1.1. Introduction:
Every one knows that learning is the best part of thinking possibility. In human life
education is the primary source of learning process. We need to learn for particular points
of theoretical parts it should be some lack of looking this function such a fabric making on
a circular machine and dyeing and finishing process in practical. It should be looking and
knows about the functions, running of this machine, Uses material, and manufacturing
materials. It must be need for good practical knowledge and proper handling of the
machine.
Internship is making this opportunity. Because we have known theoretical knowledge but
we have lack of industrial knowledge. It has to fill up for industrial attachment. N.A.Z
Bangladesh Ltd. has getting this opportunity for me.
NAZ Bangladesh Ltd is a knit composite industry. It is a 100% export oriented industry in
Bangladesh. The factory is making about knitting, knit dyeing & finishing and knit
garments. Due to the change in environment, the textile sector is facing a great challenge.
But NAZ BD Ltd fully prepared to face this situation. The goal of NAZ BD Ltd is to
become the preferred partner for sourcing high quality fabrics and clothing from
Bangladesh. N.A.Z has highly develop advanced technology and an emphasis on
developing local human resources, the Textile Division has the potential to make an
important contribution to the nation's growing ready made garments export sector.
The rational behind the existing structure and future expansion of the Textile & fiber
Division is to capture value-added at each stage of the textile manufacturing process.
Despite Bangladesh's lack of indigenous cotton production capability, N.A.Z. has
leveraged Bangladesh's labor cost advantage and export competitiveness to the maximum.
This factory is fully complained and very much concern about the labor law and
compliance. This factory also concerned about environmental issue as they have well
established Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP). In NAZ Bangladesh Ltd., I have completed 2
months (8 weeks) long industrial training in knitting, dyeing, finishing and garments.
During the training period we faced a lot of technical problem, which we solve by
consulting with the related persons. Whatever knowledge we have gain during my training
period, it will help us to build up our career as a Textile Technologist.

Knocking over
Sinker:
This is secondary primary knitting element. It is a thin metal plate with an individual and
collective action approximate at right angles from the hook side between adjoining needles.
Function of sinker:
It may one or more of the following functions dependent upon the machines knitting action
and consequent sinker shape and movement.
Others Equipments Used In Knitting Section:
GSM cutter
Electronic balance
Inspection m/c
4.6.Terms and definition of knitting:
Course – A horizontal row of loops formed by the needles during one knitting cycle.
Wales – A vertical column of loops formed by a single needle.
Loop - It is a basic unit consisting of a loop of yarn meshed at its base with previously basic
unit. Knitted loops are arranged in rows and columns roughly equivalent to the warp and weft
of woven structures termed “Wales” and “courses” respectively
Stitch - The smallest dimensionally stable unit of all knitted fabric is stitch. It consists of a
yarn loop which is held together by being intermeshed with another stitch or other loop.
Stitch length - Stitch length is a length of yarn which includes the needles of the needle loop
& half of the sinker loop on either side of it. Generally the larger stitch length, the more
extensible & lighter the fabric & the poorer the cover, capacity & bursting strength.
Steps should be taken to change stitch length.
- Check the S.L of the m/c prevailing.
- Change the diameter of V. DLQ pulley.
- Set of the position of carriage.
- Set the speed of take- up roller
26. Knitting Section
22 | P a g e
- Maintain the optimum yarn tension.
Yarn count:
Yarn count is the numerical system of expressing length per unit weight or weight per unit
length. Count express fineness or coarseness of yarn.
Yarn count can be calculated in two systems:
Direct system:
In direct system, yarn count is directly related to the yarn fineness. So, lower the count finner
the yarn and higher the count and coarser the yarn. This system is used for Polyester and Ly-
cra and other synthetic fibers.
W l
Direct Count

Indirect system:
In indirect system, yarn count is inversely related to the yarn fineness. So, higher the count
finner the yarn and lower the count and coarser the yarn. This system is used for cotton,
worsted & woolen.

Stitch Density - Courses per inch (CPI) × Wales per inch (WPI)
M/C Gauge - A number of needles per unit length in the knitting m/c, measured as the
number of needles in one inch. This measure determines the number of Wales per unit length
in the knitted fabric.
4.7.Flat Knitting Section
Flat knitting section consists of Flat knitting machines. Its main production is Collar & Cuff.
Different types of designed collar & Cuff is produced here matching with the body of the
garments.
Flat knitting machine is used to make collar and cuff with the required shape. Collar and cuff
is usually with heavier gsm and thus multiple ply of yarn is used per feeder. No of yarn ply
used will also depend on the yarn count. Lycra is also used when required.

