3.1 Knitting Section of Abanti Colour Tex Ltd.:
In Abanti Colour Tex Ltd., there are 75 set knitting machines available & average production is
35 ton/day.In this section, firstly, knitting manager gets a production sheet from the merchandiser
as accordance as consumer requirements then he informs or orders production officer about it.
Then production officer informs technical in charge and knows about machine in which the
production will be running. Technical in charge calls for leader of mechanical fitter troops, they
take decision about machine for production considering machine condition, production capacity,
maintenance complexity, etc. Production officer with experienced mechanical fitter adjusts
required stitch length and grey GSM for required final GSM. Supervisor checks daily production
regularity and make operator conscious about finishing tin due time. 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. After required production and final
inspection in 4-point system, they deliver in dyeing section. As a short description of knitting it
can be said that knitting is the most popular technique of fabric formation by inter-looping one or
one set of yarns. Knitted fabric can be classified into two main categories such as warp knitted
fabric and weft knitted fabric. Due to higher production, lower cost and easy installment demand
of weft knitted fabric is increasing day by day. For the weft knitted fabric production, two main
knitting machines are used here: (i) Flat Bed Knitting Machine & (ii) Circular Knitting Machine.
On the basis of knitted stitches per minute against the capital cost of the machine, circular
garment-length machines are generally more productive than flat bed machines for cut and sew
knitwear. There are four weft knitted structure named single jersey, rib, interlock and purl. It is
possible to produce all of these knit fabrics by circular machine after some changes. Circular
machines are mainly single cylinder type for single jersey fabric, cylinder and dial type for rib
and interlock fabrics and double cylinder types for purl fabrics. Single jersey is the simplest
structure among four basic wefts knitted structure. Production of knitted structure is totally
mathematical based & it depends on various factors. Machine gauge is one of the important
factors among them. It is very important for the knitter to calculate the productivity of a machine
in order to be able to schedule production and specify the delivery dates to the customer.
Knitting section of Abanti Colour Tex Ltd. is divided into two main section:

3.4 Dyeing Laboratory Section:
In the laboratory section of Abanti Colour Tex Ltd. sample fabrics are dyed according to buyers
requirements. Depending on lab dip development, sample dyeing and bulk production dyeing
planning are done. It plays an important role in dyeing process. For fulfilling buyer satisfaction
samples are prepared in the dyeing lab and sent to them through merchandiser for approval.
Dyeing laboratory of Abanti Colour Tex Ltd. is divided into two sections:
i. Chemical Laboratory
ii. Physical Laboratory
Color measurement is mainly done for the purpose of shade matching as perfectly as possible.
Shade matching of the produced sample with the standard one is compulsory. In Abanti Colour
Tex Ltd. Color measurement is done by two methods: (i) Manual Method & (ii) Instrumental
Method.
In manual method, the std. samples color is measured by comparing it with previously produced
samples of different tri-chromatic color combination. The sample with which the color of the std.
matched, that samples color recipe is being taken for shade matching .This methods accuracy
completely depends on the vision of the person related to it but person must be needed gather
experience about color matching.
In instrumental method, Spectrophotometer interfaced with a PC is used for shade matching.
This instrument works with the principle of reflectance measurement of light at different wave
length. When the standard sample is being subjected under spectrophotometer, then the
instrument suggest a recipe with required tri-chromatic colors within the tolerance limit of color
difference. In this way, color measurement of the standard sample is carried out for the purpose
of shade matching.

Conclusion:
Two months internship programme in Abanti Colour Tex Ltd. was a concluding part of the
B.Sc in Textile Engineering course which was to comprehend my theoretical knowledge along
with practical knowledge. The industrial training gave me the opportunity to work in mills. It
was an experience of normal academic learning. This training gave me actual picture about man,
machine, material, methods and market. During the training period,the whole 60 days were
segmented and scheduled to a systematic routine. I had earned the direct knowledge about the
raw materials, actual running condition of the m/cs, works technologist and administration. This
mill is a well planed with enough expansion facilities. There are wonderful employer and worker
relation. Working environment for the labors is also good. During my training I visited knitting
section, dyeing & finishing section, garments section, store, maintenance, administration section
etc. Everywhere I got cordial behavior from all employees. Above all this training for 60 days in
the Abanti Colour Tex Ltd. had given me a new experience for practical life. Daffodil
International University had given me the field to perform the industrial attachment with Abanti
Colour Tex Ltd. Undoubtedly, this attachment paved me the way to learn more about textile
engineering, industrial practices, industrial management and production process. Besides this
attachment gave me the first opportunity to work in an industry and acquainted me with the
internal sight and sound of textile industries. I believe with all these, the experience of the
industrial attachment will help my future life as a Textile Engineer.
