Machine manufacturers to get quality parts. The mill replaces capital
machines on regular basis with the latest technology.
Quality Control Measures:
Raw material inspection will be carried out on Uster HVI Spectrum and
Uster Afis Pro -2 for 2.5% SL, uniformity, MIC, Strength, Short fiber
content % and neps/grm. Bale management system is followed for
consistent superior yarn quality, and for this, cotton stock required
for minimum 5 6 months is maintained. Carding and combing process
optimized for NRE of 75% to 85% and 65% to 70% respectively. RIETER D35
/D40 draw frames are maintained for a% less than 0.50. In ring frame
breakages are maintained below 5 to 6 breaks per 100 spindle hour. In
autoconer utmost care is taken for achieving 85% splice strength with
defect-free packages. Apart from in process inspection system, mill has
adopted very stringent final inspection procedure before dispatching
yarn to its customers.

main canal. The canal flows for 7 to 8 months in a year. Typically the
canal is opened in Aug/Sep and closed by end April. The first two
projects of 0.8 MW and 1.6 MW were commissioned in Jan 2002. We have
successfully commissioned the third hydro electric plant of 1.6 MW
capacities on 27th March 2011. All the generators produce electricity
at 6.6 KV voltage level. The generated voltage is enhanced to 33 KV by
a power transformer and fed to the state electricity grid. The hydel
power generation solely dependent on the canal water flow. The 0.8 MW
hydro electric projects is financed by IREDA-, New Delhi and remaining
two Nos. of 1.6 MW hydro electric projects are financed by Andhra Bank.
We have good electrical and mechanical engineering team at the hydro
electric plants. They ensure the availability of plant by more than 98%
when water is flowing in the canal. Due to lack of rain in encashment
areas of Krishna river during the financial year 2012-13 we have
generated only 7,55,830 Units. Out of the generation 70% of the units
are wheeled and consumed in spinning mill and 30% of the units are sold
to AP Transco.
E) WEAVING UNIT:
The Company had commenced the civil work for the 250 Looms Project at

loom working width is 190 cm. and it has 800mm & 1000mm beam flanges.
The machine will have very sturdy side frames and back rest systems to
match with our requirements for producing bottom weight and yam dyed
shirting. Picanol Omni plus Summum is the most advance loom with sumo
motor and ELSY motion, cramming motion, multiple weft insertion and
Lycra Stretch Systems. SUMO motor is the pattent righted for Picanol,
since the sumo motor will work with software control to increase and
decrease the RPM within a fraction of a minute. Whereas the old system
stake minimum half an hour to reduce or increase the speed changing the
pulleys. ELSY motion is the electronic selvedge motion with separate
control of selvedge of ends to bring more designs in selvedge alone.
Picanol is the only loom in the world which will have this system
cramming motion is the most advanced technology to control the take up
motion to bring the exclusive design in weft way. This Summum brand is
running one more special advantage in filling cutter for multi- color
weft control facility. This will work in different timings of weft
filling according to the color and count varieties. The machine works
without belt drive to ensure the zero defects in the fabric. Where the
all other brands will have belt drive only.
2. PICANOL OPTIMAX RAPIER LOOMS (42 no''s)
This is the most modernized Belgium made loom with 20 shaft dobby made
by Staubli-Swiss. This machine is more suitable rapier technology to
produce endless colors in wrap way and 8 colors in weft way. 20 shaft
dobby motions is suitable for any critical dobby yarn dyed shirting
fabrics. The rapier technology with flexible drive system to ensure the
zero breaks down and to increase the utilization. Picanol optimax
rapier looms are most sophisticated looms of rapier weft insertion
followed by their earlier types of Picanol, GTM, GTX, GTMAS, GAMMA and
GAMMAX. This machine is also having Sumo motor, ELSY selvedge crank
motion, multiple weft insertion and so many otherfacilities like touch
screen micro software to against the settings according to the
qualities. The machine has three set cards to transfer the settings
from one loom to another loom and preserve the settings exclusively.
