CHAPTER-05
DYEING & FINISHING DIVISION

5.1 Introduction
Dyeing means to color the whole fabric using different chemicals & dyestuff.
Although dyeing is a chemical operation, most of the simpler processes may be
carried out on the small scale by sensible people who have very little chemical
knowledge, nevertheless, following a set of instruction in ignorance of the reasons
behind their formulation is unlikely to lead to the deeper understanding of textile
coloration that is needed by professional people in the coloration industry.
Consequently this chapter has been included the working knowledge of chemistry.

After approval from the buyer, sample dyeing is done in dyeing m/c, in
Page 49 of 65

dyeing shed & again matched with the approved sample.


If result is OK, then balk production is commenced.
During dyeing process, before the final acid wash, samples are taken and
checked for accurate shade matching.
After dyeing sample is collected & matching is done.
8.2.3 in finishing section:
Correctly dyed, after treated & matched fabrics are allowed for finishing.
By using a series of finishing machines correct width, softness & appearance are
maintained according to requirements.
Then sampling is done several times to test GSM, Shrinkage & fastness properties.

8.7 Problems Encountered in Dyeing:


8.7.1 Uneven Dyeing
1. It can be caused due to rapid addition of dyes and chemicals. For this
purpose the dosing of soda ash should be maintained properly.
2. Pressure difference.
3. Over loading in the m/c.
4. Yarn lot mixing.
5. Improper control of temperature.
6. Less amount of leveling agent.
7. Improper pretreatment.
8.7.2 Uneven Shade in Rope to Rope
1. Improper rope length in each chamber.
2. Improper fabric flow speed in each nozzle.
8.7.3 off Shade
1. Improper M: L ratio.
2. Lower amount of auxiliaries.
3. Improper mixing of dyestuffs.
8.7.4 Dye Spots
This is most common fault caused by operator not correctly mixing and
thoroughly dissolving dyestuffs in the right amount of water.
8.7.5 Batch to Batch Shade Variation
If any of parameters of dyeing are changed then it will produce problems in batch to
batch consistency. In order to avoid this defect the following steps should be follow

Maintain the same liquor ratio.

Check that the fabric has the same dye affinity.

Use the same standard program procedures for each batch.


Page 51 of 65

Making sure that the operators add the right batch of chemicals at the same
time & temperature in the process.

Check the water supply daily especially ph, hardness & Na2CO3 content.

8.7.6 Crease Mark


Crease marks are produced due to the lower concentration of anti creasing
agent and improper cooling rate (defective cooling gradient). This is encountered by
increasing the concentration of anti creasing agent and proper adjustment of cooling
rate.
8.7.7 Running Marks
Running marks are frequently related to the material construction and are caused by
poor opening of the fabric rope.
1. Reducing the machine load and running at a slightly higher nozzle pressure, or
using the next largest available nozzle size, may also help.
2. Either pre setting or pre relaxation of the fabric before dyeing can avoid this
problem.
3. Running and crack marks can also be a result of incorrect process procedures. A
higher fabric speed, combined with slower rates of rinse and cooling will often correct
the problem.
4. Care should be taken to check that bath draining temperatures are not very high
especially viscose blends are involved.
5. Shock cooling of static material will also cause crack marks.
8.7.8 Intensive Foaming
In case of intensive foaming, which is caused when, the pumps try to pump a
mixture of air and water. This resets in the loss of nozzle pressure & floating of flake.
If the foaming is severe it is better to drop the bath & restart the process, after adding
an anti foaming agent to the new bath.
8.7.9 Patchy Dyeing
It is caused, if dye solution is not correct and also scouring is improper.
8.7.10 Miscellaneous Problems
Page 52 of 65

Batch to batch processing may vary due to the improper calculation of dyes and
chemicals and improper strength of salt soda and H 2O2 etc. Beside hardness of water
and caustic may lead to an improper shade.
8.8 Process of Shade Matching:
The required shade provided by the buyer is reproduced in the lab in lab
dyeing machine after the recipe prediction. The lab in-charge first uses the Computer
Color Matching System, to obtain the closest shade match recipe. Then he consults
the shade card and Pantone book to verify the obtained recipe. If he thinks that certain
changes in the recipe are necessary, he then alters the recipe according to his
experience. This recipe is used to dye a sample of 5 gm fabric in the lab dyeing
machine with following parameters.
a) Temperature and time
Cold Brand Reactive Dye - 65 c temp; 60 min
Hot Brand Reactive Dye - 98 c temp; 60 min
Turquoise Color (Cotton) - 85 c temp; 60 min
Polyester - 130 c temp; 30 min
b) M:L ratio
The samples are usually dyed using 1:10 ratio.
c) Pentone Book
Pentone Textile Color Selector
Total shade 1701
Color numbering system 6 digit + suffix
First two digits

