What is a boiler for Textile mills ?

List of  boiler machine for Textile Mills and Apparel Industry is  closed vessel in which water or other liquid is heated, steam or vapor is generated, steam is superheated, or any combination thereof, under pressure or vacuum, for use external to itself, by the direct application of energy from the combustion of fuels, from electricity or nuclear energy. These are fired units for heating or vaporizing liquids other than water where these units are separate from processing systems and are complete within themselves. The definition includes water heaters that exceed 200,000 Btu/hr heat input, 200 degrees Fahrenheit at the outlet, or 120 gallons nominal water containing heating capacity

What is WTP? Sand Filter & Water Softener Hardness Setting.

What is WTP? Sand Filter & Water Softener Hardness Setting.

How to Fix Hard Water

How to fix hard water is a major question of water treatment or water purification process.  Water hardness test is a process of removing undesirable chemicals, materials and biological contaminants such as suspended particles, dissolved particles, iron content, bacteria etc. from contaminated water.  Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water) in the world but water purification may also be designed for variety of others purpose, including meeting the requirements of medical, pharmacology, chemical, textile and other industrial applications. A typical water treatment procedure for industrial use : Sand Filter,  Duel media filter,  Multi grade filter, Oxidation chamber, activated carbon water filter resin water filter, water softener hardness setting, Reverse osmosis system is used when it is required to remove TDS in large extent. Depending on hard water data treatment scheme is designed to submit economical offer to ensure desired quality of treated water.

Sand Filter:

Sand filter is the primary step of WTP- water treatment process for collecting pure water system from water hardness. Sand filter remove water substance from water. Sand filter remove iron from hard water and it is used for water purification.  This is very old technique so at present it is not developing broadly.

Sand Filter

Types of  Sand Filter :

There are three main types.

  1. Rapid sand filters
  2. Up flow sand filters
  3. Slow sand filters

Maine use of pressure Sand filter:

  1. To reduce the suspended solids very rapid level
  2. To remove the odor
  3. To get crystal clear water in outlet
  4. To reduce the turbidity

Activated Carbon Water Filter:

Activated carbon water filter is a method of filtering that uses a bed of activated carbon to remove contaminants and impurities, using chemical adsorption to provide pure water systems.  The activated carbon water filter is most fruitfull at removing chlorine, sediment and volatile organic compounds from water from water hardness. This process of activated carbon water filter remove water hardness by water hardness test

Resin Water Filter:

Resin water filter is widely used in different separation, purification, and decontamination processes which remove water hardness from watersoft. Resin water filter works like sandfilter.

Rasin Filter

Water Treatment Process gives pure water systems from water hardness

How do Water Softeners Work:

Water softener hardness setting is an ion exchange technique by which hardness of water is removed to supply pure water. Ion exchange is the process of water softener hardness setting to supply pure water system. This water softener hardness setting process of ion exchange will continue until all available exchange sites are filled at which point the resin is exhausted and must be regenerated by suitable chemicals.

Soft Water Store Tank :

This is a tank where soft water is stored after softner filter.

Delivery Pump :

Soft water is sent to different section like dyeing and washing from soft water store tank. To ensure smooth running of both process and machinery distribution of water to the system has to be at the right quantity and the pressure. Water Treatment by means of reverse osmosis requires high pressure and accuracy. Regulation must be a fast and smooth response to change in operating conditins – e.g. Clogging. In order to meet this we have developed a unique mix and match approach – for example customized pumps that can handle high inlet pressure.

What is Digital Textile Design? How Performance Textiles Works

What is Digital Textile Design? How Performance Textiles Works

Digital Textile Design

E textiles, also known as Digital Textile Design or smart textiles, are fabrics that enable digital components, and electronic textile to be embedded in them. Many intelligent clothing, smart clothing, wearable computing projects involve the use of electronic textiles. Today, metal fibers are finding new applications in the development of digital textile design. Electrically conductive fibers can be classified into two general categories, those that are obviously conductive and those that are individually treated to create conductivity.

History of Textile in Fabricland:

The basic things needed to build E textiles, conductive threads and fabrics have been around for over 1500 years. In particular, artisans have been wrapping fine metal foils, most often gold and silver, around fabric threads for centuries .For example, are embroidered with gold wrapped threads of fabricland.

At the end of the 18th century, as people developed and grew accustomed to electronic designers and engineers began to combine electricity with clothing and jewelry developing a series of illuminated and motorized necklaces, hats, broaches and costumes in fabricland.

Manufacturing Process of Performance Textiles: 

Metallic fibers are finding new applications in the development of electronic textiles in worldwide

Performance Textiles
Performance of Digital Textile

Benefits of Electronic Textile: 

  • Flexibility
  • No wires to snag environment
  • Large surface Area
  • Invisible
  • Cheap engineering

Construction of Electronic Textiles:

  • Lily Pad Arduino
  • Fabric kit.
  • Aniomagic
  • Flora

Conductive fabrics and textiles are plated or woven with metallic elements such as silver, nickel, tin, copper, and aluminum these are: electro-nylon, electro-nylon nickel, clear-mesh, soft-mesh, electro-lycra and steel-cloth. They are lightweight, flexible, durable, soft and washable (some) and can be sewn like traditional textiles, which makes them a great replacement for wires in computational garments.Conductive threads and yarns have a similar purpose to wires and that is to create conductive paths from one point to another.

Development of Performance Textiles:

Some of the most advanced functions that have been demonstrated in the lab include performance textiles-

Definition & List of Sewing Machine

Sewing machine is a machine  is developed by Bernina, juki, janome, elna, pfaff which is used to stitch fabric, cards or other materials together with thread. Usually an overlock sewing machine will cut the edges of the cloth as they are fed  though some are made without cutters. Overlock stitches are very versatile, as they can be used for adornment,  einforcement. The people should be trained  how to use a sewing machine.

Some terms or formula are used to calculate capacity and productivity:

SMV( Standard minute Value): Time at which a complete garment will be completed by a skilled operator with a proper working environment.

SMV=  Basic time * Allowances

Here, Allowance of SNLS- 19%

F/L and O/L- 20%

Manual operation- 11- 12%

Target / Production= NET/ SM

Where,

N= No. of manpower

E= Expected efficiency

T= Working time

SM= Standard minute

Efficiency = (Standard Hr Produced /Total worked Hr) x 100

=[(No of produced Gmts. x SMV of that Gmt.)/No

of operators x working min] x 100

=SMV x Qty / No. Workers x working min] x100

Line Efficiency = (Total Earned Minutes/ Total Available minutes) x 100

Total Earned Minutes = No of produced Gmts. X SMV of that Gmt.

Total Available Minutes = No of operators x working minutes

Goal of IE:

  1. Productivity increase
  2. Cost minimization
  3. Wastage elimination
