For Circular knitting machine:

Diameter of the Machine X Gauge of the Machine X 3.14
For example: Diameter of the machine is 18 and Gauge of the machine is 24. Then the
number of Needles on the machine would be-
18 X 24 X 3.14 = 1356
For Flat Bed knitting machine:

Length of the Machine needle bed X Gauge of the Machine
For example: Length of the machine needle bed is 56 and Gauge of the machine is 14. Then
the number of Needles on the machine would be-
56 X 14 = 1568
Faults of Knitting:
1. Hole Mark
Causes:
Holes are the results of yarn breakage or yarn cracks.

During loop formation the yarn breaks in the rejoin of the needle hook.
If the yarn count is not correct on regarding structure, gauge, course and
density.
Badly knot or splicing.
Yarn feeder badly set.
Remedies:
Yarn strength must be sufficient to withstand the stretch as well as

uniform.
Use proper count of yarn.
Correctly set of yarn feeder.
Knot should be given properly.
2. Needle Mark
Causes:
When a needle breaks down then needle mark comes along the fabrics.
If a needle or needle hook is slightly bends then needle mark comes on the
fabrics.
Remedies:
Needle should be straight as well as from broken latch.
3. Sinker Mark
Causes:
When sinker corrode due to abrasion then some times can not hold a new
loop as a result sinker mark comes.
If sinker head bend then sinker mark comes.
Remedies:
Sinker should be changed.

4. Star
Causes:
Yarn tension variation during production.

Buckling of the needle latch.
Low G.S.M fabric production.
Remedies:
Maintain same Yarn tension during production.

Use good conditioned needles.
5. Drop Stitches
Causes:
Defective needle.
If yarn is not properly fed during loop formation i.e. not properly laid on to
the needle hook.
Take-down mechanism too loose.
Insufficient yarn tension.
Badly set yarn feeder.
Remedies:
Needle should be straight & well.

Proper feeding of yarn during loop formation.
Correct take up of the fabric & correct fabric tension.
Yarn tension should be properly.
6. Oil stain
Causes:
When oil lick through the needle trick then it pass on the fabrics and make
a line.
Remedies:
Ensure that oil does not pass on the fabrics.

Well maintenance as well as proper oiling.
7. Rust stain
Causes:
If any rust on the machine parts.

Remedies:
If any rust on the machine parts then clean it.
Proper maintenance as well as proper oiling.
8. Pin hole
Causes:
Due to break down or bend of the latch, pin hole may come in the fabric.
Remedies:
Change the needle
9. Grease stain
Causes:
Improper greasing
Excess greasing
Remedies:
Proper greasing as well as proper maintenance
10. Cloth fall- out

Causes:
Cloth fall- out can occur after a drop stitch especially when an empty
needle with an empty needle with closed latch runs into the yarn feeder
and remove the yarn out of the hook of the following needles.
Remedies:
Make sure all the latches of needle are closed with feeding yarn after a
drop stitch.
11. Barre:
A fault in weft knitted fabric appearing as light or dark course wise (width wise)
Stripe.
Causes:
This fault comes from yarn fault.

If different micro near value of fiber content in yarn.
Different lusture, dye affinity of fiber content in yarn.
During spinning different similar classes of fiber is mixed specially in
carded yarn & these fibers have similar characteristics.
In draw fame different similar classes sliver is mixed and make one sliver.
Remedies:
We can use this fabric in white color.
12. Fly dust:

Causes:
In knitting section too much lint is flying to and fro that are created from
yarn due to low twist as well as yarn friction. This lint may adhere or
attaches to the fabric surface tightly during knit fabric production.
Remedies:
Blowing air for cleaning and different parts after a certain period of time.
By cleaning the floor continuously.
By using ducting system for cleaning too much lint in the floor.
Over all ensure that lint does not attach to the fabric.

Lab dip is a process by which buyers supplied swatch is matched with the varying dyes
percentage in the laboratory with or without help of DATA COLOR
Lab dip plays an important role in shade matching & and detaching the characteristics of the
dyes and chemicals are to be used in the large scale of production so this is an important task
before bulk production.
Objective of Lab dip
The main objectives in lab are as follows:
To calculate the recipe for sample dyeing.