5.1. Batching:
Primarily batching is done by batching section which is supervised by dyeing manager.
The main function of batching section is to prepare the batch for dyeing according to
machine capacity, order and emergency. This section receive the grey fabric from knitting
section and make batch according to order for particular shade. Then this batch delivers to
dyeing section for dyeing.
Function or purpose of Batch section:
To receive the grey fabric roll form knitting or other source.
Turn the gray fabric if require.
Prepare the batch for dyeing according to the following criteria:
Order sheet (Received from buyer)
Dyeing shade ( light or dark, color or white)
Machine capacity.
Type of fabric ( 100% Cotton, CVC, Stripe fabric)
Emergency order.
Fabric construction (Single jersey, Rib, Lycra Rib, Lacost, PK etc.)
To send the grey fabric to the dyeing floor with batch card.
To keep record.
Proper Batching Criteria:
To use maximum capacity of existing dyeing machine.
To minimize preparation time & machine stoppage time.
To use a particular machine for dyeing same shade.
5.2.Calculations related to batch section:

Grms per linear meter
Now, when a gram per linear meter is low then meters per chamber will be more. Thus,
fabric loading should be reduced to avoid jamming in the winch. In this case 80-85% fabric
44. Lab Section
Industrial Attachment 40 | P a g e
loading is given. But when gram per linear meter is more then rope length will reduce and
in this case up to 90% fabric loading can be given.
Preparing the fabric ropes
The fabric ropes for each chamber should be prepared in batching section. The fabric rolls
are correctly sewn together. This will minimize the time required to load the machine, and
avoid the risk of rope entanglement.
Fabric loading in the m/c will vary with the type of fabric and the width of the fabric and
the amount is not less than 50% of the machine nominal load.
5.3.Calculating the chamber loading
In the following table are listed general recommendations covering rope cycle times and
speeds for a wide range of fabrics:
Fabric Rope cycle times in minutes Rope circulation speed m/min
Knit fabric
PES unfixed 1 250
PES heat set 1-1.5 200
PC 1-2 250
Co - reactive 2-3 225-275
For calculation the following diagram shows the weight per running metre of a fabric in
grams, and the corresponding rope weight and length. e.g. a fabric of 200 gm/running
metrewith rope length of 800 metres will have a dry weight of 160 kg.

Turn over time
The following diagram shows the relationship between winch speed and rope length
necessary to reach a required turn over time.
Figure 5-2: Rope length depending on winch speed
It is also possible to reverse the procedure and calculate the maximum rope length with a
fabric of a particular weight, having determined the winch speed and circulation time.
For example: 100% Cotton, Reactive dyeing:
Circulation time = 3 minutes
Winch speed = 250 m/min
Rope length = 3 mins x 250 m

If the rope is shorter, so that the same rope circulation time and nozzle contacts are
maintained during the cycle, the winch speed should be reduced.
Rope length 690 m
Circulation time 3 mins = 230 m/min (winch speed)
Calculation of the the rope length
If Rope weight is 105 kg
(weightper running metre) 200 kg/rm = 525 m (rope length)
Calculation of the winch speed
If Rope length is 540 m
Cycle time 3 mins
Then Winch speed = 180 m/min
Number of nozzle passages
(Process time) 360 mins
(Cycle time) 3 mins = 120 (nozzle passages)
5.4.Batch management
Primarily batching is done by dyeing manager taking the above criteria under
consideration. Batch section in charge receives this primary batch plan from dyeing
manager. Some time planning is adjusted according to m/c condition or emergency

7.3.Textile Dyeing:
Dyeing is a coloration process of textile which is invariable carried out in an aqueous
medium.
In the other hand, dyeing can be define as a process by which a yarn, fabric, garments and
any other materials that come to contact of dye by presence of auxiliaries that create the
condition of dyeing environment
Table 7. 1Classes of dyes on the basis of suitability of dyeing different fibers:
Sl. no Name of dyes Suitable for Fibers
01 Acid dyes Wool, silk and Nylon
02 Basic dyes Nylon, Acrylic, Acetate Rayon, Silk, Wool and Jute
03 Direct dyes Cotton, Viscose Rayon, Linen, Nylon, Wool and Silk
04 Azoic dyes Cotton, Viscose and Linen.
05 Vat dyes Cotton, Viscose and Linen.
06 Sulpher dyers Cotton, Viscose and Linen.
07 Reactive dyes Cotton, Viscose, Linen, Wool, Silk and Nylon.
08 Disperse dyes Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic, Acetate Rayon and Triacetate
Rayon.
Cotton:
The repeating unit in the cotton polymer is cellobiose, which consists of two glucose units.
The most important chemical grouping on the cotton polymer is the hydroxyl groups or -OH
groups. As a result
Cotton is a natural Cellulose has an empirical formula of (C6H10O5)n.

