Industrial training summery
Textile engineering education is based on industrial ground. Theoretical background is not
sufficient so, industrial training is an essential part of study to make a technologist technically
sound in this field. Industrial training provides us that opportunity to gather practical
knowledge.
Padma PolyCotton Knit Fabrics Limited is a truly integrated undertaking. The textile
division has the capability to offer a complete product range for the export & domestic textile
markets. The goal of the textile division is to become the preferred partner for sourcing high
quality fabrics & clothing from Bangladesh. With high advanced technology & an emphasis
on developing local human resources, the textile division has the potential to make an important
contribution to the nation’s growing readymade garments export sector.
The rationale behind the existing structure & future expansion of the textile division is to
capture value added at each stage of the textile manufacturing process. Despite Bangladesh’s
lack of indigenous cotton production capability, Padma PolyCotton Knit Fabrics Limited has
leveraged Bangladesh’s labor cost advantage & export competitiveness to maximum level.

role in continuous production and for high quality fabric. Padma PolyCotton Knit Fabrics
Limited Takes yarn as its raw materials for its initial production of knitted fabrics to make
garments. It is dependent on different spinning mills of home and abroad to collect different
types of yarn as it requires.
3.1 Types of raw material:
Natural and synthetic, cellulosic, non-cellulosic all kind of yarn are used as raw materials in this
mill. Generally cotton, polyester, viscose, nylon is most widely used.

CHAPTER 3 Machine description
Page 19

Knitted structures are progressively built up from row of intermeshed loops. The newly feed
yarn converted into a new loop in each needle hook. The needle then draws a new loop head
first through the old loop, which remains from previous knitted cycle. The needles at the
same time release the old loop so that they hang suspended by their heads from the feet of
the new loops whose heads are still held in the hook of the needles.
A cohesive knitted loop structure is thus produced by a combination of the intermeshed
needle loops and yarn that passes from needle loop to needle loop.
Padma PolyCotton Knit Fabrics Limited is well equipped modern export oriented industry. It
has high quality machinery with large production. There are 2 types of machine in this
industry.
These are:-
Circular knitting machine
Single jersey machine
Double jersey machine
Flatbed machine (cuff & collar).

5.1 Classification of Knitting
Classification of knitting can be prevented as below:
Weft knitting:
A method of making a fabric by normal knitting means in which the loops made by each weft
thread are formed substantially across the width of the fabric, characterized by the fact that
each weft thread is fed more of less at right angle to the direction in which the fabric is
produced.
Single jersey:
A fabric in which all the loops of the Wales are intermeshed in one direction is called single
jersey only cylinder to make single jersey fabric.
Knitting
Weft knitting Warp knitting
Flat knitting Circular knitting
Double jersey Single jersey
Page 29
28
Double jersey:
A fabric in which all loops of the alternate Wales are intermeshed in one direction and all the
loops of the other Wales knitted at the same course intermeshed in the other direction is called
double jersey Dial and cylinder is used to make this type of fabric.

5.3 Description of Production Process:
In every mill, there maintains a sequences in production processing. It is also followed in this
mill where we were in industrial attachment. The process sequences are in list below:
1) Firstly, knitting manager gets a production shit from the merchandiser as accordance as
consumer requirements then he informs or orders production officer about it.
2) Production officer informs technical in charge and knows about machine in which the
production will be running.
3) 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.
4) Production officer with experienced mechanical fitter adjusts required stitch length and
grey GSM for required final GSM.
5) Supervisor checks daily production regularity and make operator conscious about finishing
tin due time.
6) Operators operate machine in high attention as if there were no faults in the fabrics. If he
thinks or sure about any fabric fault, 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.
7) After required production and final inspection in 4-point system, they sent in dyeing
section.
5.4 Process Requirements:
We have already discussed there are basically three kinds of machine which is used to
Produce knit fabric and these are:
1. Circular knitting machine (Single Jersey Machines).
2. Circular knitting machine (Double Jersey Machines).
3. Flat knitting machine.
Page 31
30
5.5 Minimum Requirement of Production Parameters:
For Machine:
1. Machine Diameter
2. Machine rpm (revolution per minute)
3. No of feeds or feeders in use
4. Machine Gauge
5. Counter setup
6. Required time (M/C running time)
7. Machine running efficiency.
For Lycra:
1. Should be good elasticity
2. Yarn should be uniform
3. Elastic recovery 100%
Other:
1. Needle oil; should be water soluble
2. Belt
3. Grease
4. Kerosene: etc.
5.6 Considerable Points to Produce Knit Fabrics:
When a buyer orders for fabric then they mention some points related to production and
quality. Before production of knitted fabric, these factors are needed to consider. Those are as
follows-
- Type of Fabric or design of Fabric.
- Finished G.S.M.
- Yarn count
- Types of yarn (combed or carded)
- Diameter of the fabric.
- Stitch length
- Color depth.

5.11 Comments:
Actual production is less because of lower efficiency.
Machine is stopped after complesion of each roll. This is a reason for less actual
production.
Machine stops during shift change Which results less actual production.
Order sortage & Yarn sortage also responsible for less actual production.

2) Offline quality control
6.4 Yarn quality:
check the quality by yarn test method( suitable for white color or dark color)
check the yarn count( thick/thin, slub,neps,contamination, patta,hariness)
6.5 Knitting quality:
Working Area of ON Line Quality Control:
At the knitting production stage check the every fabric quality by online quality person. Also
check the program sheet with the knit card (like buyer, order, yarn count, machine diameter,
gauge, stitch length, yarn lot etc.)

10.1 Conclusion:
For every person who is fresher in the field of textile, industrial training works like learning
route. This course has given the opportunity to learn the industrial work & follow the process
sequence virtually. From our two month observation of the industry along with research &
development and knitting section specially, we can say that in the knitting sector, this industry
has strong possibility because the industry is running with all modern machineries & very
knowledgeable persons are working all the time. In the production floor the commanding
power of the officers, compliance, administration rules, everything is appealing. We hope that
this industrial training will help us a lot in the future period where ever we want to develop our
career. Finally wishing the best prospect for both the industry & praying for a good future for
us that we want to conclude.
