Dyeing There are two main types of silk fabrics. 1.

Yarn-dyed or dyed-woven, like taffeta, duchess satin and many pattern-wo ven fabrics. 2. Piece-dyed fabrics, which is carried out after weaving, like crepes, twi lls, etc. The dyeing process gives the silk different shades.

Dyeing department Arvind Mills has a grill section that was loaded with 12 beams of yarn, though l atest machinery could support even 16 of them. They are also known as warping be ams and their design depends upon the texture and construction of fabric e.g. we ight, length etc. Each beam consist of 350-400 ends and 12 such beams are joined together to form one at last with 4000-4800 ends which is used in the weaving process. Four types of dyeing processes are used in Arvind mills namely: 1. Indigo dyeing 2. SBIT-sulphur bottoming indigo topping 3. IBST-indigo bottoming sulphur topping 4. Sulphur dyeing All the above processes differ in the process of loading on the fabric. The dyeing process in a flow chart is explained below.

Pre-wetting PWA | W.B.1 (W.B.-Washing box) | Dye box (6 shades are used) | W.B.2 | Sulphur | W.B.3 | Pre dryer | Saw box (Sizing) | Post dryer | Compromising (speed is increased) | H/S In Dying Process machinery they are used this is a World largest dying machine. This is 50 rope/ball machine, Means one time 50 rope are dying. And other 2nd dying machine are also they have use capacity of this 2nd Dyeing m achine is 10 rope/ball in one operation time. 800 mtr space in this process. 13 workers are work in this process, in this 13, only 1 and 2 are handle the hol e machine and other are work in rope warping purpose. Capacity 110 mtr rope per day. Price of this machine is 19 lacks. In this machine and Dyeing process 19 tanks. Ropes are go to in all the tanks an

d dyeing. 1st tank- in this tank Sulphuring combinations colure are use. And they work in 85o Temperature. 2nd, 3rd and 4th tank they are use only for washing purpose, and in this tank on ly use water. This is a pre-washing process. After this process completion colur e are use and Different-different Dyeing purpose. Tank 5th and 6th are use only for Black Colure Dyeing. This tank are use and Per sonalisation purpose means only for Black colure Dyeing Purpose they are use thi s two tank. Tank 8th is a highest capacity tank in this process. In this tank use 7000 litte r only for Box Dying process. In this tank indigo dyeing are use. 14th tank also use Indigo fix box sulphuring colure. After this tank Dyeing process are complete. And rope are go to the next step fo r washing prupore , means rope are go to the water tanks are extra unuseful dyei ng are remove. In 15th tank they use sulphured so remove the unuseful and unpick Dyeing . 16th, 17th and 18th they use only pour Hot water and washing purpose, this is a port wash process. In 19th tank they use softer, so row from use in indigo, sulphur, they reopen ro pe in strict form. In this running processes under combination of per 15 rope 1 rope is go in to th e under lap spectra photo system machine ( this system used in purpose of the Qu ality checking process , this system connect to the information system departmen t and Quality control department so they easy handle to the any quality related difficulties) in Testing and checking purpose Only one limitation of the machine and the process is this machine only 1 time s top 5 lacks loss only 1 time stops this process. So company panning to handle th is problem they create a plan in related to the power plant and other power rela ted some solution are provided.

Lee Wrangler . Weaving department The weaving department has 203 weaving machines en Toto, of the make ZAX and 209 i, the latter being an older version. The machines are of the company TSUDAKOMA, a Japanese concern as opposed to the spinning department where the machines wer e of German companies. The ZAX machines work at 750 rpm whereas 209i model machi nes work at 650 rpm. Together they churn out a lac m2 of cloth a day. In total t he department has 159 ZAX machines and 44 209i. There happen to be 261 labourers working in 4 shifts in the department with 20 staff members i.e. 5 in each shif t, out of whom there is one supervisor for each shift. A beam card keeps all the records of what is being put on the machine and under whom it is supervised. Inputs used for the weaving departments can vary from: 1. OE- open end 2. ER- even ring 3. UR- uneven ring Lycra is used to increase the elasticity of the fiber. Filament is used in the f iber which is exported to countries where the level of sweating is lower as comp ared to Indian condition where majorly cotton is used for the same reason. The weaving department has the distinction of being the largest at Arvind Mills and exports close to 95% of its manufactured fabric. Discussing the denim fabric , the core competence of AM, original denim is composed of 100% cotton but with a view to bring in variations to the material in consonance with the emerging tr ends in the market, various natural fibers like linen and synthetic fibers like filament, lycra, polyester are added to cotton. While weaving such mixed fabric, the core is made of the addend and original cotton is wound around it. Yarn wov en vertically is called warp while that woven laterally is termed as weft. For w eaving purposes a cotton count ranging from 5 to 20 is generally used.
