HISTORY OF RAYMONDYears ago, when the Singhania family was building, consolidating and expanding its various businesses in Kanpur, one Mr. Wadia was in a similar manner setting up a small woolen mill in the area around Thane creek, 40 kms away from Bombay. The Sassoon’s, a well-known industrialist family of Bombay, soon acquired this mill and renamed it as The Raymond Woolen Mills 1 . Around the same time, the Singhanias aimed to broaden their business horizons. The family’s sharp business foresight led to the acquisition of The Raymond Woolen Mills. The vision and foresight of Mr. Kailashpat Singhania greatly helped in establishing the J.K. Group's presence in the western region. Under his able stewardship, Raymond embarked upon a gradual phase of technological up gradation and modernization; producing woolen Fabrics of a far superior quality. Under Mr. Gopalakrishna Singhania, the mill became a world-class factory and the Raymond brand became synonymous with fine quality woolen Fabrics When Dr. Vijaypat Singhania took over the reins of the company in 1980, he injected fresh vigor into Raymond, transforming it into a modern, industrial conglomerate. His son Mr. Gautam Hari Singhania, the present chairman and managing director has been instrumental in restructuring the group. Today, with a 31 million-meter capacity in wool & wool-blended fabrics, Raymond commands an over 60% market share in worsted suiting in India and ranks amongst the first three fully integrated manufacturers of worsted suiting in the world. We are perhaps the only company in the world to have a diverse product range of nearly 20,000 design and colours of suiting fabric to suit every age, occasion and style. We export these to over 50 countries, including USA, Canada, Europe, Japan and the Middle East. 2 COMPANY PROFILE The Raymond Group was incorporated in 1925; and within a span of a few years, transformed from being an Indian textile major to being a global conglomerate. In our endeavor to keep nurturing quality and leadership, we always choose the path untrodden - from being the first in 1959 to introduce a polywool blend in India to creating the world's finest suiting fabric Today, the Raymond group is vertically and horizontally integrated to provide our customers total textile solutions. Few companies across the globe have such a diverse product range of nearly 12,000 varieties of worsted suiting to cater to customers across age groups, occasions and styles. We manufacture for the world, the finest fabrics- from wool to wool-blended worsted suiting to specialty ring denims as well as high value shirting. After making a mark in textiles, Raymond forayed into garmenting through highly successful ventures like Silver Spark Apparel Ltd. and Regency Texteis Portuguesa Lda (for fine Tailored Suits, Trousers and Jackets), EverBlue Apparel Ltd. (Jeanswear) and Celebrations Apparel Ltd. (Shirts). We also have some of the most highly respected apparel brands in our portfolio: Raymond, Manzoni, Park Avenue, ColorPlus, Parx, Be:, Zapp! and Notting Hill. With a 500 million US$ turnover, we are today one of the largest players in fabrics, designer wear, denim, cosmetics & toiletries, engineering files & tools, prophylactics and air charter services in national and international markets.

Final delivery may be either a ball top (for blending) or bump top (for top dyeing). Though dyeing is an essential and common department. Instead of dyeing the fabrics or yarns the dyeing is carried out when the material is in sliver form. carriers are lifted and taken to the machine. which is very important in our life as well as in textile industry. Colour.

Principal:In this method material is stationary and the dye liquor is moving. soap solution.Main machine have two vertical cylindrical vessels adjacent to it. which contains propeller for agitation of the dye liquor. All dyeing machines are handled by dyeing operators but the working actions of the machines are controlled from main computer control room. 1.10.2. TOP DYEING LAB: This is the heart of the department, because peoples working in this department decide the procedures and the process parameters. Apart from this many other works like, testing various fastness properties of the dyed material, match the shades, check the purity of the chemicals, and check the sublimation properties of the disperse dyes, testing the quality of the blends. 1.11: RECOMBING:Material from the third gill box is fed to the combing machine.