Oil and Wax Cuticle 0.70 %
Pectins Primary cell wall 1.0 %
Carbohydrates Primary cell wall 0.50 %
Protein Lumen 1.2 %
Salts Lumen 1.0 %
Water Whole 6.8 %
Others 2.0 %
7.4. Reactive dye:
Reactive dyes are so called because their molecules react chemically with the fibre polymers
of some fibres to form a covalent bond between the dye molecule and fibre polymer. The
fibre most readily coloured with reactive dyes are the man-made and natural cellulose fibres,
synthetic nylon, and natural protein fibres.
History: In 1955, Rattee and Stephen, working for ICI in England, developed a procedure for
dyeing cotton with fiber-reactive dyes containing dichlorotriazine groups. They established
that dyeing cotton with these dyes under mild alkaline conditions resulted in a reactive
chlorine atom on the triazine ring being substituted by an oxygen atom from a cellulose
hydroxyl group This is shown below:
Where Cell–OH is the cellulose with a reactive hydroxyl group, Dye–Cl- is the dye with its
reactive chlorine atom, and Cell–O–Dye the dye linked to the cellulose by a covalent bond.
The role of the alkali is to cause acidic dissociation of some of the hydroxyl groups in the
cellulose, and it is the cellulosate ion (Cell–O-) that reacts with the dye.

Classification of Reactive dyes on the basis of functional group
Mono-functional
Multi-functional
Bi-functional
Homo-bifunctional
Hetero-bifunctional
Tri-functional
Tetra-functional
Penta- functional
Bi-and poly-functional reactive dyes can be divided into four groups. If the two reactive
groups in the dyestuff molecule are the same, they are known as homobifunctional dyes, and
if they are different, they are known as heterobifunctional types.
Figure 7.2: Bifunctional reactive dye (Remazol Black B, DyStar)
Dyeing machine:
The machine which is used to dyeing or coloring of materials like yarn, fabric, garments or
any other materials is called dyeing machine.

7.5.Winch Dyeing Machine:
The winch or beck dyeing machine is quite simple and serves for all scouring,
bleaching, dyeing, washing-off and softening processes. The machine contains a length of
fabric with the ends sewn together, which is compressed to form a continuous rope. This rope
passes from the dye bath over two elevated reels and then falls back into the bath. The first
roller is free-running (jockey or fly roller). The second (winch reel) is driven and controls the
rate of rope transport and the extent of pleating where the rope accumulates below and behind
the winch. Both reels extend the full length of the machine and accommodate several fabric
ropes running side by side. The fabric rope is held on the winch by friction and its own
weight. Covering the winch with polypropylene or polyester tape increases the friction.
Figure 7. 3: Dilmenlar Winch Dyeing m/c
7.6.Principle of winch dyeing machine
The basic principle of all winch dyeing machines is to have a number of loops or
ropes of the fabric in the dye bath, these ropes are of equal length, which are mostly
immersed in the liquor in the bath.
The upper part of each rope runs over two reels which are mounted over dye bath. At
the front of the machine, above the top of the dye liquor, is a smaller reel, which is
called jockey or fly roller. The fly roller remains freewheeling along with fabric rope.
At the back of winch tank is the winch wheel, which pulls the fabric rope from the dye
bath over the jockey reel for dropping in the dye bath for immersion.
From the dropped location, the fabric rope travels back. To be lifted and fed to winch
wheel.
69. Dyeing Section
Industrial Attachment 65 | P a g e
The dyeing process on winch dyeing machines is based on higher M: L as compared
with other dyeing machines.
The process is conducted with very little tension.
The total dyeing time is lengthier as compared to other machines.

