    Buttonhole Sewing Machine Working Procedure: 

    Use of knife to make hole according to size

    For buttonhole machine of 18 liner hole is created by 9/16 Knife. For button of 14 liner hole is created by 7/16 Knife. Snap button for adjusting with garment’s if button fitting tight then presser should be increase at female button to make free (big) the hole. If snap top side plastic or glass then should be considered for increasing presser and have to adjust a presser that will not damage top side.

    Rules to identify about liner of button

    As we know,

    1 inch = 40 liner

    1 inch = 2.54 cm

    = 25.4 mm

    Liner = 25/ 40 [mm / liner]

    = 0.625

    Button width = 11 mm

    Liner = 11/ 0.625

    =   17.60

    = 18 [Because after point if the number is bigger than 5 than it counts as 1 and point dismissed]

    Rules to set hole at neck and front placket

    Rules = front placket width /2 -3     [here 3 mm minus for bartack width]

    As rules

    If f / placket width = 3 cm = 30 mm

    Hole placement of neck will be = (30 / 2 – 3) mm

    = 12 mm

    If f / placket width = 3.5 cm = 35 mm

    Hole placement of neck will be = (35 / 2- 3) mm

    =  14.5 mm

    Front placket hole placement

    Front placket width / 2 = f / plkt hole placement

    If , placket width = 30mm

    Hole placement will be = (30 / 2) mm

    = 15 mm

    Rules to set BD button

    For setting BD button following rules should follow:

    At first we have to fold a gmts as standard fold and after that have to measure collar spread.

    According to collar spread have to make a pattern to mark for button attached. To make pattern we have to carry in mind following elements:

    • collar spread
    • collar shape
    • collar point length & width

    Note: this pattern should differ from size to size.

Start a stop watch at the time of the release and take note of the time when the sample reaches bottom of the beaker. Wet ability is decided W.R.T with running lots. While comparing a new lot with a running lot we can follow the following procedure:   A particular fabric is desized, batched and then scoured, bleached with both the new and running wetting agent lot under the same condition. After the scour/bleach process the processed fabric are checked for their absorbency, size content and whiteness. If the results are similar than the new lot is as good as the running one.

    Waste Disposal Procedure

    The management of AUTO emphasizes on establishing Environment Management System (EMS) inside & outside its factory premises to ensure environmental protection in the process of using raw materials, manufacturing products and discharging wastes. The management is firmly committed to comply all the relative obligations to ensure environment friendly condition in and around the factory.

    The company has developed certain systemic procedures for the disposal of its wastes to prevent any environmental pollution and also for the safety of the workers & staff as well as the overall community.

    Disposal wastes in AUTO are Empty Drum, Waste Accessories, Waste Metal Items & Waste Glass Items etc. Specific guidelines for the disposal of wastes are mentioned below.

    • Day to day wastes inside the production system will be kept in the respective area or waste boxes and at the end of each working day all of these wastes will be dispatched outside the factory in a designated safe place.
    • Empty Drums, Empty Container, Empty Bottle, Waste Plastic etc. we keep in a designated area & then send to the supplier for Recycle. The empty container of Thinner & other chemical container should not be used in the factory and not be given to workers for any other purpose.
    • At first, we try to repair the wastage metal items & if it is not possible then we keep it temporary in the wastage store & sell to the producer for recycle.
    • We keep all the accessories Waste items such as Carton, Poly, Gum Tape, offset items, Plastic clip & others Wastage in a designated area & & then send to the supplier for Recycle.
    • Others Items such as fused tube light & Broken Glass we keep in a designated area & then send to the supplier for Recycle.
    • During the removal of wastes it will be ensured that no nuisance is created because of the removing process and it does not affect the workers staff and also the tenants in and around.
    • Store & Administration of HR will maintain records of all waste disposals.
    • To sell the waste one team of three dept. (1 person – Admin, 1 person – store & 1 person from security dept.) will inventory item wise qty. Finally by a challan it will be out from the factory.
    • Waste which are not sellable, will be destroy by burning at a designated place.

    Accumulated list of wastes & disposal procedures:

    Segregated wastes are finally disposed of when they are no longer required. Disposal procedure depends on waste category. Some wastes, such as chemical wastewater requires treatment by ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) and some require simple disposal procedure such as dumping on landfilling site. On the contrary, some other wastes are reused and recycled. In the following tables, we have mentioned all the wastes and their disposal procedures-
