| | Machinery | Spinning Frame – 4¼" Pitch Slip Drafting with two Legged & Tubular Flyers for Fine / Medium Count Yarns ; 4½" Pitch Apron – Drafting with Tubular Flyers for Fine Count Yarns & 5½" Pitch Vee-Roller Drafting with two- Legged / Tubular Flyers for Coarse Count Yarns normally used as Sacking Weft and 4 ¾" pitch Slip Drafting with Tubular Flyers for medium to coarse count of yarns. Ring Spinning Technology also employed for Yarn spinning. |
I | TWISTING | Objective | Manufacturing of multi stand yarns known as twine( plied yarn ) |
| | Machinery | 5½" Pitch Flyer, Ring (of various diameter of ring lift), Two - for- One (TFO) Twisters and Rope making machine. |
J | WINDING | Objective | Converting yarn into spool / cone suitable for beaming(warp) and cop for using as weft in the shuttle of loom. |
| | Machinery | Traverse Bar (TB) & Scroll / Grooved Drum type winding frames for Warp Yarns and Cop Winding frames (Conventional vertical type / automatic horizontal type) for winding of Weft Yarns. Precision Winding frames for compact / bigger package to accommodate more length of yarn, suitable for export. Assembly Winding and Cone winding to use in TFO Twister. |
K | PRE-BEAMING | Objective | Initial warp beam to be used in final beaming / sizing where number of threads / yarn are very high (Optional). |
| | Machinery | Namely, Indequip ; Hibbert ; Lisona Holt etc |
L | BEAMING & SIZING | Objective | To accommodate large number of individual yarns required as per width of the fabric and coating of warp yarns with size paste to prevent warp breakage during weaving and better weaveability. |
| | Machinery | Conventional Beaming for Hessian and Sacking and malti- cylinder sizing for other products. |
M | WEAVING | Objective | Interlacement of warp and weft to form fabric. |
| | Machinery | Conventional flat bed shuttle loom for hessian and sacking of various reed – space. Automatic shuttleless rapier loom, Onemack (S4A) Loom for sacking. Tape loom, Webbing, Dobby/Jacquard attached loom etc. Loom for Open mesh net/scrim cloths. Knitted Fabric. Breading for circular/double layer fabric directly made from yarn in one go. |
N | DAMPING | Objective | For unwinding of ex-loom cloth with spraying of water (optional) |
| | Machinery | Damping machine with water spraying done by nozzle; brush and spray types for smooth calendaring and subsequent finishing operation. Calendaring helps gaining in length of fabric. |
O | CALENDERING/INSPECTION | Objective | Pressing of cloth for removal of creases to improve fabric cover and making the fabric surface smoother and lustrous. Inspection of fabric at delivery of calender is done to identify defects in fabric during weaving followed by repairing / rectification. |
| | Machinery | Calendaring machine and Rolling machine. |
P | LAPPING/ ROLLING & MEASURING INSPECTION | Objective | Folding / compact rolling required for packing of hessian and carpet backing cloth. |
| | Machinery | Lapping machine and Rolling machine. |
Q | CUTTING | Objective | Sacking cloth after calendaring cut into pieces of required sizes to manufacture bags / sheets. |
| | Machinery | Rotary ; Guillotine, lap cutting etc. and also by hand cutting |
R | SEWING | Objective | Sewn of the open ends (mouth and side) of the small pieces of fabric. |
| | Machinery | Hemming operation to sewn mouth of the bags and Herackle operation to sewn sides of the bags and Safety sewing (optional) at the inner edge of the Herackle sewing to prevent failure of side sewing. |
S | BUNDLING | Objective | Counting of bags @ 25 nos. in each bundle to ease of packing. Done manually |
T | BAILING | Objective | Packing of hessian cloth / sacking bags for storing and dispatching. |
