SPINNING DEPARTMENT
Spinning is the twisting together of drawn-out strands of fibers to form
yarn, and is a major part of the textile industry. The yarn is then used to
create textiles, which are then used to make clothing and many other
products.
RAW MATERIAL
UNPROCESSED WOOL
MIXING AND BLENDING
In the blending process, a reproducible
homogenous mixture of different fibres is
produced ,so as to get desired
properties, is the finished product while
improving the functional properties of
product, improving the process
performance and maintaining the
economy of product.

PASSAGE OF MATERIAL (LAP FEED)
CARDING
● Individualisation and partial
parallelisation of fibre
● Fibre to fibre separation
● To affect thorough mixing of the Fibre
● Removal of remaining trash of B/R
process
● Conversion of lap or opened fibre into
sliver
DRAW FRAMES

LMW RING SPINNERS
USED FOR SYNTHETIC SPINNING
AUTOCONER
To remove imperfection of spun yarn and
make big package in the form of cone.
PRERNA TFO
CHEESE WINDING
To wind two or more threads from cone to cheese without inserting any
twist.
P.S.METLER-FMKS
DOUBLING
The doubling twist is imparted to yam wound on cheese. There are two
processes of doubling
1. T.F.O — [n this process twisting and winding on cones is done
simultaneously to provide knot free yarns.
Objective:
To impart two twist in one rotation of the spindle.
PRERNA TFO
2. Ring doubling — Here only twist is provided to the parallel wound
yarns. These yarns are the wound in cones at cone winding. At cone
winding the yarn is cleared of defects.
CONDITIONING
Before packing the yarns produced are subjected to a treatment in the
conditioning room to increase the moisture content of the cone according
to the requirement. It increases the weight of the cone marginally.
VORTEX SPINNING:THE NEW TECHNOLOGY
Vortex spinning technology is a modified form
of jet spinning which has attracted a lot of
attention because of its advantages
over ring spinning, open end and air-jet spinning.
WEAVING DEPARTMENT
RAW MATERIAL SECTION
Raw material is stored at the raw material gowdown. Most yarn required
for weaving is produced at spinning section of the BSL limited. Other
suppliers for the raw materials are:
● Reliance industries limited
● Rajasthan spinning and weaving mill
● Banswara Synthex
● Sangam India

Drum circumference - 2 metre
Warping length - 14 — 280 metres
Production information:
Time taken to prepare 1 drum — 2 to 2.5 hours
Time taken to transfer the warp yarns from drum to beam — 40 mins.
DRAWING-IN SECTION
● Once the beam is prepared in the warping section, it comes to the
drawing in section.
● The beam is kept on the beam stand and a person having complete
details of the design, draft and peg plan does the drawing in. Here one
end of the warp yarn is passed through the heald frame, drop pins and
reeds.
WEAVING SECTION
Weaving is a textile craft in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are
interlaced to form a fabric or cloth. The threads which run lengthways are
called the warp and the threads which run across from side to side are the
weft or filling.
RAPIER LOOMS
Weft insertion mechanism:
● The key component of the machine is the set of rapier. There are two
set of rapiers in the machine having positive motion. The rapier takes
the weft yarn from the supply package.
● After picking it carries the yarn forward on a guide at the centre of the
machine another rapier receives the yarn can carry it.
● It is the cut end of the weft which is transferred {end or tip transfer).
The yarn clamps in the rapier heads is positively actuated at the
transfer (in addition to any positive actuation at weft pick—up and
release}.
PROJECTILE LOOM
● The key to the machine is the gripper projectile. In the picking
position it takes over the thread drawn from the supply package.
After picking, it carries the thread into the shed and is braked
upon entering the receiving unit.
● The tucking needles then tuck in the thread ends, forming firm
tucked—in selvedge.
● Finally, the projectiles is ejected from the receiving unit and taken
back to the picking position by conveyor.
● The projectiles are accelerated
by a torsion bar. This is
tensioned. storing the energy
needed for a flight through the
shed. Following the release of
a lock, it accelerates the
projectile smoothly and
resumes its initial position at
once.
● The flight velocity of the
projectile is determined by the
torsion angle of the bar and
can therefore be matched.
INSPECTION
Grey checking section
Grading of fabric on the basis of defect they contain are as follows:
● 0 —5 defects — A grade
● 6—12 defects — B grade
● 13 — 23 defects — C grade
● 24 and above defects — D grade
PROCESSING
The department is divided into

DYEING MACHINES:
At Bhilwara processors limit following two types of dyeing machines are
used:
1. Beam dyeing machine
2. Jet dyeing machine
BEAM DYEING MACHINE
In beam dyeing machine the beam is created
first by wounding the full length fabric on a
perforated beam. After creating the beam the
beam is inserted into the beam dyeing machine.
In this type of dyeing the fabric is kept
stationary and the dye liquor is circulated. This
type of dyeing have good colour fastness.
JET DYEING MACHINE
Jet dyeing is a very efficient contact between the dye liquor and fabric is
obtained by both are in constant movement. This result improved level of
dyeing shorter dyeing time. Fabric is circulated through the dye bath in
rope form. The movement of the fabric occurs by circulating the dye—
liquor through a venture jet.
HEAT SETTING
•A thermal process taking place mostly in either a steam atmosphere or a
dry heat environment.
•The process gives fabric dimensional stability
•Other desirable attributes like higher volume, wrinkle resistance or
temperature resistance.
•Used to improve attributes for subsequent processes.
SINGEING
● Fuzzy and protruding fibres are removed by
burning them off.
● The main purpose is to get a clear and
smooth surface.
● Usually performed on both sides of the fabric

SUPER FINISHING MACHINES
•It has the same function as that of the Calendering machine i.e. to enhance
the physical finishes of the fabric, but the finish produced by this machine is
superior quality to that of the Calendering machine
.• It is generally done on expensive fabric or on the specification of the
buyer.
DRYING RANGE
Drying range is used to dry the
fabric after scouring, dyeing and
several such processes. The
machine contains a tank where
washing of the fabric takes place
prior to dry on the seam heated
drums.