The loom installed RPM is 650. All dobby weave fabrics as well normal

is having special feature of crank to non-plain fabric separately, also
we have 7 shafts and 1681 type Staubli cam box attachment to run
various weave designs like twill, drill, sateen, matt & oxford etc.
this is the fault free loom to produce zero defect fabric with minimum
maintenance cost and maximum utilization. The Toyota Air jet has
earlier models like JAT 610 & JAT 710. This model JAT 810 is more
beneficial for air consumption control by their "P" monitor attachment.
Also the machine has very friendly software for monitoring the loom
mechanical setting and fabric settings. The machine has more facilities
to arrest the fabric damages like bumping mark, starting mark, etc. the
special Lycra stretch system will be suitable for producing Lycra weft
fabric which is most popular in the market.
D) DYEING UNIT:
The Company had taken up dying of cotton Yarn 5000 kgs per day
production. The project is being implemented at cost of Rs. 12.5 crores
and Bank of Baroda is financing Rs.9.90 crores by means of term loan.
1. PROJECT CAPACITY/EQUIPMENT
DYEING 11 MACHINES FROM 3 KGS TO 500 KGS/MACHINE
The project is catering to yarn dyed shirting in weaving and will
require small to large quantities of dyed yarn in various shades,
depending upon the customer order. We have facility to run the dyeing
vessel from 100% to 50% capacity with out change in MCR ration with air
pad technology.
Each machine has 2 carriers are in the machine & second ready for next
loading. Each carrier has several spindles and maximum of 10 cones
/spindle can be loaded based on the machine capacity. We have scheduled
dyeing Machines; with a capacity of 2110 kgs /load. Based on an average
of light/medium, dark shades & bleach, we will be able to dye 2.5
lots/day of 24 hours. Thus the maximum capacity of plant of 5275 kgs.
2. HYDRO EXTRACTOR-DETTIN-ITALY
Cotton after wet dyeing usually has moisture and has to be squeezed or
extracted by centrifugal rotation of the material. Earlier technology
was to dump all cones into a perforated basket and rotate at high
speed, thus removing around 50 % moisture and retaining 50% to be dried
on the radio frequency drier. The cones are loaded onto individual
cone spindles and each cone rotates at high speed on its own axis, thus
achieving same as earlier results, but without de-shaping the cones, as
it is not manually handled. The capacity of BERTA 36 model matches the
dyeing capacity of 275 kgs/hr. The machine operates continuously.
3. RADIO FREQUENCY DRYING.STALLAM
Subsequent to dyeing and extraction on dyeing machine, the moisture
content is to be brought down from 50% to 10% and we need to dry the
yarns. Earlier drying was done by passing steam through the cheeses,
which was very expensive and time consuming. We have adopted the latest
Radio Frequency system, wherein the drying is carried out by acting
only on moisture at a particular frequency. Although this consumes high
power,{105 Kw] ,the yam strength does not reduce as in older technology
and the process is continuous and instantaneous.We have gone for the
STALLAM R.F.DRIER FROM EUROPE which has various safety features. The
capacity is matching our dyeing requirement of 275 kgs/hour.
4. AUTO DYE WEIGH & AUTO LIQUID CHEMICAL DISPENSING [ ELLIAR AUTO
LIQUID DISPENSING]
Until recently all dyes and chemicals were manually weighed, prepared
and dispensed. This manual activity gave scope for errors and thus
added one more variable for shade differences between lots. Over last
few years there has been lot of work on auto dispensing, and it has
been observed that in addition to reducing costly errors in weighing
.there is atleast 10 to 15% savings in chemicals by avoiding spilling
and excess use due to approximations. Also the auto system is connected
to online system .which indicates real time , stock, consumption,
re-order levels highlighting etc reducing clerical work and consequent
errors. By going for bulk dispensing we also save in getting chemicals
in larger containers instead of smaller cans manually.
The bulk auto dispensing is mainly meant for savings, less manual
intervention apart from accuracy. In case of laboratory auto dispensing
tecnorama mentioned separately in this write it is mainly for accuracy
at very low scale levels of few millilitres.
We also have gone for semi auto dye weighing wherein the actual
weighing of dyes is done automatically and errors avoided by means of
bar-coding of dye drums and real time stock maintenance.
However we need to dispense the the dyes after dissolving & preparation
manually into the individual dye machines.
