INTRODUCTION

By achieving practical knowledge it is possible to apply the theoreticalknowledge in the technical field. For any technical education, practicalexperience is almost equally necessary in association with the theoreticalknowledge. The industrial attachment is the most effective process of achievingthe practical experience. It provides us sufficient practical knowledge aboutproduction management, productivity, evaluation, work study, efficiency,industrial management, production planning & control, production cost analysis,inventory control, purchasing, utilities and Maintenance of machinery and theiroperation technique etc.

Industrial attachment is an essential part of four years B.Sc. in Textiletechnology course of College Of Textile Technology under University of Dhaka.We had the opportunity to perform the industrial attachment with NORTHERNFASHION LTD. During 42 days long attachment, we studied the man, machine,material aspects of the circular knitting section, quality control section, planningsection, grey fabric inspection, finished fabric inspection, dyeing & finishingsection, merchandising section of the mill. We also had a short visit in thegarments section of the factory. We also took a study tour in Padmaknitting,Viellatex & Opex Group with my supervising officer of the mill.According to our studies there we have prepared the following report and wouldlike to present.

CIRCULAR KNITTING MACHINE

Circular knitting m/cs are widely used through out the knitting industry to producefabric. This m/c can be built in almost any reasonable diameter and the small diameter of upto five, which are used for wear.

Machine for outerwear and under wear may vary from 12 inch to 60 inch in diameteraccording to manufactures requirement. This m/c can be used either as fabric or for makinggarments completely with fancy stitch. Latch needles are commonly employed in all moderncircular m/c because of their simple action and also their ability to process more types ofyarns.

Plain circular m/c uses only one sets of needles, circular rib m/c uses two sets ofneedles i, e, Cylinder needle and Dial needle, the interlock circular knitting m/c also uses twosets of needles by needles are long and short respectively for both dial and cylinder, that iswhy multiple design and thick fabric can be produce with that m/c. That m/c is also calleddouble Jersey m/c.

M/c. Gauge – needle/inch (varies according to diameter)Needle Type – LatchNeedle bed type – Single cylinder, Double cylinder, Cylinder &

Dial, long or short needles for cylinder and dial.Two principle operation exist:

1. English system – Where the cams and yarns strands revolve by needle andfabric take down is stationary.

2 American system – Where the needles and fabric take down revolves bycams and yarn strands are stationary.

DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTION PROCESS(KNITTING SECTION):

In every mill, there maintains a sequence in production processing.It is also followed in this mill where I was in industrial attachment. The processsequences are in list below:

1) Firstly, knitting manager gets a production sheet from merchandisers asaccordance as consumer requirements. Then he informs or orders senior productionofficer about it.

2) Senior production officer informs technical in charge and knows aboutm/c in which the production will be running.

3) Technical in charge calls for leader of mechanical fitter troops, they twotake decision about m/c for production considering m/c condition, productioncapacity, maintenance complexity etc.

4) Production officer with experienced mechanical fitter adjusts requiredstitch length and grey GSM (gram per square meter) for required final GSM.

5) Supervisor check daily production regularity and make operatorsconscious about finishing in due time.

6) Operators operate machine in highly attention as if there were no faultsin the fabrics. If he is sure about any fabric fault, then he call for mechanical fitter induty. Mechanical fitter then fixes it if he can or he informs technical in-charge. Hethen comes in spot.

7) After required production and final inspection in 4-point system, they aresent in dyeing section

(Quality assurance system)

Page 32: Industrial  attachment  of northern fashion

32

QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM:

All rolls are kept in front of the inspection m/c time to time and are inspected overthe grey inspection m/c visually in a pre-set speed against light. For any major or minor faultslike thick-thin, barre marks, fall out, contamination, fly, holes, oil lines, needle lines, slubs,etc are recorded in grey inspection report to classify the fabric based on the four point system.

Collar & cuff are inspected visually under light box, any major & minor faultycollar/cuff like having wrong ply, hole, needle lines, slubs, wrong design, first line problemetc properly counted and recorded.