To compare dyed sample with swatch by light Box or spectroflash.
To calculate revise recipe for sample dyeing.
Finally approved lab dip (Grade: ABC)
The responsibilities of the laboratory are:

If matched then sample prepared from that recipe

If not matched than the color percentage is calculated by using Data Color

Recipe Prepared

Sample prepared according to recipe

Standard (From Buyer) and Sample prepared is Compared

If Okay then the sample is sent to Buyer

Buyer approves the sample and order for the bulk production.
Sample Received:
Buyer sends a sample which is considered as standard in whole process. Buyer also
gives some requirements about the properties of the standard fabric. For example, Buyer
wants good wash fastness, light fastness, rubbing fastness, pilling formation etc. The lab
receives this standard to make this fabric according to buyer requirements.
Standard is checked with the Reference from the inventory:
The factory dyed a lot of fabric in its running years. It also stores a lot of sample in its
inventory. The standard is first checked with the samples kept in the inventory.
If matched then sample prepared from that recipe:
If the standard is matched with the sample of inventory then the next process becomes
easier. Because after matching the sample with standard previously maintained recipe is
followed. If the sample does not match with the standard then the process goes to data color.
If not matched than the color percentage is calculated by using Data Color:
If the standard does not match with the samples of inventory, then the standard
percentage of color is found out from the data color machine.
Recipe Prepared:
According to the results of data color machine the recipe is prepared to get the desired
sample of that standard.
Sample prepared according to recipe:
Following the procedure the sample is prepared.
Standard (From Buyer) and Sample prepared is Compared:
After getting the sample is compared with the standard. And several tests are done to
meet the buyer requirement.
If Okay then the sample is sent to Buyer:
Sample is then sent to the buyer for the final approval.
Buyer approves the sample and order for the bulk production:
When buyer gives the final approval the fabric is sent to production floor for the bulk
production.
Properties test
Color fastness to rubbing (wet & dry):
Procedure:
Firstly a sample of size (14 5) cm is taken at Wales & Course wise. The crocking cloth is
put on to the finger &is staged by finger clip & run 10 times in 10 seconds manually &
assesses the crocking cloth with gray scale.
The crocking cloth is placed on the water, it will suck some water and crocking cloth is then
squeezed. Then place the wet rubbing cloth on to the finger and stag with finger clip and run
10 times in 10 seconds manually. The crocking is then assessed cloth by gray scale for wet
rubbing. Wet and dry rubbing are checked according to buyers requirement.
Color fastness to washing. (ISO/05-CO6):

Procedure:
1. Size of specimen: Sample &multifibre at (10 2) cm then stitch.
2. Detergent: 4g/l ECE detergent (WOB) + 1g/l sodium per borate put in distilled water
& cooled at 20C & measured PH (where necessary).
3. the program is run in the following way: -
Test no. TempC Liq.volume ml Time min. Steel balls Adjust pH
C2S 60C 50 30 25 10.51
4. The sample is rinsed twice with cold water.

5. At 60C by hanging or by flat iron pressing the dried but temperature should not less
more than 150C.
6.
Pilling test:
Procedure:
The fabric 12.5 x 12.5cm is cut & balanced mark should be 10cm by using template. Then
the fabric is sewn so that it can be firmly fit in the tube a moulded polyurethane tubes.Then
four tubes are placed in a box & started 602 rev/min for 5 hrs or according to buyer
requirement. Then the fabric is assessed by putting tested specimen on the cabinet &
compared with standard photographs.
Shrinkage &Spirality test:
Buyers requirements:
Template size: 50cm & 35cm, 25.5cm &18cm (use after quick wash).
Shrinkage: length wise--- 5%
Width wise----5%
Spirality: Left -------- 5%
Right -------- 5%
Procedure:
Firstly two ply of fabric is taken & put the template (50cm) on to the fabric. The template has
8 holes. Both length & width wise the template holes can measure 35cm at 3 places. Then 8
holes are marked by permanent marker & also at the edges of the template.
The fabric is sewn & it is given to the washing m/c for run at 60C for 60minutes with water.
After that the sample is dried & then fabric is measured.
Calculation:
Shrinkage Test:
Lengthwise:After wash Before wash