5. DYED CONE REWINDING
Subsequent to the R.F. Drying ,the yarn cones are unloaded, weighed,
checked for evenness of dyeing are rewound as soft packages on
Schlafhorst auto-coners ,so that it is ready for warping or for weft
insertion in weaving section. We need around 5 machines of 60 spindles
each for our capacity and need segregation of each machine, to avoid
fluff contamination of one shade into the other. It is helpful if
humidification air changes are provided ,so that fluff is going into
the return trench and not flying around in the winding area.
6. LABORATORY QUALITY CONTROL
Subsequent to dyeing .drying, we need to check various parameters for
fastness of dyeing. We need to carry out following checks.
a. WASH FASTNESS TESTS
Here we simulate the domestic washing in a wash tester wherein the
volume of water, quantity of soap used, temperature of washing etc are
controlled based on the level of fastness required. The dyed sample is
sandwiched between two scoured white standard on both sides, and after
washing the comparison of staining of the adjacent whites is assessed
by a standard GREY SCALE and rating of fastness given pass/fail
b. RUBBING OR CROCKING TEST
Here the dyed sample is rubbed into a white standard fabric 20 times
with controlled pressure and the staining on the adjacent white is
assessed and rated. The same fastness can be done as dry rub fastness
and wet rub fastness. All tests are simulating extreme conditions of
customer use and are constantly upgraded based on new end user
requirements.
c. PERSPIRATION FASTNESS
We use a perspirometer .wherein the fastness to human perspiration is
tested by using certain chemicals which match the perspiration
properties synthetically. There are acid and alkaline perspiration
chemicals .Based on the diet of the person [vegetarian or otherwise]
and also ethnicity of the people .there are alkaline or acidic
perspiration. Both are tested in all cases and rated.
d. LIGHT FASTNESS
It is common that certain shades fade to sunlight exposure than others.
This is tested by simulating sunlight over long periods by Xenon lamps
of high energy and the test takes 4 to 8 hours but gives effect of
several days of light exposure through sunlight.
The light fastness is purely dependant on type of dyes used, and we
will select suitable dyes of high light fastness. Once selection is
done ,there is no need to test each time. It is not process related.
Generally light shades have less fastness compared to darker shades and
thus tests are done at various depth levels.
7. SHADE MATCHING EQUIPMENT IN LABORATORY.
a. INFRA RED DYEING OF 5gm to 20 gm SAMPLES
Before going for bulk dyeing ,there is a lot of home-work done at the
Laboratory stage. Afew decades back dyeing was considered as a skill
and experience was very critical to the results. However with advent of
technology and electronics, robotics etc. most of the manual functions
like weighing dyes / chemicals .dissolving the same .controlling of dye
process temperature, time of treatment etc. Thus many of the manual
errors have been eliminated. However despite all this experience and
systems play a very important part in achieving high quality dyeing
results. We still cannot control many parameters within the dyeing
process .especially selection of dyes, chemicals, compatibility,
keeping in mind the cost and time of process.
The first step before bulk dyeing is to set up a recipe of dyes & a
process sequence. For this we start with dyeing 5 gm hanks in a pot on
INFRA RED DYEING LAB MACHINE. Here we add dyes in certain proportions
based on base data and experience, and have to carry out several
iterations to come close to customers target shade. Initially it takes
more effort and as we build up more recipe we will reduce the
iterations, since we can bank upon past lab data.
b. COMPUTER COLOR MATCHING.
During last few decades'' lot of work has been done on measuring color
in the visible regions of human eye. This has enabled to quantify color
based on some mathematical values , considering human eye, Light source
under which it is measured and the color of target. Color is described
in terms of hue[tone] depth [darker/lighter] and chroma[
brightness/dullness] With these broad parameters color is measured and
described by delta H,L AND C[ difference in hue, depth and brightness]
The cumulative value is described as DELTA E OR COLOR DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN STANDARD AND SAMPLE DYED. Based on the calibrations of various
dyes being used ,the COLOR MATCHING COMPUTER predicts various recipe
purely mathematically, we then fix limits of metamarism, compatibility
of dyes fastness characteristics etc and the zero in to a few
practicable recipe and carry out 5 gm samples on IR DYEING in lab. We
then also get corrected recipe of the samples. This if used in
conjunction with experience, can reduce the iterations needed for
reaching a target shade. The same computer can be also used for bulk
dyed lots and is a very helpful tool for the dyer to reduce errors and
time of process. It is generally observed that if system is used
diligently substantial savings in dyes is possible compared to manual
predictions.
