PRODUCTION HOUSE
ASM has Six production units where different production process is being carried out. At ASM
the following process for the production of yarn is being followed viz.
MIXING DEPARTMENT
Raw material received in bales is opened up manually and workers take out
foreign matters. Raw material of different qualities is mixed to give an even
effect to the yarn. Then workers in which it is kept for 24 hours to enable it to
acquire department conditions as regards to humidity and temperature place this
sorted material in bins.
BLOW ROOM
Raw material passes though a number of openings and cleaning machines, which
give through opening, and extracts out material impurities from the raw material. The material
automatically goes into carding through chute feed system.
CARDING REQURIMENT
The material received though chute feed system is further opened up into
individual fibers and cleared. The ultimate product of these machines is called sliver, which is
a long strand of opened and cleaned fiber. The strand of fiber is collected into containers called
cans.
COMBING DEPARTMENT
Combing process is done only for superior quality of yarn. In combing
process short fibers are extracted out and the fibers having desired lengths are
allowed to go in the combed slivers. This is transferred Draw Frame Department
DRAWFRAME DEPARTMENT
The objectives of DrawFrame are to parallellise and eliminate long and short
variation within the body of carding sliver. The card cans are brought full of carding
sliver and 16 cans are fed behind each draw frame at one time and the process is
repeated as to give further parallelization effect and for the elimination of variation.
SPEED FRAME
Draw Frame sliver though very well cleaned is quite thick; to produce yarn from such sliver it
needs further thinning on subsequent machines called Speed Frames. Draw Frames Cans full
of sliver are brought behind the speed frame manually and they are drafted as stated above
into thick strands of fibers called Roving. The Roving is warped around, the bobbins, total
contents being about 1.25 Kg.
RING FRAME
The roving bobbins of the speed frame are bought to and crewed on
Ring Frame. These machines convert the Roving into yarn. These machines further
attenuate and draft the Roving to the desired thickness of yarn, which is the wound
on bobbins.
WINDING DEPARTMENT
Here yarn is wounded again on cones, total weight is approx. 2 kg of yarn. This is
done on winding machines. The cones are then send to packing department where bags of 50 kg are
made to be sent to the market.
MAINTEINANCE DEPARTMENT
Analysis of breakdowns.
Ratio of downtimes too available operating time.
Ratio of other maintenance holds ups to available operating time.
Review of maintenance costs.
Review of major replacement.
Review of maintenance function and performance.
Review of training program.
Review of work done by the maintenance personnel.
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
The engineering department has two source of power supply. It purchases power from
HPSE Board (Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board) at 266 kV and it also generates power
with in the premise of ASM at 6.6 KV.
The procedure underlines the system and methods relation to the functional
responsibilities of Industrial Relations department, i.e. man power planning, recruitment, time
office functioning, training and development, grievance handling, welfare and colony
administration etc. The system has been designed to provide better services to the human
resource and helping them achieving the quality standards as required under ISO 9002.
TRAINING DEPARTMENT
Training and development has been regarded as an important tool for the improvement of
skills level, work habits, development of positive attitude of the worker and upgrading the
system. Training and development servers as an important means for preparing workers for
modified performance standards, improvement of quality of product and reducing
absenteeism, accidents and material wastage.
COSTING AND MIS
Costing and MIS is important as it acts like a planning department, where all the budgeting
exercise is conducted. This helps in having a proper-laid plan for future. Budgets are prepared
on annual and monthly basis. Then every month end, the performance is reviewed unit wise
by preparing certain MIS reports. These are then put forward in front of top management and
then the targets are set for future, keeping in the earlier performance.
It also includes product costing and standard costing which deals with deciding the
prices of the yarn to be quoted in the market according to the prevailing market conditions.
The marketing department forecasts the quantity of yarn which they can sell and the
production department reports the amount of yarn which the unit can produce. The costing
department then makes the annual and monthly budgets. The budget includes the following
factors:
Labour wages
Raw material
Packing material
Electricity
Transport (raw material and dispatch)
Maintenance cost incurred during production run.
MATERIALS DEPARTMENT
The main function of the material department is to procure all the materials except raw
material like packing material, electrical material, machines spares parts, oil & lubricants, fuel
and building material, furniture and fixtures and administration equipment. It helps in providing
the various request made by all the departments in an effective and efficient way so that there
is no wastage of time.
ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT
Accounts department is mainly responsible for generation of all kinds of financial reports and
book keeping. The main activity for which the accounts are responsible are book-keeping,
payments (payment to suppliers, salaries to employees etc.), compliance with law i.e. income
tax, sales tax etc., insurance function etc.
SECURITY
It deals with providing security for the company’s property, company’s information and
personnel security. As and when a person enters the premises of VSM he has to report to the
security cell, to define the purpose of visit and then he is guided to the right person at the first
go. Security also performs the following functions:-
Fire safety
Transportation
Housekeeping
Horticulture
Postal services
Maintenance of Club
Keeping pace with government and outside persons.

