Development of Mobile Fibre Extraction Machine for coir industry

The traditional coir industry in the state of Kerala is facing an acute crisis of fibre shortage. For some time it has been depending on the green husk fibre the major part of which is brought from the neighboring states.

The industry feels that there is an untapped stock of husks in the rural areas from where collection is difficult as on-site defibering is not possible.

Therefore there was a need to develop a mobile fibre extraction machine which could be taken to the remote villages so that vast untapped potential for utilization of husks from such areas could be tapped.

In view of this, Central Coir Research Institute of Coir Board, Kalavoor has developed a Mobile Fibre Extraction Machine that is being demonstrated before the coir industry.

The Central Coir Research Institute is one of the prime research centre of Coir Board (Recognised by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India) established in the year 1959 implements all the S & T programs for the development of Coir Industry headed by Dr. U.S.Sarma Director, RDTE.

TUFS proves to be proverbial lifeline for textile sector

Technology Up-gradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) initiated by the Union Ministry for Textiles is one of the highly successful schemes implemented by the Government of India. Indian textile industry was reeling under the impact of out-dated technology apart from other traditionally identified drawbacks with little or no value-addition to speak of. However, introduction of this scheme has proved to be a proverbial lifeline for the textile and allied industries. Fibre2fashion has taken the initiative to bring to our esteemed readers, the various statistical data related to TUFS with due thanks to the 'Office of the Textile Commissioner', Mumbai for providing the data.

The Ministry of Textiles first launched the Technology Up-gradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) initially for a period of five years, for the textile and jute sector in April-1999. At the end of the five year period in March-2009, it was subsequently extended up to March 2007. The objective of the TUF scheme was to help the ailing textile and allied sectors to modernise and up-grade their technology and equipment in which the government also paid a subsidy to these enterprises, to help them with their capital requirements.

Under the scheme, the companies have the option to choose from multiple options like 5 percent interest reimbursement of the normal interest charged by the lending agency on RTL or, 5 percent exchange fluctuation (interest & repayment) from the base rate on FCL, or 15 percent credit linked capital subsidy for SSI sector, or 20 percent credit linked capital subsidy for powerloom sector, or 5 percent interest reimbursement plus 10% capital subsidy for specified processing machinery.

Segments which were identified within the textile and allied industry, included, spinning, cotton ginning & pressing, silk reeling & twisting, wool scouring & combing, synthetic filament yarn texturising, crimping and twisting, manufacturing of viscose filament yarn (VFY) / viscose staple fibre (VSF), weaving/knitting including non-wovens and technical textiles, garments, made-up manufacturing, processing of fibres, yarns, fabrics, garments and made-ups.

The jute sector is also eligible to take advantage of these concessional loans for their technology up-gradation requirements. Investments in common infrastructure or facilities by an industry association, trust or co-operative society and other investments specified are also eligible for funding under the scheme. Improved metal frame handlooms used by the handloom weavers have also been covered under the scheme.

Initially, development banks like IDBI, SIDBI and IFCI were selected as the nodal agencies for determining eligibility and disbursal of the subsidies to the textile and jute sector. From October-2005, in addition other nationalized, private and regional banks were also appointed as nodal agencies to take the total of nodal agencies to 122. There is no cap on funding under the scheme and the technology levels have been benchmarked in terms of specified machinery.

Sonobond offers 10 ultrasonic bonders for textile applications

Sonobond Ultrasonics announced that it now has 10 machines,plus several modules for original equipment manufacturers(OEMs),that provide fast, reliable, and cost-effective ultrasonic bonding of woven and nonwoven textile products.

According to Sonobond’s Vice President, Melissa Alleman, “Manufacturers and assemblers can confidently use Sonobond units to bond textiles that are 100% synthetic, as well as blends that have up to 40% natural fibers. Felted filter media are among the nonwoven materials that our machines handle effectively.”

The following is an overview of the ultrasonic bonding equipment for oven textiles and nonwovens currently available from Sonobond Ultrasonics.

The SeamMaster - for General-Purpose Ultrasonic Bonding
The Sonobond SeamMaster seals, “sews,” and trims nonwoven and synthetic fabrics in one quick, reliable step. The unit is similar in appearance and operation to traditional sewing machines, but uses no thread, glue, or other consumables. The SeamMaster fuses and seals seams so effectively that it can be used in the assembly of medical disposables that must comply with OSHA regulations for barrier seams. This makes it ideal for use in the production of gowns, face masks, and mattress covers. The unit—which is up to four times faster than conventional sewing machines and up to 10 times faster than adhesive machines—is also frequently used in the assembly of filters and protective products.

The SeamMaster - High Profile Bonder
The SeamMaster High Profile Bonder has a larger pattern wheel and a higher clearance above the bench than the generalpurpose SeamMaster. This makes it the ideal choice for applications involving bulky materials, hand-guided operations with tight tolerances, and for working around curves. Like the generalpurpose SeamMaster, the High Profile Bonder has fast production speeds and virtually eliminates fraying or unraveling of bonded edges and seams. The SeamMaster High Profile Bonder is especially popular with body armor manufacturers. They use this unit to seal the outer nylon shell of ballistic vests with the ballistic-resistant materials inside. The reliability of the bond helps the body armor comply with the latest National Institute of Justice(NIJ) submersion test standards (NIJ 0101.06) that require protection from submersion for 30 minutes, rather than protection from a spray shower. The unit’s dependability and performance also make it ideal for manufacturers who must satisfy OSHA regulations for barrier seams in medical apparel. In addition, a special fixture is available for sewing pleated filters. It is also available as a modular unit for easy integration into the production process.

KARL MAYER’s HKS 4 F terry machine makes a comeback

The Germans are well-known for their cuckoo clocks, garden gnomes and their craftiness in getting the best places on the beach at holiday destinations all over the world.

At the crack of dawn, they sneak down to the beach to stake their claim on their little bit of sand – using that indispensable item of beach kit – a large beach towel. This soft, loop-pile fabric can do much more than simply act as a textile demarcation line. We use it to dry off and keep warm, it brightens up the bathroom and beach alike, and pampers our skin. Fleecy terry bathrobes and towels, which are soft and colour-coordinated, also make the spa experience even more enjoyable. And, of course, terry fabrics are indispensable for all those cleaning jobs.

These exquisite, high-end textiles can be produced efficiently on KARL MAYER’s HKS 4 F machine. This terry machine processes filaments to produce all the usual terry fabrics with loops on one side only or on both sides, and was refined and improved at the end of 2006, beginning of 2007. The technical improvements have boosted performance by up to 74% and reduced the cost by 25% compared to the previous model. This upgrade sold very well for a time, but was subsequently removed from the range through lack of demand.

Since the middle of this year, however, the wind of change has been blowing on the market for warp-knitted bath/beach textiles and there has been an obvious increase in demand – which was a good enough reason for KARL MAYER to incorporate this tried-and-tested, four-bar, high-speed tricot machine into its range again. The HKS 4 F will be available again as of May 2010. Its impressive technical features include: maximum machine speeds of up to 1,400 min-1, gauges of E 24 and E 28 as standard, and a working width of 136".

Basically, the terry machine is available in two different versions, the HKS 4 FB(Z) and HKS 4 F. The HKS 4 FB(Z) is particularly suitable for producing cotton goods, but can also produce fabrics from filament yarns without any problems. On the other hand, the HKS 4 F can only process filament yarns – but at a much higher speed than the HKS 4 FB(Z).