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURE:Based on the sequence of grey inspection, the inspector serially numbers each roll

ensuring that all rolls having the knit card with complete details of the roll.

1) After production of fabric rolls of 8 to 25 kg, m/c operators cut them from thecloth or batch roller and they are carried to inspection section by the helpers.

2) Almost four inspection workers are for every shift to check the fabric rolls. Forany kind of fault they are checked thoroughly. Skilled inspectors find them and indicate themby the scissors in some cases.

3) Quality is specified on the basis of 4-points system. Here is the point distributionfor different kinds fault in this system: -

CHAPTER-VII

(Maintenance)

Page 36: Industrial  attachment  of northern fashion

36

MAINTENANCE:

Maintenance of machineries is very important for any type of industries and it is amust for a knit composite mill. All machines and machines parts of knitting, dyeing andgarments are maintained with extreme care. Because production quality and quantity, bothdepends on the maintenance with regularity. NORTHERN FASHIONLTD lead maintenancewith a troop of skilled mechanical fitters.

MAINTENANCE OF MACHINERY:In the knitting floor of NCL all circular machine are maintained regularly and as

necessity requirements. Here, different type of maintenance of machinery, which is taken,different time on the machineries.

ROUTINE:1) Daily Maintenance: Every machine is taken maintenance daily by the

operators during production. When the operator starts a production after handing over fromprevious shift operator, he takes a routine maintenance on the machine. He cleans themachine, assures yarn is fed to all needles, cleans the eye pot of feeder, memminger, signallamp sensor etc. Before a while of a roll cut from batch or cloth roller, operator cleansneedles, cylinder base plate etc. All around of the machine are kept neat and clean as if thereis no dirt with yarn in the fabric.

2) Schedule/Routine Maintenance: Every machine has a schedule of maintenanceof 10 or 15 days. According to date, schedule maintenance is taken on the machines.Operators are informed about the time of maintenance. After pre-estimated production, theyhand over the machine to the fitters. Thus, fitters assure all machines are OK. For any time.

3) Break down maintenance: When product quality hampered and to completeproduction in due time break down maintenance is taken. There are many faults seen in thefabric during production due to needle, sinker, take down roller etc. Then operators inform themechanical fitters and they fix it.

4) Restorative maintenance: Restorative maintenance is taken for design changeor new design development. According to advice or order of production officer, a machine isfixed for new design and mechanical fitters rearrange cam and needle system.

Planned and preventive maintenance are not taken on the machineries in this mill.MAINTENANCE OF ‘CIRCULAR KNITTING M/C’:

Lubrication:Since the life of the m/c and its correct working depend to a large extend adequate

and proper lubrication. It is recommended that the instructions given in the lubrication chartsbe followed conscientiously. The Company can not be need responsible for faults that arisefrom wrong or inadequate lubrication.

Page 37: Industrial  attachment  of northern fashion

37

Oiling Needles & Jacks:Too much oil is preferable to too little. Dark vertical lines in the fabric originate not

from excessive oiling b but from too mach friction between needle and jacks and the trickwalls on account of lack of oil. Should dark vertical lines makes their appearance isrecommended that the appropriates m/c parts be flooded with oil. This will cause heavysoiling or ht fabrics but the trouble will disappear quickly correct quantity of oil then can beapplied. The supply of oil should be reduced if light oil striper appears on the fabric.

The Cleaning of Needle & Jacks:Thin oil is most suitable for this work, about one point heated to a temperature not

exceeding 160ºF poured into the oiling position of the cylinder & dial cam races & in theheads of the needles while the m/c is running. The fabric will found to be cleaned again afterfew yards have been knitted. How often cleaning is necessary will depend upon what kind ofyarn is being used. Synthetic yarn cleaning is taken place at lest monthly, yarn with absorbentproperties is being knitted at same time.

General Cleaning Schedule:Long m/c life, maximum output & trouble free running depend upon proper care

and maintenance. A general overhaul should take place annually when single shifts areworked & correspondingly at more frequent interval. When extra shifts are worked. Theoverhaul involves removal of all cam section and removal of needles and jacks from theirtricks, so tat the tricks should be thoroughly the cleaned. Before parts are replaced they shouldbe adequately lubricated.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:

1) For there is any mechanical fault of machine, which is responsible forproduction hamper, operator informs mechanical fitters in duty. Mechanical fitters come andobserve the problem firstly, and then they begin to fix it.

