SCOURING
OBJECTIVE
• It is a process of removing grease and other impurities with hot
water, soda ash and detergent. It is a chemical process carried out in
a series of bowls where the wool is washed thoroughly.
• The impurities present in wool are
• Natural impurities –oil, fats, secreted by sebaceous glands of
animal skin (wool fat)
• Acquired impurities- sand, dust, and vegetable matter.
• Applied impurities- raw wool contents 24 to 25 % of impurities
WOOL SCOURING:
• Capacity of the machine is to feed 950 kg of wool per hr.
• Clean wool yield: 60 to 65% that depends up on wool quality.
• We are getting 3 to 4 % more yield than the standard
recommended value.

COMBING
Combing is a process followed after the gilling in
the grey scouring section for the following
reasons,
• To remove short fibers from the material
• To remove all vegetable (foreign) matter
• To straighten and parallelise the fiber
• To remove the neps and
• To lay the sliver into cans.
DYEING
DYEING: ( Bellini )
TOP DYEING
• Top dyeing is carried out after the first round gilling and
combing operations are over for the sample. In top
dyeing at first, sample dyeing is done in which 5 kg of
material is dyed in the laboratory and then after
increasing proportions of the chemicals dyes entire
bulk required for dyeing.
• Dyes used for wool are modified metal complex, 1:2
Metal Complex, acid milling dyes,chrome dyes. PET is
always dyed with disperse dyes.
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Capacity Of Machine – Minimum 5Kgs And Maximum
400Kgs

Medium Shade - Wool-4 Hr, Poly-5 Hr
Dark Shade -Wool- 5hr, Poly-6 Hr
Extra Dark Shade- Wool- 6 Hr, Poly-7hr
• Each dyeing machine is connected with a
microprocessor in which various dyeing programmes
are fed as per the material and shade.
RECOMBING
• Main function of this process is to proper
blending of polyester & wool according to given
proportion & at the same time maintaining the
shade by proper mixing of component,
• General processes:
• 55% Poly & 45% wool
• 65% Poly & 35% wool
• 38 % wool & 62 % wool
• These are the commonly used blends. According
to blend dept decides & calculate feeding of
poly & wool.
SPINNING

they are stored for conditioning in the trolley.
• The conditionings room is enclosed one and
humidifiers are installed for conditioning of
tops.
• The conditioning time is around 24 hrs. After
conditioning material is taken for spinning
process.
ROVING FRAME
The main objectives of the roving frame are as
follows
• Attenuation of material
• Preparation of suitable package for ring frame.
RING FRAME
The rubbing and roving frame bobbins are brought to ring
frame dept. the roving is converted into yarn by drafting
and twisting.
The objectives of the ring frame are as follows
• Attenuation and
• Twisting and winding on the bobbin.

Factors to be considered in promoting good spinning are as

follows
• Count of yarn
• Position of spindle rail
• Correct type travelers and
• Satisfactory spindle speed.
WEAVING
SECTIONAL WARPING
OBJECTIVE
• To produce weavers beam.
• To wind the warp end with equal tension on each and
every end.
• To produce different colour patterns.
• To produce a compact beam (without valleys and ridges).
• Sectional warping is done when one needs to produce some
design i.e. beam contain some different colours of yarn then
sectional warping is used. In sectional warping, the warp
threads are wound on the warping drum sectionally. After
winding on drum it is then taken on weavers beam.
WARPING FAULTS
1. Yarn cone of wrong size.
2. Wrong built of cone
3. Tension variation during warping.
4. Count mix during creeling.
5. Broken ends improperly repairs.
LOOM SHED
INTRODUCTION
• Weaving is the basic department for preparing a
fabric by interlacement of warp and weft yarns.
There are various looms for weaving available in
the textile industry.
• In RAYMONDS LTD., there are two types of looms-
Projectile (SULZER RUTI) and
Rapier looms (RIGID /FLEXIBLE RAPIER).
• About 225OO meters of linear fabric is produced
per day. There are total 112 looms working in
three shifts. That means each loom is producing
about 92 meters of fabric per shift.
MENDING
OBJECTIVE OF MENDING
• To remove mend able spinning & weaving the
defects from the fabric like neps , slubs ,
Missing end, loose pick etc
• After the mending fabric is delivered to
Finishing
FINISHING
Finishing department in Raymond is divided into
3 sections viz.
• Grey House,
• Wet Finish
• Dry Finish
GREY HOUSE
This section is called grey house because all the
grey material from the weaving department after
perching and mending is being sent to grey
house. It includes grey scouring,heat setting and
singeing.
 WET FINISH
• This section is known as wet finish section
because all the treatments that are carried out on
the material are in wet form that includes
rescouring and chemical treatment.
DRY FINISH
• This section is called the dry finish section as here
the fabric is treated in dry form throughout. Only
mechanical operations are rendered to the fabric
in order to enhance its look shine and feel. This
treatment is generally under the influence of
pressure and steam
FOLDING
• In this department checking of the fabric, cutting and
packing take place.
• Finish of the fabric approved as per the approved hanger
from the product department Shade checking is done as
per the booking hanger
• There are two markets
Domestic :- Civil, Exclusive and Stock Lot
Export , RAL, RMG & Institutional
• CIVIL
Visual inspection
• 5 TYPES OF GRADING
1. Good, 2. Second “A”, 3. Second “B”, 4. Second “C”, 5.

