 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Firstly we would like to thank the Almighty Allah for giving us patience to conclude our
internship program & finally this industrial attachment. Preparing the internship report
based on “Fabric Manufacturing Technology (Knitted Fabric)”, we have understood that it
is very difficult to find out the basic and fundamental aspects of Fabrics Manufacturing are
largely distant from the theoretical bookish knowledge. We express our heartfelt gratitude
to Md. Abdul Mannan Mondol (Director) for his Permission in completing internship at
Cotton Club (BD) Ltd. We are so much thankful to Md. Asaduzzaman, (General Manager)
Mondol knitwear’s Ltd. for helping us as our supervisor in the mill. Special thanks to Mr.
Aminul Islam Sharker (DGM Cotton Club (BD) Ltd.) for his cordial support during the
period of internship. And special thanks to Md. Rahat Islam (senior engineer) for his kind
help in internship period.
We are very grateful and deeply indebted to our respected teacher Md. Arifuzzaman,
Coordinator of Textile Department, City University. For his continuous support,
encouragement, suggestion, guidance and constructive criticism to get through the
industrial training. We would like to pay our liberated gratitude to our honorable
supervising teacher, Nasif Chowdhury (Senior Lecturer, Textile Department, City
University), who guided us in every sphere we marched in preparing the report. Without
his cordial supervision it would be almost impossible to prepare such a large report.
We thank the management of Cotton Club (BD) Ltd & Mondol Knitwear’s Ltd. for giving
us the opportunity to undergo Industrial Training there. Thus all in all it can be said that
without their help it would not be possible for me to prepare this internship report. So we
would like to convey thanks notation to all who directly or indirectly contributed and
inspired me time to time in preparing the report.
Our gratitude also goes to all the employees of Cotton Club (BD) Ltd & Mondol Knitwear’s
Ltd. for their sincere co- operation, support and valuable advice which they have provided
us during the training of two months.

Dyeing, Printing and Garments Departments. The factory faces good competition from
their competitors which motivates them to work harder to achieve their objectives and
goals. The organization uses the multiple departmental bases and according to the

7.9 Description of Production Process

In every mill there maintains a sequence in production processing. It is also followed in

this mill where we were in industrial attachment. The process sequences are in list below:

 Firstly knitting manager gets a production shit from the merchandiser as according
as consumer requirements then he informs or orders production officer about it.
 Production officer informs technical in charge & knows about machine in which
the production will be running.
 Technical in charge calls for leader of mechanical fitter troops, they two take
decision about machine for production considering machine condition, production
capacity, maintenance complexity etc.
 Production officer with experienced mechanical fitter adjusts required stitch length
& grey GSM for required final GSM.
 Supervisor checks daily production regularity & make operator conscious about
finishing tin due time.

Page | 53
  Operators operate machine in high attention as if there were no faults in the fabrics.
If he thinks or sure about any fabrics faults then he calls for the mechanical fitters
in duty. Mechanical fitter then fixes it if he can or he informs technical in charge.
Then he comes in spot.
 After required production & final inspection in 4- point system, they sent in dyeing
section.

6. Pin hole:

Causes:

 Due to break down or bend of the latch, pin hole may come in the fabric.

Remedies:

 Change the needle.

Page | 59
7. Fly dusts:

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.

8. Yarn contamination:

Causes:

 If yarn contains foreign fiber then it remains in the fabric even after
finishing,
 If lot, count mixing occurs.

Remedies:

 By avoiding lot, count mixing.

 Fault less spinning.

Page | 60
9. Patta:

Causes:

 Yarn count variation.

of printing. Here screen preparation process, chemical used for printing are also briefly
discussed. Different printing processes used in Cotton Club are mentioned with recipe and
process sequence. At the end of this chapter, common faults of printing are showed.

Page | 69
9.1 Textile Printing

Printing is another part of wet processing technology. Printing is carried out after pre-
treatment of fabric or after dyeing of the fabric. Printing is carried out for producing
attractive designs on fabric or other materials. The printing is described as localized dyeing
i.e., dyes or pigments are applied locally or discontinuously to produce the various
attractive designs on fabric. The main objectives of printing are the production of attractive
designs with well defined boundaries made by the artistic arrangement of a motif or motifs
in one or more colors. Printed fabrics are well protected from friction and washing if dyes
or pigments are applied properly on fiber. A strong bonding is formed between dyes and
fiber. At the initial stage of printing, this printing work was done by hand but day by day
this style is changing by utilizing different modern techniques. Now different types of critical
printing is done very easily by the bless of modern science.

9.2 Steps in Textile Printing

Textile printing is carried out in different steps, such as:

1. At first, fabrics should be pre-treated before printing.

2. Printing paste must be prepared by using printing ingredients; printing
performance depends on a well printing paste.
3. Then, making an impression of the print paste on the fabric by using any of the
printing methods, which is required.
4. After that, drying is carried out on printed fabric.
5. Steaming is carried out on printed fabric for fixing the printing paste on the
fabric.
6. At last, printing fabrics are neutralized by the after-treatment process.