HUMIDIFICATION PLANT
The basic objective of an H-plant in a textile mill is to condition the air so that
the fibers can be processed easily by supplying the conditioned air to
department. The hot air laden with dust and fly from the department is carried
out by underground suction ducts through exhaust fans. The fibers are sucked
on the surface of the cylinder covered with a special type of blanket and finally
the fibers are removed by stripping.
In winter season the air is reintroduced in the department for maintaining the
required temp. The fresh air is sucked form the outer through the supply fans
to cool down the department. Sometimes the water droplets are mixed with
the supply air for maintaining the humidity between 55-60%. Bigger droplets
are taken out by the eliminator plate before sending humid air to department.

devices (spark detectors).
Material separation: actively and reliably protects cleaners
and cards from metal particles.
Cleaning line is protected even at high production
rates (of over 2000 kg/h).
Multi function heavy part separator that works reliably
even at high production rates (of over 2000 kg/h).
Integrated micro-computer system offers precise
control of suction, heavy part separation, metal
separation, dust removal / air separation, waste
feeding.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:-
METAL DETECTOR:
Material contains certain metallic pieces even after sorting cotton. If these
pieces allow going through the B/R machines then they may lead to damage
various parts of machines like they may leads to damage the clothing of beaters.
So these should be removed before passing the material to the next machine.
PRINCIPAL OF METAL DETECTOR:
Metal detector works on the principle of variation in mass.
As material is transported by the air through the ducts so on the mass of cotton
transported should be uniform. It contains the plated of capacitor
through which cotton is transported. As any metal particle comes in duct and it
passes through the plates of capacitor refractive index between the plates of
capacitor varies. It gives the signal to block the line which passes the material to
other machine and it also gives the signal to open the duct of EMA. So the cotton
having metal particle is ejected to EMA where these are collected in EMA trolley.

MAXIFLOW
Maxi flow contains two cylinder having needles with very low point density each
cylinder having its own set of grid bars under it and both are moving in opposite
direction. When material is passed through these cylinders spikes of the
cylinders do the beating action on the material. It throws the material over the
grid bars having its particular settings according to trash present in the material.
Heavy trash particles are removed through the spacing
between grid bars. In the mean time material flows from bottom to the top and
goes to the exhaust pipe.
OBJECTIVES:
To separate air from material
To remove trash and dust particles
MACHINE COMPONENTS:
Pinned beaters
Grid bars
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
The material input vertically and freely in the machine through
the feed duct.
There are two roller beaters with rod type spikes inside the
chamber.
Input material is opened and cleaned by the material.
The dust particles, seed coats and other foreign materials are
separated from the tufts by beating action
Separated trashes are deposited in trash-chamber via grid-bars.
Beaters rotate in same direction and transport the material
towards the output duct.
IMPORTANT SETTINGS:
Grid bar settings-:
Increase in grid bar settings will increase the amount of waste
percentage removal.
Pin roller speed-:
As the pin roller speed increases the intensity of fiber opening
increases.
MACHINE SPECIFICATION:-
Sr. No.:- 80
Designation :- MFC
Type no.:- 053.2501
Year of manufacture :- 2005
Working principle:
Tufts feed through the chute via air-pressure of fan in feed tube.
By the variation of air pressure in chambers of MPM, the
material feed accordingly. From the feed side to delivery side.
When one chamber is getting full, the material flows to the next
chamber for filling that. This process continues from feed side
to delivery side.
After feeling one chamber, the material starts to move to the
conveyer chain, which is in the bottom of chambers, by the feed
roll couple.
In between the flow from chamber to conveyer belt the opening
of tuft, also get done by a set of opening roller.
According to this process, blending is being done on the basis of