11 to 19 ( range of lightness)

Middle two digits

01 to 64 ( range of hue)

Last two digits

9.2 Function of different Unit of Biological Effluent Treatment Plant (E T P):


Screening unit: It works like a filter. By filtering waste water, it removes threads,
pieces of fabrics, small metal pieces etc. In this unit a rotating brush is used for clean
the pores if screen. The brush rotates periodically.
Storage and Homogenization tank:
Different waste water from varies process is stored and makes a homogeneous
mixture by mixing different concentration of waste water.
Neutralization tank:
Neutralization of waste water is performed by dosing 98% H2SO4 as required to
control the PH Of waste water PH range 6.5 to 7.5.
Distribution tank:
It distributes the water to the biological oxidation tank. Continuous aeration is
supplied here. Antifoam is dosed here to control the foaming in the oxidation tank.
Biological oxidation tank:
It is the heat of E T P. The entire harmful chemicals are damaged here by breaking
their bonds. This is done by bacteria. To ensure the proper function work and growth
of bacteria, few conditions must be maintained.

A tank or basin in which waste water is held for a period of time, during which the
heavier solids settle to the bottom and the lighter material will floats to the water
surface. In this tank sludge is immersed and the harmless water is discharge to ponds,
Land, river etc.
Sludge Thickener:
Sludge taken here from clarifier. Polyelectrolyte is dosed coagulate the sludge. After
one hour of Polyelectrolyte dosing aeration is stopped and fresh water discharge to
drain when sludge is taken. The thickened sludge is transferred to the sludge thickener
bed.
Sludge Thickener bed:
Here sludge is dried which is used as good fertilizer as Ill as fuel of brick field. Sludge
is dried under the sunlight.

CHAPTER 11
CONCLUSION
11.1
Industrial attachment or, Industrial training is an essential part for textile education
because it minimizes the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge. These
Industrial training increases mine thought a lot about Apparel technology. It also helps us
to know a lot about industrial production process, machineries, and industrial
management and made me suitable for industrial life. Besides it gives us the first
opportunity to work in industry.
I have completed my industrial attachment from MM Knitwear Limited.
This factory does not compromise in case of quality. So, they have established on-line
and off-line quality control of each product. Besides, they also use the good quality yarn,
dyes and chemicals in their production process. Due to this, it has earned a very good
reputation in foreign market for its quality product over many other export oriented
textile mills. It has very Ill educated and technically experienced manpower to get rid of
any defect in production process. It has also a good organizational hierarchy. At last, I can
say industrial attachment prepare us for the expected destiny of practical life.
11.2 Limitations of the report:
Because of secrecy act, the data on costing and marketing activities have not been
supplied.
I had a very limited time. In spite of my willing to study more it was not possible
to do so
Some points in different chapters are not included as these Ire not available.
It is not possible to hold the whole thing of a textile industry in such a small frame
as this report. So, try my hard to summarize all the information that I are
provided.

11.3 Recommendations
Knitting production needs to increase as Ill as technical persons need to be
employed there?
More skilled labor should be used in a project and the overall efficiency will
increase.
Dyeing floor should keep always neat and clean. It kept It after unloading the
fabric from the dyeing machine specially, for Athena. Water must be swept time to
time.
During the transport of the fabric and during the loading of the m/c, fabrics get
soiled due to their drawing over the floor. This makes the fabric/part of the fabric
dirty. It may require more scouring/bleaching agent or may create stain.
Due to the pressure of higher production some times machine operators do not
maintain accurate time according to the actual process so that less quality product
is produced and may reject. So my suggestion is to increase machine and reduce
the pressure on the operator.
Should increase understanding between the top level personal and floor level
personal.
Finishing section need to be enlarged Ill as more technical persons need to be
employed there.
The m/c stoppage time should be analyzed and minimized. The maintenance
should be carried out when the m/c is out of action (Wherever possible) and
routine maintenance should be carried out regularly.
In knitting and finishing section every workers should use mask to make protect
them from fly. Otherwise the exhaust air system should be more effective.
Workers are not interested to wear their gown & hand gloves.
In the Laboratory there is no technical person, a textile engineer may be employed
here.