Page | 70
9.3 Styles of Printing

There are three different styles of printing. Such as:

1. Direct style of printing
2. Discharge style of printing:
a) White discharge
b) Color discharge
3. Resist style of printing:
a) White resist
b) Color resist

9.4 Methods of Printing

Printing is carried out with different instruments. Different methods are use to produce
impression on fabric. Methods of printing differ on the demand of user. Also it depends on
the materials type and type of purpose of end product use. The following methods can be
applied for textile printing operation. They are as follows:

1. Block Printing

11.1Introduction

In this industrialized age, environmental pollution is a matter of great concern. surface

water pollution is one of the elements of environmental pollution. Chemical processing
industries especially textile processing industries are claimed to produce huge emuent to
discharge in our rivers. A complex mixture of hazardous chemicals both organic and
inorganic is discharged into the water bodies from all these industries, usually without
treatment. It is well known that textile mills consume large volume of water for various
processes such as sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing, printing,
finishing and washing. Due to the nature of various chemical processing of textiles, large
volumes of wastewater with numerous pollutants are discharged every day. In Bangladesh
most of the industrial units are located along the banks of the rivers and they do not use
Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP for wastewater. As a consequence, industrial units drain
effluent directly into the rivers without consideration of the environment. setup an effluent
treatment plant is mandatory for a factory today. Authority gives no permission of
electricity and gas connection to a new factory without ETP.

11.3.1 Pre-Treatment

11.3.1.1 Screening

The raw waste water (Raw Effluent) from the process of the plant would be first screened
through a manual bar screen strainer channel, where all particles with dia 5mm as well as
small pieces of the fiber and floating suspended matters like polythene paper, polythene
bags, rags and others materials removed by bar screen net. The bar screen consists of
parallel rods or bars and is also called a bar rack. These devices are used to protect
downstream equipment such as pumps, lines, valves etc. from damage and clogging by
rags and other large objects. The bar screen is cleaned manually by means of rakes. The
screening is disposed of suitably after they are de-watering. The screened clean effluent
flows by gravity to an equalization tank.

11.3.1.2 Equalization and Skimming

The raw waste water from the screen chamber is collected in the equalization tank, where it is
equalized with respect to its characteristics and homogenous flow and an uniform pollution load
as well as to make bacteria acclimatized the waste water is stored in a tank. High speed bottom
fixed aerating device which blows air through the waste at a rate about 0.1 CUF of air per gallon
of effluent. The rising air tends to coagulate the grease and oils and cause them to rise to the
surface where they can be removed by a scraper mechanism. Besides, in order to accomplish a

Page | 88
proper equalization of both varying loading and flocculating pH values. The equalization tank is
designed for hydraulic retention time of around 6 hours. A substantial part of the COD will also
be removed by the dissolved air flotation process.

11.4 Primary Treatment

11.4.1 Coagulation & Flocculation

The homogenized effluent is than pumped to a Flash mixing tank followed by a

flocculation tank. Where added coagulants like lime (Calcium Hydroxide) and Ferrous
sulfate (FeSO4) for coagulation of the total dye particles. The basic idea of adding
coagulant is to bring together all the suspended and dye particles so that they can precipitate
out in a flash mixing and coagulation mechanism. Adequate quantity of poly electrolyte
polymer solution are dosed to enhance the process of color removal by the flocculation
process

11.4.2 Precipitation and Sedimentations Tube Settler-1

The flocculated effluent is taken by natural gravity in to the tube settler-1 from flocculation
tank for precipitation of dye sand suspended particles. The flocs formed a removed in the
downstream tube settler-1 by the help of tube settler media. The effluent will further now
by overflow system to a pH correction tank where requisite quantity of acid will be dosed
and pH will be adjusted as per the requirement.

11.4.3 PH Correction

The overflow effluent from tube settler-l tank is than by gravity the connection channel for ken in
to the PH neutralization.33% HCI acid is dosed for neutralizing the pH from around 10 to 7. The
pH correction channel is designed for hydraulic retention time of around 10 minutes and is
provided with slow speed agitator for thoroughly mixing of waste with acid A pH indicator is
installed in the tank for measuring the pH (optional).

Page | 89
11.5 Secondary Treatment

11.5.1 Biological Reactor 1 & 2

The neutralized effluent is taken by gravity in to the biological treatment aeration tank for
treatment of organic matter to reduce BOD/COD aerobically. The biological reactor is
designed on extended aeration principle. The aeration is provided with fixed type surface
aerator for providing the required oxygen for the biological degradation of BOD and COD.
The air is supplied by means of the bubble diffusion.

11.5.2 Tube Sattler- 2

After aerobically treatment effluent flows by gravity to the tube settler-2, the biological
solids generated are removed from the tube settler 2 by the help tube settler media.

11.5.3 Filter Feed Pump

The effluent tube settler 2 overflow in to the pressure sand filter and activated ca from filter
feed pump to the pump. From here the disinfected effluent is pumped by means of the
pressure sand to the level switch in pressure sand filter. The pump is normally operated in
automatically with interlock the filter pump.

11.5.4 Pressure Sand Filter

The effluent is pumped to the pressure sand filter. The filtration takes place in the
downward mode. The filter is filled with a layer of graded sand media supported by a layer
of graded gravel. The suspended matter in the effluent is filtered out in this unit, the effluent
is then flown into the activated carbon filter.

Page | 90
11.5.3 Activated Carbon Filter

The filter effluent from the pressure sand filter flows into the activated carbon fiber. In this
unit to the feed flow is downward through a layer of granular activated carbon filter in
which dissolved organics in the effluent are absorbed.

11.5.4 Treated Effluent Tank

The effluent from the activated carbon filter is collected in the treated tank. From this sump
the final treated effluent is disposed off. As indicated before, this effluent is utilized for
backwashing the pressure sand filter and activated carbon filter units.

11.5.5 Sludge Treatment

The sludge generated in tube settler-1, tube settler-2 and biological reactor is taken to a
sludge sump and pumped to a sludge thickener where sludge is concentrated. The thickened
sludge from the thickener shall be pumped to sludge drying bed for de-watering. The de-
watered sludge is formed into cake by natural dry or a centrifuge. The dried cake will be
disposed in a tank. The overflow from the sludge thickener will be flow back to
equalization tank for further treatment.