CARDING
Carding is carried out by passing entangled fibers between closely spaced surfaces of
cylinder and flats covered with sharp metal teeth .The surfaces are moved relative to
each other as a result of which fibers get disentangled.
INTRODUCTION:
In carding, the opening of cotton is done to the fibre-
level.
In carding operation, the absolute cleaning and opening
of fibre done. Theoretically, 70% of cleaning done in
carding.
Here neps removal of fiber done.
The ultimate quality of yarn is based on the carding
operation mostly.
Carding deals with the fibre arrangements in yarn. Better
the carding action, tends to better quality of yarn.
This is why, carding is called “The heart of spinning”.

COMBER
Combing is the process which is used to upgrade the raw material. It influences the
following yarn quality
yarn evenness
strength
cleanness
smoothness
visual appearance
In addition to the above, combed cotton needs less twist than a carded yarn
INTRODUCTION:
Combing is the most important process for producing the
quality-yarn. In Comber, the removal of short fibre is being
done. So, to produce the yarn quality better to best, the
comber is the most important process
OBJECTIVE:
Elimination of a precisely predetermined quantity of
short fibers.
Elimination of the remaining impurities.
Elimination of neps in the fiber material.
Formation of sliver having maximum possible fibre
parallization
.
TASK OF THE COMBER
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
Feed Feed rollers move, lap sheet forward bya small amount
(4.3 - 6.7 mm), while nippers are kept open.
Nipping Upper nipper plate is lowered onto cushion plate, so
that the fibers are clamped between them.
Rotary combing Combing segment, mounted on rotating cylinder, sweeps
saw-teeth through fiber fringe and carries away
anything not held by the nippers.
Nippers forward The nippers open again and move toward detaching
rollers.
Web Return Meanwhile detaching rollers have returned part of the
previously drawn-off stock by means of a reverse rotation, so
that the web protrudes from the back of the detaching device.
Piecing In the course of the forward movement of the nippers, the
projecting fiber fringe is placed on the returned web.
Detaching The detaching rollers begin to rotate in the forward direction
again and draw the clamped fibers out of web held fast by
feed rollers (inside the nippers).
Combing Cycle Contrary to the movements of the other parts, the combing
cylinder rotates continuously. During this rotation and at a
certain instant the combing segment is brought into the
vicinity of a rapidly revolving brush mounted below the
combing cylinder. During this process, this the brush
removes the imperfections, dust etc., from the combing
segment, and ejects them into an
extractor that carries the noil away to a collecting filter
system.
LINE DIAGRAM OF COMBER:
TYPES OF FEEDS:
Forward feed (concurrent feed):Feed of the sheet into the nippers occurs
while the nippers move towards the detaching roller
Backward feed (counter-feed): Feed of the sheet occurs during return of the
nippers.