Dyestuff Strength test:

Dyestuff strength test is very important for any textile dyeing industry.
A dye comes to industry then a sample fabric is dyed first to make it a reference. When that
dye is used and finished from inventory, new dye is ordered. But it is not sure the dye that
reached newly, will make a fabric as much dyed as before. That is why after arriving of dye
to the factory it is used to make a sample. Then this newly made sample is checked in respect
of previously dyed sample. If the two samples match with each other, it is resulted that the
strength is okay. But if not match then the amount to be given (less or more) is determined.
Thus the strength of dyestuff is measured in this way.
Remarks:
The laboratory of the factory is well enough to make quality products. But more attention to
laboratory is required to make it more efficient. The informations that lacks about laboratory
in this report is just the result of the unavailability of time of the depart
Chapter Eight:
Dyeing section
Cellulose:
When all impurities have been removed from the natural cotton fiber, cellulose remains.
Cellulose has an empirical formula of (C6H10O5) n. pure cellulose is a white substance with a specific
gravity of 1.5. It burns freely in air with a luminous smokeless flame. Cellulose is insoluble in water
and alkalis but dissolves in cold concentrated sulfuric acid. Like other carbohydrates, when heated
with concentrated sulfuric acid it swells up, forming a mass of carbon. It is also attack by hydrochloric
acid nitric acids.
When hydrolyzed with dilute acids an almost theoretical yield of glucose is obtained. This indicates
that cellulose is a long-chain polymer produced by linking together a large number of glucose units.
Starch and glycogen are also polymers of glucose but they have no fiber forming attributes.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that cellulose is a polymer of glucose, and it must contain a
large number of CH2OH and CHOH groups.
The repeating unit in the cotton polymer is cellobiose, which consists of two glucose units. Cellobiose
is hydrolyzed by the enzyme emulsion, which it is known, will only break down links between beta
glucose molecules. cellobiose consists of two beta glucose molecules linked together at the 1:4 carbon
atoms.
The most important chemical grouping on the cotton polymer is the hydroxyl groups or -OH groups.
These are also present as methylol groups or CH2OH. Their polarity gives rise to hydrogen bonds
between the OH groups of adjacent cotton polymers. Van der Waals forces also occur but
compared with the hydrogen bonds, the Vander Waals forces are of little significance.
Chemical composition of raw cotton:
Component Main location Relative amount
Cellulose Secondary wall 86.8 %
Oil and Wax Cuticle 0.70 %
Pectins Primary cell wall 1.0 %
Carbohydrates Primary cell wall 0.50 %
Protein Lumen 1.2 %
Salts Lumen 1.0 %
Water Whole 6.8 %
Others 2.0 %
Classes of dyes on the basis of suitability of dyeing different fibers:
Sl. no Name of dyes Suitable for Fibers
01 Acid dyes Wool, silk and Nylon
02 Basic dyes Nylon, Acrylic, Acetate Rayon, Silk, Wool and Jute
03 Direct dyes Cotton, Viscose Rayon, Linen, Nylon, Wool and Silk
04 Azoic dyes Cotton, Viscose and Linen.
05 Vat dyes Cotton, Viscose and Linen.
06 Sulpher dyers Cotton, Viscose and Linen.
07 Reactive dyes Cotton, Viscose, Linen, Wool, Silk and Nylon.
08 Disperse dyes Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic, Acetate Rayon and Triacetate Rayon.
Theory of Reactive Dyeing:
Reactive dyes are colored compounds and the only class of dyes that form covalent
bonds between the dye molecules and the fibers. The dye contain reactive group which react
with the fiber and make covalent bond with the fibers in the alkaline condition and act as an
integral part of the fiber is called reactive dye. Reactive dyes may be used for coloration of
cellulose and protein fibers and this is the most important class of dyes for dyeing and
printing of cellulosic fiber.
Structural characteristics of Reactive Dye:
Characteristics structural features of reactive dyes are as follows ---
D B R - X
Where,
D = Dye part
B = Bridging group
R = Reactive group bearing part
X = Reactive group.
Dyeing mechanism is completed by three stages-
Exhaustion of dye in the presence of electrolyte
Fixation of dye under alkaline condition
Wash of the unfixed dye from material surface
Exhaustion:when the fabric is immersed in the dye liquor an electrolyte is added to

