even engines may be regarded as raw materials if they are purchased from
outside the firm.
2) In process inventory: Work-in-process (WIP) is made up of all the materials, parts
(components), assemblies, and subassemblies that are being processed or are waiting to be
processed within the system.
3) Finished Products: A finished good is a completed part that is ready for a customer order.
Therefore, finished goods inventory is the stock of completed products. These goods have
been inspected and have passed final inspection.
4) Maintenance, repair and tooling inventories: Maintenance, repair, and operating
supplies, or MRO goods, are items that are used to support and maintain the production
process and its infrastructure.

Effluent is the stream of excess chemical liquor extracted from an industry after using in
original operation. Industrial effluent generated from different processes are treated with
various chemicals to remove or neutralize the environmentally toxic materials present in it,
before discharging it to surface or ground water. This is called effluent treatment. The whole
plant is called effluent treatment plant.

13.1 Object of ETP:


 To control pH.
 To remove coloring matter.
 To maintain proper value of BOD & COD.
BOD: The amount of Oxygen requires for living organism in the water to organize organic
matter present as food for organism is called as Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD).
COD: Chemical Oxygen Demand is defined as the amount of oxygen require to oxidize the
organic matter by strong oxidizing agent (KMnO4). It is known as Permanganate value.

13.3 Working procedure of ETP:
1. Collection Tank: The gross waste such as waste thread, fabric pieces, lints, color,
chemical etc are accumulate to the collection tank. Temperature is controlled to this tank.

2. Equalization Tank: Blower is always worked to supply oxygen to the equalization tank.
Color is also applied to mix the color at uniform stage.

3. Bio-logical Tank: Bio-logical Tank is very important stage of ETP. Aero bacteria is
produced in it. Urea-15kg/week, Dap-12kg/week, Mayleg-20kg/week is used. BOD, COD,
TSS, TS, DO, TDS, MLASS etc are controlled remaining pH at 7.6 to 7.8.

4. Clarifier: Clarifier helps the waste water to clear from sludge. The solid sludge
accumulate under the clarifier tank. Clear water separate from this tank. A moving roller
always move accumulated sludge not to fix them.

5. Electric Coagulation: It is a direct electric applied system where create folk into water.
High voltage electricity is used in it.

6. DAF (Dissolve Air Fluetation): After that polymer is used to make the folk particle
bigger from smaller. 250g polymer is used in 1000L water.

7. Filter: At last, Filter the water in a filter where water & sludge being separate from each
other. Water is drained and sludge is saved into filter which is cleaned after 1 week.

13.4 Causes of pH control:


 To prevention of the passage of alum through filters and the prevention of its attar
precipitation in distribution system.
 Prevention corrosive action.
 Control of small plant and animal life through ability to control the optimum living
conditions.
 Possible reduction in size of coagulating basins due to better flocculation.
 Possible increase in the efficiency of bacteria removal.