5.Projects
PROJECT 1: OBJECTIVE: TESTING OF TOP DYED
WOOL 
 There are various tests performed to determine various quality parameters of top
dyed wool. These tests are as follows :  

1. WASHING FASTNESS :-
OBJECT : To check out the washing fastness of the given sample.

 Atmospheric conditions : 70 to 90 0F
 Apparatus used : Washometer, measuring jar, scissors, grey scale, required
adjacent fabric (for covering the sample), etc.
 Detergent used : Surf excel
Result :
 No staining or change in colour occurs.
 Reading on grey scale is 4/5.
2. MOSTURE CONTENT :-

OBJECT : To determine the percentage of moisture content

present in the top dyed wool sample.
• Apparatus used : Air oven, weighing balance (to the accuracy
of 0.01), etc.
RESULT : It’s average value is found to be 14 %
(approx.).
 3. OIL CONTENT :-
• OBJECT : To determine the oil content (%) in the top
dyed wool sample.
• Apparatus used : Oil extractor, hot plate, weighing
balance, container, etc.
• Chemical used : Methanol (50 mL)

Where,
W1 = Initial wt. of the sample in gms
W2 = Container wt.(empty) in gms
W3 = Container wt.(with Oil) in gms
0.03 = Error correction
RESULT : It’s average value is found to be
0.42 %.
PROJECT 2: EFFECT OF FINENESS ON SHADE
• OBJECT : To observe the variation in shade according to the fineness of
given wool sample.
• MATERIALS REQUIRED : Samples of wool of various fineness as :
• 1. 17.5 Mic
• 2. 19.0 Mic
• 3. 21.0 Mic
• 4. 24.5 Mic
• DYE USED :ISOLAN YELLOW 2S 2GLN
• CHEMICALS USED :Green acid, Opticid PB IN Liq, Uniperol FBSE
• SHADE: Light shade of 0.5%.
• RESULT : “Finer the material, lighter the shade” it
produces at same dyeing condition.

• REASON FOR THE VARIATION : Since the material of

lesser micron i.e. finer one, have more number of
fibres in it considering equal amount of sample
weight as compared to that of those coarser ones.
Therefore, the finer the sample the lighter the shade
it will produce for the same recipe.
Project 3: Deriving a Time Standard Using Work
Sampling

• Work Sampling : A technique to measure work activity as

related to delays consisting of intermittent observations of
actual work and delays. Also known as activity sampling;
frequency study; ratio delay study.
• Observing an activity 100 times may not , however , provide
the accuracy desired in the estimate . To refine this estimate ,
three main issues must be decided.
• What level of statistical confidence is desired in the results?
• Hoe many observations are necessary?
• Precisely when should the observations be made?
The three primary application for work sampling are
• Ratio delay to determine the activity-time percentage for
personnel or equipment . For example, management may be
interested in the amount of tine a machine is running or idle.
• Performance measurement to develop a performance index
for workers. When the amount of work time is related to the
quantity of output , a measure of performance is developed.
This is related to the quantity of output, a measure of
performance is developed. This is useful for periodic
performance evaluation.
• Time standards to obtain the standard time for a task. When
work sampling is used for this purpose, however, the
observer must be experienced because he or she must attach
a performance rating to the observations.
• Standard time per piece= (((Total time in
minutes)*(Working time proportion)*(Performance
index))/(Total number of pieces produced))*(1/(1-
Allowences))

• (1- machine is on work)

• (0- machine is on hold)
 Result:
• So, average standard time per piece =
(168.2353+183.5294+152.9412+175.8824+160.5882)
/5
=168.2353 minutes