assist the exhaustion of dye. Here NaCl is used to neutralize the negative charge
formed on fabric surface & puts extra energy to penetrate dye molecules.
Fixation: fixation of dye means the reaction of reactive group of dye with the
terminal -OH group of fiber& thus forming strong covalent bond with fiber.
Controlled by maintaining ph by adding alkali properly.
Wash off:as the dyeing is completed a good wash must be applied to remove extra
or unfixed dye from surface of fabric & for level dyeing it is important.
Reaction with Cellulose Fiber

Reactive dyes formed covalent bond with cellulosic fiber by Nuclueophilic
substitution and addition reaction. The reactions are as follows ----
Substitution reaction:
D R Cl + HO - Cell D R O Cell + HCl
Addition reaction:
D F CH2 = CH2 + HO Cell D F CH2 CH2 O Cell

Reaction with water:
The cold brand reactive dyes are highly reactive in nature. They react also with water
and get hydrolyzed. The reaction is as follows ----
D R Cl + HOH D R OH + HCl
The hydrolyzed dye is also colored substances and has very low substantivity for the
cellulosic fiber. So they are attached with fiber surface after dyeing. If they do not washed
away from the fiber surface the fastness property of the fiber must be very low.
Dyes: The molecules of the organic compounds called dyes are responsible for the color of
dyed and printed lest tile fabric materials. Dye molecules are colored became they are
selectively able to absorbed and reflect incident light. Dyes molecules contain at least one of
each of the radicals called chromophores and auxochromes.
Pretreatment:
Pretreatment is the preparation period of fabric fro dyeing. For getting proper fastness of
fabric and proper dyeing pretreatment is a mandatory process.
Demineralization:
It is a process of removing mineral materials from the water. It is done in water treatment
plant. Water from natural sources contains many mineral materials which may hamper the
dyeing process. If the mineral materials are present in water then it may lead to uneven shade
in dyeing. Besides it may also damage the fabric and the machine.
Scorning:The process to remove fats, oil, waxy substances and added the impurities by
certain percentage of alkali treatment and which increase the absorbing power of the textile
units, is called scouring.
Bleaching:The process by which the natural color of a fiber can be removed and make the
textile this pure white and bright is called Bleaching.
Wetting agent:The chemical which is used for quickly moisten or watering the textile
units is called wetting agent.
Detergent:Detergent are nothing but a chemical which is used for clearing the textile units
or to remove fats, oil and wash. It is know as surface active agent.
Labeling agent:The chemical which are used for dyeing just to give level shade or even
dyeing is called leveling agent.
Enzyme: It is one kind of biocatalyst. It is based on problem. It is soluble in water but

insoluble in acid and alkali.
Salt:Act ad erectility, helps to exhaust dye molecules to the fiber.
Exhaust:The absorption of dye moleules from the dye liquor by the fibers being dyed.
Electrolyte:A compound which is aqueous solution or in the mother state, inducts an

electric current and is simultaneously decomposed by it into inns compounds which
dissociate into inns and /or radicals in aqueous solution.
Hydrolysis:The chemical decomposition of a substance by the action of water, the water

itself being also decomposed. Acids and alkalis often catalyses hydrolysis. The destructive
effect of hydrolysis upon fiber polymers will then also result in the rupture of inter- polymer
forces of attraction.
Hydrophilic:Having a strong affinity for water, or moisture absorbent
Hydrophobic:Having an aversion to water, non-absorbent or water repellent.
Components:Upon which dyeing Process Depends:
(1) Sulostrate
(2) PH
(3) Dyeing Assistant
(4) Temperature
Dyeing AssistanceThese are added in dyeing bath for which dyeing affinity is increased
is called dyeing asst.
(1) Electrolyte
(2) Leveling agent
(3) Carriers
(4) Solvents
Factors to be considered for dye & dyeing process selection:
(1) Hue
(2) Shade
(3) Brightness
(4) Cost
Topping:The application of further colorant not necessarily of the same hue/class to a dyed
substance in order to adjust the lather to the denied final color is called topping.