Each trolley contents about 20 tops.1: CONDITIONING:When the tops from combing department are taken to spinning dept. There are two lines. they are carried in a trolley and are kept for conditioning. 28 .2: GILLING:Here tops are opened and gilled and doubled for which 4 passages of gilling are given. The conditioning time is 24 to 48 hrs. And mass per unit length is brought under control which can be fed to roving frame. The conditioning room is closed and the humidifiers are installed in it for humidification. 3.3.2RUBBING FRAME: Objective:* To convert the drawn sliver into a form suitable for spinning in ring frame.to reduce the weight per unit length of the sliver • Twisting: . This machine gives false twist to the fibres. The basic operations that are carried here are 1) Feeding 2) Drafting 3) Rubbing (imparting virtual twist to strengthen the strand of fiber) and 4) Balling or canning. Objectives:• Drafting: .1 ROVING: The sliver is then converted to roving by applying draft and number of doubling operations to make the material uniform. In this case the cohesive force is developed by giving a false twist by the action of rubbing rollers 29 .2.to impart twist to the roving strand • Winding:-to wind the roving onto a suitable package 2. By stretching the rove between the two points.4:QUALITY CHECK: Four bobbins from each machine are taken and checked for U% and wrapping. The snarling capacity is reduced by setting the twist under high pressure and temperature.0 – 4. This is achieved by the process of steaming MATERIAL HANDLING: The supply material to sectional warping are cheeses or cones. For wrapping 1 meter of roving is taken. 2. and the roving is converted in to yarn by roller drafting system. which are taken from yarn room as per requirement. which are carried by trolleys to warping department. Highly twisted yarns are prone to snarling during winding. This is the sign as that required & optimum twist U% is between 4. A draft of 13 to 30 is given and twisted material is wound on a ring bobbin 2.2% Here the final roving is prepared.6 STEAMING:After ring frame the yarn is subjected to steaming. it is required that fiber must be separated or come out without applying high tension.2. After the beam 30 . Along with this TPM is also checked.5 RING FRAME The Rubbing frame bobbins or the roving bobbins are brought to ring frame dept. In weaving. 2.is produced. can be produced in the cloth. as all the yarns are doubled and have got a good abrasion resistance and are strong sufficiently. Individual ends in warp are uniformly spaced across the spaced width. 2. There are some another advantages of doing sectional warping. it is necessary to spread the warp threads properly in order to get required compactness of cloth. Yarn breakages can be easily located.8 DRAWING IN: OBJECTIVE Warping is carried out to convert predetermined package such as cone or cheese into sheet of yarn of specified length and width. strips etc. Passing the warp yarn through the dents of the reed of appropriate count so that cloth woven from warp will contain required numbers of ends effects this. Space required is less as compared to beam warping. 31 . Fancy structures like rib. sizing operation is omitted. To get abrasion resistance wax is applied at warping. the remaining bobbins are again carried to yarn room by trolleys and are store there. which are followed here over beam warping.7 INTRODUCTION: In Raymond Mill. DRAWING IN OPERATION: The operation of drawing in is called out in following manner… One operative called ‘Reacher’ and another one called ‘Drawer’ sits at back and front of the frame respectively. front to back. heald eyes. straighten them up and select the yarn one by one from the one extreme end of loom beam in proper sequence. The reacher then hooks the yarn in the hook and drawer will draw it through healds and reed dent and will knot a bunch of threads at reed to avoid slipping of threads. The reaches takes the bunch of warp threads in his hand. By this time the drawer inserts the hook through the corresponding reed dent. 32 .Also passing of warp threads through drop wires heald wires and the dent of reed is carried out by process known as drawing in. WEAVING WEAVING PROCESS OF RAYMOND TEXTILE 3.1: Flow chart: 33 .3. of yarn is converted onto 21000 Metres of fabric per day.YARN ROOM SECTIONAL WARPING DRAWING. 34 .IN LOOM SHED PERCHING GREY MENDING IN WEAVING 6000 Kg. This quality control section is linked with the main quality control department. Introduction:-In Raymond Mill.3. projectile (SULZER RUTI) and rapier looms (rigid (Dornier) / flexible (NP)). There are total 112 looms working three shifts. That means each loom is producing about 92 meters of fabric per shift. About 12000 meters of linear fabric is produced per day. The number of machines according to make model and loon speed.2: WEAVING Objective:-To produces a fabric of desire construction by interlacement of warp and weft yarn. 35 . there are two types of looms. This department also has a quality control section where day to day quality parameters of the fabrics are checked and necessary action are taken whenever there is some diversion from the norms. which controls the over all quality checks. 36 .3: CHECK ROOM: Check room is provided to check the fabric structure and faults in the fabric according to the piece ticket. Any fault occurred in the sample. otherwise the fabric is not allowed to pass further. Maximum half /one hour is required to check the sample. number of pick are checked. Fabric widths less than 10 mm of reed length are tolerated. the memo is sent to quality control department. Two more PPI is tolerated.3. There are three types of rope dyeing machine: a) Jet overflow M/C. Then it is covered with cotton cloth & is clamped with collar plates. 4. b) Brazzoli overflow dyeing M/C. (In both cheese/cone form and beam form). 2.1 Fabric Dyeing:Fabric dyeing is carried out in either ‘Rope’ form or in ‘Open width’ form. also called as piece dyeing. 4. c) Dalal overflow dyeing M/C.4. 1. The piece which is to be dyed is wound on a perforated cylinder. FABRIC DYEING In this department dyeing is carried out in two forms. Hot water is passed through this cylinder at 70 °C.1 Rope form: Here both piece and liquor are moving.2: Open width form: a) Beam dyeing: Here the piece is stationary and the liquor is circulating. Only in case of jet overflow dyeing liquor is stationary & piece is moving.1. This 37 . Yarn dyeing. Fabric dyeing.1. 4. So it is passed through hot water at 70 °C.batch is then placed in dyeing. jigger dyeing there will be a band formation near the selvedge. b) Jigger dyeing: Jiggers are used for dyeing the terry viscose fabrics. then this effect occurs. For light shades such 2 shades are given while for dark shades 4 cycles are given. After dyeing fabric is passed through rope opener. so 10% levelling is carried out in jigger. here reactive dyes are used.e. Following defects may occur: 1. Uneven dyeing: sometimes patchy dyeing takes place. 4. Moiré: slight waviness in the yarn which can be felt by hand. i. Listing: this defect occurs in viscose dyeing i.e. This effect occurs mainly in beam dyeing. instead of hollow cylinder for placing the top as in case of top dyeing machine. Draining: if drying process is carried out late. Only difference is that here spindles are used for placing the packages on the carrier. there is In-Out & Out-In flow of the liquor which is controlled automatically. 38 . There will be lines on the fabric. For this 5-10% levelling is carried out. c) Cheese dyeing: The cheese dyeing machines are similar to top dyeing machines. 2. 3. Before dyeing the pieces are wound on Let-off rollers then they are passed through the tank containing dyes and then they are wound on Take-up rollers. piece is redyed. There is no way of correcting this fault. of faults occurring in that particular length of fabric.K Bombay Ltd. so fabric is cut at the section.3FINISH MENDING: Here all types of defects are detected and the fabrics are classified into ‘A’. 12 meters for civil.’D’ groups depending upon the type and the no.
