INDUSTRY PROFILE

The English cotton mill, which emerged as an entity in 1771, went though many changes before the last one was constructed in 1929. It had a worldwide influence on the design of mills, and changed over time. The architectural development of the cotton mill was linked to the development of the machinery which it contained, the power unit that drove it, and the financial instruments used for its construction. In Lancashire England the industry was horizontally integrated, with carding and spinning only in south east Lancashire, while weaving was more evenly spread but more concentrated to the north and west of the country. In the USA in Pennsylvania, the process was mostly vertically integrated and led to combined mills

where carding, spinning and weaving took place in the same mill. Mills were also used for finishing such as bleaching and printing.
HISTORY The early mills were narrow and low in height, of light construction, powered by water wheels and containing small machines. Interior lighting was by daylight, and ceiling height was only 6-8 ft. Masson Mill in Derbyshire is a good example of an early mill. Mills were made by millwrights, builders, and iron founders. These Arkwright type mills are about 9 feet (2.7M) wide. Spinning was done with a spinning mule, which was not restricted by patent, so many engineers experimented with improvements which they then tested in their own establishments. These men became the successful mill owners. Slater Mill was built in 1790 on the Blackstone River in Pawtucket, Rhode Island by Samuel Slater (an immigrant and trained textile worker from England) using concepts from the earlier horse drawn Beverly Cotton Manufactory. Slater managed to evade restrictions on emigration which were put in place to allow England to maintain its monopoly on cotton mills. Slater Mills resembled a mill in Derbyshire that he had worked in. Water powered mills were common. The first steam mills used the engine to drive a pump to raise water in order to run a water wheel. Though water continued to be used to drive mills in the country, the next development was the small town mills, driven by steam, situated alongside a canal which provided water for its engine. Murrays Mills alongside the Rochdale Canal, in Ancoats were powered by 40 hpBoulton and Watt beam engines. Some were built as room and power mills which let space to entrepreneurs. These mills, often L or U shaped, were narrow and multi-storied. The engine hourse, warehousing and the office were in the mill, though stair towers were external. Windows were square and smaller than in latter mills. The walls were of unadorned rough brick. Construction was to fireproof designs. They are distinguished from warehouses in that warehouses had taking in doors on each storey with an external hoist beam. Only the larger mills have survived. Mills of this period were from 25 to 68 m long and 11.5 m to 14 m wide. They could be stories high and have basements and attics. Floor height went from 3.3 to 2.75m on the upper stories. Boilers were of the wagon type; chimneys were square or rectangular, attached to the mill, and in some cases part of the stair column. The steam engines were typically low8

pressure single-cylinder condensing beam engines. The average power in 1835 was 48 hp. Power was transmitted by a main vertical shaft with bevel gears to the horizontal shafts. The later mills had gas lighting using gas produced on site. The mules with 250-350 spindles were placed transversely to get as much light as possible. From 1825 the steam engine was able to power larger machines which were constructed from iron using improved machine tools. Mills from 1825-1865 were generally constructed with wooden beamed floors and lath and plaster ceilings. William Fairbairn experimented with cast iron beams and concrete floors. Mills were of red brick or sometimes local stone, but there was a greater attention to decoration, with pilasters, and the main gate was often highlighted with stone decoration. The stair columns were still exterior to the main floors. During this period the mules got wider and the width of the bays increased. Specialized mill architects appeared. In rural areas the mill and its associated village were often built together, but in the city the mill was built separately. This was a period when there were major advances in steam engine technology. The Lancashire boiler was patented in 1844, and the Economizer in 1845. This case be seen as a square brick structure between the boiler house and the chimney. The engine would be a double compound upright beam engine of the type patented by Mc Naught in 1845. Each room would have a line shafts suitable for the type of frame, connected by belt drives or gearing. In 1860, there were 2650 cotton mills in the Lancashire region, employing 440000 people. They were paid in total 11,500,000 per annum. 90% were adults and 56% female. The mills used 300,000 HP of power, of which 18,500 was generated by waterpower. The mills had 30,387,467 spindles and 350,000 power looms. The industry imported 1,390,938,752 lb of raw cotton a year.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

21

COTTON GODOWN The Cotton bales, which requires for manufacturing yarn are placed in the cotton go down. The Cotton bales are arranged and stored according to their variety. Each variety is called as a lot. The weight of one bale is 160kqs. They take samples from each bale and check regarding mic, length, strength color gradeness. They choose the cotton according to the count and check whether they suit the count.