Chapter Nine:
Finishing section
Introduction of Finishing:
Textile finishing involves treating a textile material in such a way that the product has the
desired properties required for its intended useand therefore has great market value. The
desired properties may include the fabric dimensions and their stability, its weight, drape,
appearance, softness and handle, as well as any required functional properties such as
resistance to creasing, flame, water, oil, dirt or bacteria. Textile finishing is therefore an
extremely diverse field involving an extensive range of chemicals.
The degree of permanency of a particular finish for a fabric depends on its intended use. The
chemicals used may weigh the fabric to make it easy to slide and handle, or allow smooth
penetration of a sewing needle to minimize needle breakage.
Anyone involved in textile coloration must be aware of the influence of preparation process
on the dyeing behavior of the fabrics as well as the finishing chemicals on the final color of
the goods and on their color fastness properties. Without this knowledge, nobody can ensure
the ultimate color and its fastness properties
.The techniques of finishing depend on the following:
Nature of the fabric,

i.e. chemical composition, state, weave etc. this determines the appearance,
i.e. transparency, luster, fullness, weight, whiteness etc.
After dyeing, knit fabric is required to finish. During dyeing all knit fabric are dyed in tubular
form. According to buyer's requirement knit fabric are finished in Open form or tubular form.

Color Fastness:-
The resistance of a material to change in any of its color characteristics, to transfer its
colorant to adjacent material or both as a result of exposure of the material to any
environment that might be encountered during the processing, testing , storage or use of the
material. Color fastness types:
Wash fastness to hot water as per ISO method
Wash fastness to cool water as per ISO method
Rubbing fastness (dry & wet)
Light fastness
Perspiration fastness
Dry cleaning fastness
Chlorinated or sea water fastness
Factors affecting color fastness:

Dye size or molecular structure of a dye
Types of bonding (i.e., ionic , co-valent, H-bond etc.)
Amount of dye present in fibre
Chemical nature of fibre or compatibility of dye with fibre
Presence of other chemicals like binder
The actual condition prevailing during exposure and after treatment
Reasons of color loss:

Due to decomposition of dye molecules
Due to removal of external media

Grey scale for assessing change in shade:
EN ISO 105-A03 / IUF 132 / VESLIC C 1211

This Grey Scale is for assessing the degree of change in shade caused to a dyed Textile
fabric / yarn in color fastness tests. For example, the change of shade of wool and cotton
fabrics in the wash fastness, perspiration fastness etc. The scale consists of nine pairs of gray
color chips each representing a visual difference and contrast.
The fastness rating goes step-wise from:
Note 5 = no visual change (best rating) to Note 1 = a large visual change (worst rating).
The gray scale has the 9 possible values:

5, 4-5, 4, 3-4, 3, 2-3, 2, 1-2, 1.
It is now quite common to measure the Grey Scale change in color instrumentally. This is
made using a suitable reflectance spectrophotometer according to the test method
procedure, EN ISO 105-A05.

Note:
In the CAD section normally they calculate the fabric consumption for a large size sample.
For this, the amount of required fabrics is more. So fabric wastages are more. If it is possible
to evaluate the fabric consumption for each then some fabrics may be save. And it will be
beneficial for the Company.

Process loss:
Fabric loss is a major contribution to material utilization. Minimizing fabric loss during
spreading can reduce the total production costs for garment manufacturing. This is the key
point which has been highlighted in this report. Today garment industry is facing very tough
scenario because of more competitors and less buyers, buyers have many options but
suppliers have very limited choices, the time has gone when there was quota system and
garment industry didn't need to be very many efficient but today suppliers are fighting for
price and quality; on fewer prices better quality is expected. Orders are given to the suppliers
who offer better quality and less prices. So within such scenario, only the things which can
increase profit and minimize loss of a company is fabric saving. Fabric loss in cutting section
may be for following reason.
Inefficient marker
Variation of fabric diameter
Higher GSM than required
More fabric faults
More dyeing faults.