c. AUTO WEIGHING .SOLUTION MAKER, DISPENSING.AND DYEING
TECNORAMA-ITALY
Great efforts are made in last few decades to achieve perfection in the
laboratory ,so that we can achieve near perfection in bulk dyeing. At
present the TECNORAMA SYSTEM has succeeded in carrying out all the
manual functions except loading and unloading the samples. Thus a good
number of error possibilities are minimized in laboratory. As seen in
INFRA RED DYEING of 5 gm sample the flow characteristics are different
from a package or cone. Also a 5 gm Sample is too small to be scaled up
to 25 kgs or higher bulk lots. As such it becomes essential that we
carry out ''100-200 gm cone samples, which exactly simulates the
thermodynamic flow characteristics of bulk package dyeing with IN to
OUT and OUT to IN FLOW with fixed trimmings of interchange. Thus on
TECNORAMA , we can get much closer results and can then directly
transfer the recipe and process to 25 kg or 50 kg machines. Further
tuning can be done on bigger machines based on this.
8. EFFLUENT TREATMENT OF DYED LIQOURS.
This is an area of great concern for maintaining a proper environment
and avoid pollution of the environment around us. During the last few
decades ,the laws on pollution have been less stringent ,and even so
the various dyeing units have flouted these norms and caused immense
damage to the water to the water table below ground by drawing of
excess ground water have increased the harmful parameters. Off late,
this has led to the Pollution Authorities enforcing more stringent
norms. Earlier it was common that part of the less harmful portion of
effluent was allowed for ground discharge within the units premises for
cultivation after some minor chemical treatment. However now they have
introduced ZLD [ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE] which means no water is allowed
to be discharged into ground even after treatment. In other words we
have to excessively treat the effluent ,such that it is almost like
fresh water and fit to be reused into process again. Thus our drawing
of ground water is hardly required maintaining the ground table and
quality of sources.
We have now decided to treat 180 m3/day partially [biological
treatment, filtration] and use for our plantations at site. The
remaining HTDS effluent [high total dissolved solids] stream of 150
m3/day will be further treated by ultra-filtration, reverse osmosis -2
stages, nano-filtration etc to basically recover good water at each of
these stages and bring down the water to the bare minimum for the very
expensive multistage evaporation [MEE].Thus from 150 m3/day we narrow
down to only 20 m3/day for evaporation. After lot of deliberations
with some of the best Italian and Indian effluent plant suppliers we
finally decided that in terms of technology, quality of instruments and
components, experience with Indian norms and conditions, CONFIDENT
ENGINEERING PVT LTD. [CEPL] on a total turnkey basis to be completed in
6 months including civil works. They are also responsible for achieving
the final results as per the norms of APPCB. Also we have entered into
a operations/maintenance contract for 5 years, so that we can
concentrate on the core production area of dyeing and avoid divided
attention.
9. MULTI-STAGE EVAPORATOR
As mentioned earlier subsequent to reducing the effluent volume to 20
m3/day, we need to evaporate the same by going through 3 stages of
evaporation. Since this is a high steam consuming process, we have gone
for a MEE from KETAV CONSULTANTS, wherein we use fresh steam only at
first stage evaporation and reuse the steam. Additionally we have
installed TVR [THERMO VAPOUR RECOMPRESSOR] wherein by means of venturi
the steam pressure is enhanced and saves the consumption. We have gone
for total automation and PLC to reduce labour and manual intervention.
We are also going for turnkey basis, so that the execution will be
taken care by suppliers.
After evaporation, we will be able to recover 96 % of fresh water for
process and 2 m3/day of salt slurry passes through a Pusher Centrifugal
[mechanical extraction] which finally gives us salt with only 10 %
moisture, to be collected and disposed off through Ramky who are
designated effluent waste management concern.
The MEE is located between boiler and ETP so that we minimize the
pipelines and to enable handling all aspects economically.