7.8. Important parts of Dilmenler Winch Dyeing m/c:
Winch:
Winch is an important part of dyeing machine and used for moving the fabric through the
whole dyeing machine. Winch is rotated with the help of motor. Fabric is passed over the
winch and fabric dwell time depends on the winch speed. Winch speed will depend on the
rope length and gsm of the fabric to be dyed. There is opening on the machine for winch to
remove tangled fabric from winch. No. of nozzle per winch is normally 1 or 2 and total no. of
winch per machine will depend on machine capacity.
Figure 7.6: winch
76. Dyeing Section
Industrial Attachment 72 | P a g e
Addition Motor:
Addition motor is used to dissolve salt, soda dye and other chemicals. This motor ensures
uniform dispersion of chemicals. This motor is used in the dosing tank and tiere is an agitator
connected to the motor for addition.
Dosing tank:
Dosing tank is used for the application of dyes and chemicals to the dye bath in solution
form. Steam line is connected to the dosing tank. This tank ensures dissolved chemicals and
dyes to the dyeing machine to ensure fault free dyeing.
Nozzle:
Nozzle is the part of winch dyeing machine where dye pick up of the fabric is maximum.
After the winch the fabric is passed through the nozzle. Main motor is connected to the
nozzle and continuously circulate dyeing liquor to the machine via nozzle. Fabric passed with
the pressure of water and used for controlling the speed of dye liquor. There is opening in the
nozzle which can be controlled as required.
Heat Exchanger:
Heat exchanger is used for heating and cooling the dye bath liquor. Heat exchange process is
achieved by passing steam or water through the coiled pipe line present in the heat exchanger.
When heat is increased then steam valve is opened and passed through the coiled pipe line
and dyeing liquor is passed through the heat exchanger. During the passage, heat increase of
dyeing liquor. For reducing heat, water valve will opened and heat will reduce.
J-Box:
J-box of the machine is where fabric will stored after falling from the nozzle. J-shape helps
the smooth passage of fabric. This box contains a deposition tube line attached to the fabric
guide. This box is perforated and ensures easy circulation of dyeing liquor to the machine.
Main motor:
Centrifugal pump is used for circulating the liquor through the dyeing machine. Its capacity
will depend on the capacity of the machine.
Valves:
Different types of valves are used in dyeing machine. Such as steam valve, water valve,
pneumatic valve etc.
77. Dyeing Section
Industrial Attachment 73 | P a g e
Viewing light:
Viewing light is given in the dyeing machine to see how the dyeing of the fabric is advancing
in the dyeing machine from outside of the dyeing machine as it is impossible to look into the
dyeing machine due to high steam temperature.
Filter Tube:
Filter tube is used inside the circulating line and drain line through which dyeing liquor is
passed to filter impurities. If the filter is jammed then removed from line and cleaned.
Drain line:
Drain line is used for extracting the liquor out of the dyeing automatically.

Shade development :
Note:
When shade of one stage is ok then go for next stage (usually at 600
C).
But, when color is already close to target shade at 600
C after 10 min then, temp raise
to 700
C and run for 10 min. Another shade will be checked after 10 min at 700
C and if
shade is ok then bath drop.
When shade is light then color is added to the dye bath and run until required shade is
obtained.
In above cases shade development swatch with time will be different.
Bath drop sample should be darker than the target shade & depending on the shade
soaping decision will be taken.

7.18. Auxiliaries and its function
Chemical name Function
Anti creasing
Agent
Acts as lubricant and reduce friction between machine parts and
fabric. Thus prevent crease mark formation in the fabric. Those are oil
free substance.
Sequestering
Agent
Used to remove hardness and metal ion present in dyeing liquor.
Hardness of dyeing liquor can occurred due to hardness of fabric after
pretreatment which is 35 ppm and also from salt which is 70 ppm
Leveling Agent Leveling agent reduces the molecular size of the dye and it will slower
the penetration of dye into the fabric. As a result, uniformly dyed
fabric is obtained.
Enzyme Enzyme is used they remove the protruding fibbers from fabric. They
can act their function with the temp. of 550
C and with pH of 4.5-5.
Wetting agent To reduce surface tension of water thus ensures easy penetrating of
chemicals and dye to the fabric.
Anti Foaming
agent
To eliminate foam during dyeing process. Foam arises from water
circulation and material which quickly by, also from auxiliaries which
can generate foam.
H2O2 Hydrogen peroxide is used for bleaching of cotton fabric and to
remove natural color.
Peroxide
Stabilizer
Peroxide stabilizer is used for slowing down the decomposition of
Hydrogen Peroxide because if decomposition of H2O2 is more than the
production of HO2
-
then it can lead to cellulose breakage.
Peroxide Killer Used to remove peroxide remaining in the fabric. Otherwise the fabric
will damaged due to presence of peroxide.
Salt Salt acts as electrolyte and increase absorption of reactive dye into
fibre. salt increase exhaustion of dyes.
99. Finishing Section
Industrial Attachment 95 | P a g e
Soda Ash Addition of soda ash causes dissociation of some hydroxyl group in
the cellulose and cellulosate ion begins to react with dye.
Acetic Acid Acetic acid is used to maintain pH of the dye bath in the acidic
medium and also used for neutralization from basic medium to the
neutral nedium.
Softener The function of softener is to soft the hand feel of the fabric and
increase the luster of the fabric.
NaOH Caustic Soda is used for ensuring alkali media in the dye bath and also
reduce the amount of soda that is used for dark shade.
Soaping agent The function of soaping agent is to remove unfixed dyes present in the
fabric.