Cost Analysis
Cost analysis
Costing of the product:

Costing system mainly describe how the cost of the final product is fixed by the company /
top managements. As it is a garments manufacturing factory, so according to the buyer /
customer requirements of final garments, merchandiser give the consumption of fabric with
specifications. Then it is calculated how much dyestuffs & chemicals are required for
processing. After that, the final cost is fixed including some profit. Then the unit price is
offered to the buyer for their approval.
Costing of a product includes:

Yarn cost
Knitting cost
Dyes & chemicals cost
Cost of dyeing
Cost of finishing
Cost of cutting ,sewing, accessories etc
Cost of printing (If any)
Labor cost (direct & indirect)
Factory cost
Office & administrative cost
Sales and caring cost
Others cost
Profit, etc.
Price of different operation (Approx.):

Knitting Cost Single Jersey (Normal) : 8 Tk/Kg
Knitting Cost Single Jersey (Feeder Stripe) : 28 Tk/Kg.
Knitting Cost Single Jersey (Auto Stripper) : 120 Tk/Kg.
Dyeing +Finishing charge for medium shade: 85~90 Tk/Kg.
Dyeing +Finishing charge for deep shade : 100~110 Tk/Kg.
Tube finishing (Dewatering +Dryer + compactor) : 15-20 Tk/Kg.
The costing of the product is most secret matter of the Industry. They are not interested
to flash the cost related data. So we could not collect the Costing process of the products.
Production Cost Calculation:

Fabric Weight 10 Kg
Calculation:
For dyeing total process lost: 12% to 15%.
Say, Process lost: 12% for given sample.
From given sample, we find out

Say, washing & finishing cost = 60Tk/kg (Normal)
Total washing & finishing cost = 10.30 X 60 = 618 Tk

= 9.08 $
So, Total fabric production cost = (34.72 + 23.52 + 4.24 + 9.08) $

=71.56 $
Say, Overhead cost per kg fabric = 12tk.
Overhead cost = 10.30kg X 12 Tk/kg = 123.6 Tk = 1.82 $.

Profit 30 % = 22.1 $.
Total cost = (71.56 + 1.82 + 22.1) $ = 95.48 $
Total selling price per kg fabric = 9.548 $

= 650 Tk.
Note:
1. If yarn count change then yarn purchased cost change.
2. If yarn color change then dyeing cost increase / decrease.
3. If washing & finishing process change then washing & finishing cost change.
Remarks:
The costing of the product is most secret matter of the Industry. They are not interested to flash the
cost related data. So we could not collect the Costing process of the products.

Water Treatment Plant (WPT):

Water for a textile plant may come from various sources. But this water can not be used
directly in textile processing because it contains various salts. These salts are mainly the
carbonates (CO32-), Hydrogen carbonates or bi-carbonates (HCO3-), Sulphates (SO42-) and
Chlorides (Cl-) of Calcium (Ca2+), and Magnesium (Mg2+). These are called hardness in the
water. These must be removed though water treatment plant.
Water is supplied in different sections continuously by using submersible and centrifugal
pumps.
Methods of expressing the water hardness:

1. In Degrees, and
2. PPM (parts per million)
Hardness measurement calculation:
Required EDTA * 1000 * EDTA factor

PPM =
Total amount of water
There are different types of water softening process:
1. Soda lime process.
3. Base Exchange process.
4. Demineralization.
5. Soda alum process.
6. Aeration process.
7. Chelation on sequestration.
In Fakir Knitwears Ltd. follow the base Exchange water softening process for softening the
hard water.
Base Exchange process:

This methods depends upon the use of zeolite or Base Exchange complexes. The zeolites are
hydrated silicates of sodium & aluminum with a general formula.
(Na2O)X (Al2O3)Y(SiO2)Z (H2O)n
The following reaction occur when contact with hard water.