2) If mechanical fitters were unable to fix it, then they inform technical in-charge,he then comes in spot and fixes it.

3) For there is any electrical problem of machine or serious founding mechanicalproblem, mechanical and electrical department are informed, they come and fix the problem.They commence at work after informing of knitting manager. There are two mechanicalengineers in the department.

4) For restorative maintenance, senior production officer orders mechanicalfitters to fit required machine for cam and needle arrangement and other necessaryrequirements in case of new design development.

Repair, maintenance and setting and replacement of different parts oflockstitch machine:

Apparatus:1. Flat screw driver2. Star screw driver3. Hammer4. Pliers5. Lubricating oil6. Grease

Standard atmospheric condition:Temperature………………28cRelative humidity………..62%

Procedure: The repair, maintenance, setting and replacement procedure are described below:-

1. Repair: Repair work is carried out when a component requires slight modification.To carry out such job the machine needs to be switched off first. The componentunder repair is then screwed off by suitable apparatus. After repairing, the part isfixed to its designated place and hence its correctness is measured by running themachine. In a lockstitch machine bobbin case, bobbin, check spring, feed dog.Motor belt etc can undergo repair job.

a. Maintenance: Maintenance can be of different types. But following types areimportant in this aspect.

b. Routine maintenance: lubrication and regular inspection are the constituent ofroutine maintenance. Lubrication ensures long life and safe working of all theequipment. Inspection tries to detect faults in equipment so that repairs andreplacement may be under taken at the right time.

c. Scheduled maintenance: this type of maintenance provides for inspection,overhaul lubrication and servicing of the machine, cleaning of all components isnormally done in this manner. It involves opening of the machine into its smallestcomponent and carry out lubrication.

2. Setting: the setting of the lockstitch machine is of immense importance. Followingsetting points need to be ensured before running the machine.

Page 42: Industrial  attachment  of northern fashion

42

a. Stitch density controller: It controls the no of stitch per inch. Before starting themachine, stitch per inch is determined by rotating the knob and fixing it at thedesired position.

b. Motor: Motor rpm depicts the speed of the machine. The rpm is controlled bytightening or looseness the belt over machine & motor pulley.

c. Needle: needle undergoes accurate setting to ensure proper sewing. Needle isattached by means of a screw which needs to be tightened enough to produce easysewing. Again the needle size is also important from fabric point of view.

d. Pressure foot: The type of pressure foot to be used & its proper setting isimportant which is ensured by proper attachment with the motor through machinepulley.

e. Feed dog: It is often found that due to random working the feed dog is subjected tobe loose which may cause accident also. Thus the feed dog must be set properlywith the screw.

3. Replacement: The replacement is revealed when the retention of equipment is nomore remain an economical proposition. A replacement is affected when theequipment is subjected to complete breakage which cannot be used even after repairor the component has become so obsolete that affects production or it has crossedits expire date. Replacement can be affected to any components of the machine atany time. In lockstitch machine components like needle, pressure foot, feed dog etcundergo frequent replacement.

Precaution: Following precautions must be taken when repair, setting maintenance is carriedout in the lockstitch machine.

1. All repair & maintenance work must be carried out by switching off themachine.

2. Right tools should be used at right place.3. Skilled personnel should be involved for specialized job.4. Careful handling of all the components is necessary.5. The components should not be too tight or too loose.

Remarks: The experiment has provided us wide idea regarding the repair, maintenance,setting & replacement of different components of lockstitch machine & circular knitting m/c.It has given us a basic knowledge on machine maintenance as a whole. It has also oriented uswith different machine tools & their use those are required for the said job. The gatheredknowledge will indeed help us in our practical life.