MIXING Mixing process is done in a mixing department in this process cotton in the bale form is opened and mixed with all varieties. Tuffed cotton is made into pieces manually. Then the varieties of cotton are arranged layer by layer a further taken for process. Here the dust like sand, stones, jute, Hessian, polypropline cloth which can be seen visibl are removed off.

BLOW ROOM Cotton is opened and cleaned mechanically; waste cotton and pure cotton are separated. Where the waste is collected manually. Bale opener is a machine where the cotton are cleaned by taking the impurities and rashes in the cotton and sent through pipelines. A machine named Axiflow cleaner with two beaters involve in this process. Asta cleaner a machine function by gravitational force where the other wastages automatically falls down. CVT3 is a beater where they are sent to CCS contamination by clearer system to photo cell. This machine takes photo scan about the cotton and rejects the parties which is not a cotton. Cotton from all these machines are sent through pipelines for next process.

22

CARDING In this process cotton is converted into silver form. Each an individual fiber is cleaned by means of sharpened metallic wires. Cotton fibers are separated and made into silver. Here the wastages are collected by fan and filter. In this process, the thickness of the silver is 5mm.

COMBING The combing process is done to the silver. Cotton is cleaned and short fibers are removed. The silver is taken to lap former, where I lap is converted from 24 carding silver. Then they are taken to lap where the combing action will be functioning. It contains two combs named top comb and bottom comb. Here the silver will be functioning between these two combs. Desired mm of fibers is set as per the settings. Settings are mad along with the help of computer. The wastages from these room are sent to waste godown.

DRAWING In this department all the fibers are parallised. Fibers will be in different shapes. So they will be stretched and made in drawing. Up to 6 or 8 silver are blended and made into one silver. The dust is collected by fan in this machine.

SIMPLEX In this department, silver is pressed and drafted and reduces the thickness of silver where it is called as a roving. Roving means a single thread give small twist and wind on the bobbin normally the hanks that are processing in this mill. In this process if any one of the silver cuts, entire system in the machinery will be stopped automatically.

23

SPINNING The object of the spinning department is to convert the roving into yarn. The yarn is winded on a plastic pump along with the 14 long frames and 28 short frames. 1 long frame = 1 short frame = 1040 needles 504 needles

The marketing movement and customers requirement decide the count spun in a unit. The bobbins used in spinning process are in different colours which is used to draft the roving to convert it into yarn.

AUTO CORNER In this department, the yarn from spinning department is made into bigger package called cone. The yarn passes through the slub catcher any slub, thick, thin; neps are to be cut the blade and wind on the paper cone. Single yarn packing is made in paper according to customers needs. Double yarn packing is made is plastic cones. DOUBLE WINDER Double yarn is wounded into one yarn in cheese form. The yarn to be cone wind on cheese two or more cones. PACKING After the yarns are produced they are taken for packing department. In packing department the products are packed in covers and then store in the godown and taken for the market.

ANTICIPATED ADVANTAGE The process becomes faster. The calculation becomes accurate. Reports can be taken quite easily than it was in the previous system.

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE A system development life cycle is a systematic and orderly approach to solving system problems. System problem solving is the act of studying a problem environment In order to implement corrective solutions that take the form of new or improved systems. The SDLC consists of five distinct phases. They are:

Planning Analysis Design Implementation Support

PLANNING Planning is the process of identifying the scope and boundary of the problem and plans the development strategy and goals. A feasibility study is conducted to determine whether the system is a feasible solution.

30

ANALYSIS Analysis is the process of analyzing the information needs of end users, the organizational environment and any system presently used. It helps to develop the functional requirement of a system that can meet the needs of end users.

Planning

Analysis

Design

Implementation

DESIGN

Support This phase continues the work done in the analysis phase. The designers approaches the

system from the perspective of the data objects that the program needs and the operations performed on them. The first perspective leads to the creation of data types and second the considerations of design strategies. Here in student information system the data objects might include students, branch and staff members.

IMPLEMENTATION In implementation phase the analyst acquire hardware and software for the system. Testing will be performed with variety of input data to remove errors. Training will be provided to the users to operate and use the system.

31

SUPPORT In this phase the system analysts will provide ongoing support to the implemented system. They analyze the implemented solution, refine the design and implement improvements to the solution. It uses a post implementation review process to monitor, evaluate and modify the system as needed. YARN REQUIREMENT FORM