For temporary hardness,
Ca (HCO3)2 + Na2O.Z CaO.Z + Na2CO3 + H2O

Mg (HCO3)2 + Na2O.Z MgO.Z + Na2CO3 + H2O
For permanent hardness,
CaSO4 + Na2O.Z CaO.Z + Na2CO3

MgSO4 + Na2O.Z MgO.Z + Na2CO3
In where Z is the abbreviation for the Al2O3 SiO2 H2O part of Zeolite.
Regeneration:
1 kg resin required = 200 gm salt
Salt : water = 1 kg : 4.5 L
Used water = 6500000 Ltr/Day
CaO.Z + NaCl NaO.Z + CaCl

The CaCl and residual NaCl washed away and the regenerated Na2O.Z can be used to soften
the hard water again.

ETP:
Effluent is the stream of excess chemical liquor extracted from an industry after using in original
operation. In the case of dyeing industry, the excess dye liquor extracted from textile industry
after dyeing is an effluent of that industry.
Fakir Knitwears Ltd commitment to the environment can be gauged from the fact they seek to
meet all the legal norms. Taking for instance the establishment of ETP & WTP because they
have, nothing is more important than the maintenance of pollution-free environment. Fakir

Conclusion
Conclusion
There is large difference between the theoretical knowledge and practical experiences.
This is truer in case of the study of Textile Technology. Industrial attachment or,
Industrial training is an essential part for textile education because it minimizes the gap
between theoretical and practical knowledge. The Industrial training increase our
though a lot about textile technology. It also helps us to know a lot about industrial
production process, machineries, and industrial management and made us suitable for
industrial life. Besides it gives us the first opportunity to work in industry. So we can say
industrial attachment prepare us for the expected destiny of practical life.
We have completed my industrial attachment fromFakir Knitwears Ltd.During my two

months long industrial training at Fakir Knitwears Ltd. We got the impression that this
factory is one of the modern export oriented composite knit garments industry of our
country. This factory does not compromise in case of quality. So, they have established
on-line and off-line quality control of each product. Besides, they also use the good
quality yarn, dyes and chemicals in their production process. Due to this, it has earned a
very good reputation in foreign market for its quality product over many other export
oriented textile mills. It has very well educated and technically experienced manpower
to get rid of any defect in production process. It has also a good organizational
hierarchy.
My Achievements:
We have got a lot of knowledge about the laboratory work and the steps
that should be maintained before bulk production.
We have identified the process sequence dyeing and gathered adequate
knowledge about each process sequence.
We have earned some mechanical knowledge about dyeing machine.
We have found some special points that should be considered during
dyeing production.
We have understood about industrial environment and administration .
Some suggestion:
Industrial salt should not be used because it corrodes the inner parts of
dyeing machine.
Dyeing production needs to increase as well as technical persons need to
be employed there?
More skilled labor should be used in a project and the overall efficiency
will have to be increased.
Dyeing machine must keep dust free.
There need proper handling of the machine.
Check all production parameter regularly.
Dyeing floor should keep always net and clean. It kept wet after unloading
the fabric from the dyeing machine specially, for Athena. Water must be
swept time to time.
During the transport of the fabric and during the loading of the m/c,
fabrics get soiled due to their drawing over the floor. This makes the
fabric/part of the fabric dirty. It may require more scouring/bleaching
agent or may create stain.
Due to the pressure of higher production sometimes machine operators
do not maintain accurate time according to the actual process so that less
quality product is produced and may reject. So need to be increased
machine and reduce the pressure on the operator.
Should increase understanding between the top level personal and floor
level personal.
Finishing section need to be enlarged well as more technical persons need
to be employed there?
The m/c stoppage time should be analyzed and minimized. The
maintenance should be carried out when the m/c is out of action
(Wherever possible) and routine maintenance should be carried out
regularly.
In the Laboratory there is no technical person, a textile engineer may be
employed here.
There is shortage of proper light in the dyeing and finishing floor,
specially, when smoke is produced from dryer and stenter. Proper
lighting should be provided in the floor.
The person at the top level of a department must take good care of the
trainees & he should provide all kinds of support to them.
Limitations of the report:
Because of secrecy act, the data on costing and marketing activities have
not been supplied.
We had a very limited time. In spite of our willing to study more it was not
possible to do so.
Some information in different sections are not included as these were not
available.
It is not possible to hold the whole thing of a textile industry in such a
small frame as this report. So, try our hard to summarize all the
information that we are provided.