CHAPTER-VIII

(UTILITY SERVICES)

Page 45: Industrial  attachment  of northern fashion

45

UTILITY FACILITIES AVAILABLE:

For smooth functioning of any production unit, uninterrupted andrequired utility services are indispensable. Success of any industry largely dependson this factor. Any irregularity or lack in the required utility services immediatelyresults in unexpected halt of the production process. An Industry needs variousutilities depending on its manufacturing process.

In NCL the major utilities are available-

- Power (Electricity)- Water- Natural gas- Compressed air- Steam- ETP

SOURCES OF UTILITIES:The main utility, which is used by NCL, is natural gas. From

natural gas generator produce electricity. From natural gas and electricity inassociation with mechanical and electrical apparatus, NCL produce other utilitieslike water, steam, compressed air etc.

CAPACITY AND OTHER TECHNICAL DETAILS:

Power (Electricity):Generator house is the main power producing plants of NCL

There are one generator in generator house.

Generator -Type: gas generatorBrand name: CaterpillarOrigin: USA

Frequency: 50 Hz

Voltage: 400 V

STEAM:Boiler produces the required steam. There is one boiler in NFL

Boiler specification:

Brand name: Industrial boiler LtdCapacity: 8ton / hrBlower motor: 25 HP

Page 46: Industrial  attachment  of northern fashion

46

Water supply for the boiler:Water required for steam production is supplied by deep tube well.

Pretreatment of the boiler water:Boiler feed water needs special standard. Any deviation from the

required standard may result in scale formation, which eventually reduces theefficiency of the boiler. This ultimately affects the cost of steam generation andmakes the production cost high. To maintain the required standard of the water,there should be some means to pretreat the boiler feed water. To protect scaleformation of boiler, NELCO is used as chemical in water feed tank. 200 gm NELCOis injected per 12 hrs. In NCL there are water softeners that act before the waterenters the boiler.

.No. Of the softener :

There is one water softener to pretreat the boiler feed water.

COMPRESSED AIR:The compressed air is supplied from air compressor. There are one-air

compressors in NCL.

Compressor -Brand name Hitachi Screw CompressorOrigin: JapanModel no. OSP-55S5 ARIMaximum working pressure: 15 barAverage working pressure: 6.5-7.5 barYear of construction: 2006

WATER:The water source NCL is deep tube well.

Water treatment plant: There is no eater treatment plant in NCL.

GAS:The source of gas is government agency. Gas is required mainly for

generation of electricity, boiler to produce steam, the burners of heat setting m / c.As NCL generates their own electricity, the gas consumption is quite high. The gasconsumption is 250-350 m³ / hr.

COST OF DIFFERENT UTILITIES:

Electricity cost:REB =3.8 TK / KW-HR

Page 47: Industrial  attachment  of northern fashion

47

Gas generator = 2.70 TK / KW-HRDiesel generator = 6.50 TK / KW-HR

Gas cost:4.94 Tk/m³ for boiler3.66 Tk/m³ for generator4.5 Tk/m³ for domestic purpose

Steam cost:4.30 Tk per kg fabric.

REMARKS:For smooth running of factory main utilities like gas, electricity or

steam is very essential. Sometimes gas pressure is low than required pressure. Whenthe gas pressure is low, then diesel generator run. Government should have to ensureproper gas supply for Industrial purpose.

CHAPTER -X

(COST ANALYSIS)

Page 51: Industrial  attachment  of northern fashion

51

INTRODUCTION:Costing is a process by which the setting price of a product is calculated. It is a

very important task for a factory, which runs for business purposes.And it is also strictly followed in the NCL. Costing of the products considering the rawmaterials expenditure, salary and wages of officers and workers, distributions andadvertisement expenses etc. all direct and indirect expenses is done in this factory. It isdetermined by a troop of accountants with advice and consultancy of executive director.

PRICE OF THE PRODUCT:Generally price of product is determined by the required profit adding to the total

expenses. So,

Price of products= (Direct expenses + Indirect expenses + FactoryOverhead) + Required profit

PRICE RANGE OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS:T-Shirt = $0.75 - $4.50 /PcsPolo Shirt =$2.00 - $6.50 /PcsKids Wear ==$0.75- $2.15 /Pcs