INTRODUCTION:
Finisher Draw Frame is the final zone for quality control
of product.
Here the doubling and drafting of combed liver is being
done.
The purpose of Finisher Draw Frame is to maintain the
final uniformity the product as well as the yarn.
Finisher Draw Frame is functioned with the operations
of Autoleveller.
OBJECTIVES:
To maintain the uniformity of Combed sliver.
Levelling the unevenness by the control of Autoleveller.
Final attenuation of fibres.
Final parallelisation of fibres
To make sliver with maximum possible evenness.
To make required hank for input in speed frame.
MATERIAL FLOW DIAGRAM IS GIVEN BELOW:

AUTOLEVELLING:
RSB-40, RSB-40-C both are autoleveller. Here when sliver is passed through the
scanning rollers then it measures the thickness of material. Scanning rollers are
connected to the signal generator which converts thickness variation in the
electronic signals. These signals are compared by standard value by the electronic
memory and then it gives the signal to the servo drive to maintain the proper draft
with particular thickness.
WORKING PRINCIPLE-:
The combed sliver is being fed to the Finisher D/F.
Doubling of 6 sliver is done
The Autoleveller sensing system senses the unevenness of
sliver in feed side.
The signal is send to the correction zone.
According to the signal, the power of middle and back roller is
controlled.
According to the variations of power, the speed of middle and
back roller is being adjusted.
So, the break draft and main draft is being adjusted with the
autoleveller signal.
The irregularity of sliver is adjusted with the changing of draft.
Thus, the sliver irregularity is being checked.

The package obtained from ring spinning contains a vry less amount of yarn making it difficult to be
used in the processes of weaving Knitting etc. Thus the smaller ring frame bobbins are required to
be converted into the larger packages.
Also the yarn obtained from ringframe contains many faults such as thick and thin places, slubs ad
neps. Thus to come out of these problems winding machine is employed.
OBJECTIVES OF WINDING
To convert the small packages into bigger packages
To remove the faults (thick and thin places).
To form a package of suitable shape and density which is easy to store and manage.
Machines used for the process of winding are known as winding machines.
Autoconer is the winding machine used at ASM for the winding purpose.
AUTOCONER
Autoconer is a M/c for automatic winding of cross wound packages. The autoconer
represents an autonomous, compact winding machine with integrated drive, with a splicer on each
winding unit, and with a corresponding sub pressure supply. Plug type connections are provided for
electricity and compressed air supply.
WORKING:
As shown in the diagram bobbin is held on bobbin holder.
Now the yarn from bobbin is passed through loop gate and then from unwinding accelerator
which controls the ballooning of yarn. After this the yarn is passed
through lower yarn sensor and then from tensioning assembly which provides the proper
tension for yarn to form a compact package.
Now the next assembly is the splicer which along with the cooperation of
suction arm and griper arm accomplishes the splicing of yarn whenever yarn breakage takes
place. Here the suction arm provides the upper end of yarn and griper arm provides the lower
end of yarn for splicer. Next to the splicer there is an electronic yarn clearer which senses the
unevenness in the yarn and cuts the faults. Next is the yarn tension sensing device which
senses the yarn tension and sends the signal to pre- tensioner whenever tension changes.
After this there is a waxing assembly which rotates continuously to apply the wax uniformly.
Just after the waxing assembly there is a yarn trap which traps the extra or broken yarn. Now
the last is the winding assembly which is having a grooved drum and cradles. Cradles hold
the cone and drum provides the traversing motion to the yarn.

INTRODUCTION:
After preparation of cone, the conditioning is of package is very much
important.
To maintain the quality of package and for appropriate weight of package,
conditioning is being done.
OBJECTIVE:
To maintain the appropriate weight of package.
To increase the strength of package.
To increase the luster of package.
To increase the serviceability.
UV Room:
Before passing the material to conditioning room material is checked in UV room for checking
whether whole of the yarn is of same material.
Preconditioning room:
After passing the yarn through UV room yarn is kept in the precondition room for 2 hours where
yarn gets moisture of 7-8%. Not all the material is passed through the preconditioning room, it
depends upon the requirement of customer.
Input of package in

This department performs the testing of the cotton fibres of various varieties the company uses. When the
bales arrive, a certain % of bales are used for checking the parameters. It is important as it aids in deciding
which quality of bales to use in a certain order of yarn. After testing the parameters, the mixing ratio is decided
according to the requirements of the end product. The cotton from bales undergoes testing in 3 kinds of
machine. They are:
