What is a textile?
A flexible material constructed from a network of natural or artificial fibres.
TEXTILE RAW MATERIAL
Raw materials are unique substance in any production oriented textile industry. They play a
vital role in continuous production and for high quality fabric. Textile raw materials are selected
as per the manufacturing policy of the company i.e. whether a composite mill or only a
spinning, weaving or dyeing/finishing.
Types of Textile Raw Material; they include the following:
1. Fibre 2. Fabric 3. Dyestuff 4. Chemical and Auxiliaries
FIBRE: A fibre has been defined according to ASTM as ‘a unit of matter characterized by
flexibility, fineness and a high ratio of length to thickness’.

Name & Source: Cotton, Silk, Jute, Wool, Polyester, Nylon, Spandex, Flax, Acrylic, Aramid,
Polyethylene, etc.
FABRIC: Fabric is a planar textile structure formed by interlacing yarns, fibres or filaments. It
may be woven, knitted or nonwoven.
Name & Source: 100% cotton fabric, 65% cotton/35% polyester fabric, etc.
DYES: A dye is a coloured substance that has an affinity for the substrate (e.g. fibre, yarn, fabric,
paper, etc.), on which it is applied. Dyes are generally applied in an aqueous solution and
require a mordant to improve the fastness of dyes on substrate. The following dyes are used;
Reactive, Disperse, Acid, Basic, Direct, Sulphur, Azoic, Vat, etc.
CHEMCALS & AUXILIARIES: Dyeing auxiliaries are chemicals or formulated chemical product
which enables processing operation in preparation, dyeing, printing or finishing to be carried
out more effectively or which is essential if a given effect is to be obtained. Examples are;
sequestering agent, lubricants, desizing agent, mercerizing agent, etc.
MATERIAL HANDLING
Material handling can be defined as an “art and science of conveying, elevating, positioning,
transporting, packaging and storing of materials.”
Starting from the time, the raw materials (such as fibres for spinning unit or yarns for
weaving/knitting unit and fabrics for wet processing or garmenting units) enters the mill and
goes out of the mill in the form of finished products; it is handled at all stages within mill
boundaries such as within and between raw materials stores, various section of production
department, machine to machine and finished product stores.
Material handling involves the movement of materials, manually or mechanically in batches or
one item at a time within the plant. The movement may be horizontal, vertical or both.
Material movements add to the cost but not to the product value. The ideal manufacturing
plant will have an absolute minimum material handling and more use of mechanical material
handling equipment. Some benefits associated with effective material handling in
textile/manufacturing industry are listed below;
Improving productivity
Increasing the speed of material movement

Reducing man-power
Reducing materials wastage and minimizing production cost
Promoting easier and cleaner handling
Eliminating idle time of machines, equipment and workers
Reducing fatigue incurred by the workers
Locate and stock materials better and in less space
Increasing safety and minimizing, etc.
FUNCTIONS OF MATERIAL HANDLING SECTION
There are basically two functions of material handling section:
1. To select production machinery and assist in plant layout so as to eliminate as far as possible
the need of material handling. For examples: in a spinning mills chute feed cards, open end
spinning machine, auto-doffing ring frames and autoconer etc. reduce the material handling
activities hence material handling cost.
2. To choose most appropriate material handling equipment which is safe and can fulfill
material handling requirements at the minimum possible overall cost. For example: Air
conveyor pipes within the blow room and between blow room and cards, big size plastic
container trolley for handling ring frame bobbins, cones and fabrics in a textile mill.
MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENTS
Wide ranges of material handling equipment’s are available in the market; which are suitable to
the most of the industrial requirements. Material handling equipment’s are classed as:
1. Industrial trucks: manual and powered
2. Cranes: overhead bridge crane, jib crane and gantry crane
3. Conveyors: belt conveyors, roller conveyor, chain or cable conveyor, etc.
4. Monorail 5. Lift 6. Slides & chutes
7. Hoists: chain type manual, electrical & pneumatic.
8. Tractors & trailers etc.

Material Handling Precautions:
1. Operatorsare to be careful inthe use of hookswhenremovingrollerlapping,because itcould
damage rollersandrubberaprons.
2. Bobbinsandtravellersdroppedonthe spinningfloorsshouldbe pickedimmediately.Bobbinscan
cause accidents and travellersdroppedwill be wasted.
3. Maintenance workersshouldplace warningsignsonthe machine whenworkingonitsothat other
workerscouldkeepoff.Rollersandgearscan easilycause injuries..
