- Maintaining the right humidity and temperature is crucial in the textile industry to ensure high-quality production and smooth operations.
- Different departments like spinning, weaving, dyeing, printing, and finishing require specific climate conditions to prevent fabric defects, static electricity, and material shrinkage.
What are the Parameters are used in Textiles Area
- Humidity
- Temperature
- Moisture content
- Gas level
- Differential pressure switch
- PH,TDS Control
- Flow measurement
- Fire Alarm systems

1. BLOW-ROOM DEPARTMENT
- In blow room the tuft size of cotton becomes smaller and smaller.
- In a word we can say a section in which the supplied compressed bales are opened, cleaned & blending or mixing to form uniform lap of specific length is called Blow room section.

2. CARDING DEPARTMENT
Carding,
in textile production, a process of separating individual fibers, using a
series of dividing and redividing steps, that causes many of the fibers to
lie parallel to one another while also removing most of the remaining
impurities.
| Material | Relative humidity | Temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 50-55 % | 27-35 °C |
| Viscose | 50-60 % | 27-35 °C |
| Polyster | 50-60 % | 27-35 °C |

3. PREPARATORY (DRAWING) DEPARTMENT
- Drawing, also called Drafting, in yarn manufacture, process of attenuating the loose assemblage of fibers called sliver (q.v.) by passing it through a series of rollers, thus straightening the individual fibers and making them more parallel.
| Material | Relative humidity | Temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 50-55 % | 27-35 °C |
| Viscose | 50-60 % | 27-35 °C |
| Polyster | 50-60 % | 27-35 °C |

4. COMBER DEPARTMENT
- The comber is used in the production of medium, medium-fine and fine yarns. Within overall spinning process, the combing operation serves to improve the raw material.Yarn production is low, while generation of noil is high.

5. SIMPLEX DEPARTMENT
- Simplex is an intermediate process in which fibers are converted into low twist lea called roving.
- The sliver which is taken from draw frame is thicker so it is not suitable for manufacturing of yarn.
- Its purpose is to prepare input package for next process.

6. SPINNING DEPARTMENT
- Spinning is the process of taking textile fibers and filaments and making them into yarn.
- Spinning involves many methods and different machines, depending on what kind of yarn is being made.
| Material | Relative humidity | Temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 50-60 % | 27-35 °C |
| Viscose | 50-60 % | 27-35 °C |
| Polyster | 55-60 % | 27-35 °C |
7. AUTO CONER (WINDING) DEPARTMENT
- The Autoconer is highly automated. It winds spun cotton yarn from cops to cones, analysing it as it winds.
- Any faults are detected by the machine and cut before the yarn is spliced back together.

8. TFO DEPARTMENT
- The method of twisting two or more single yarns is called doubling or folding or ply twisting.
- Such yarns are designated as doubled yarn, folded yarn or plied yarn and the machines intended for the purpose are called doublers, ply-twisters or two-for-one (TFO) twisters.
- Two-For-One (TFO) is a two-stage process where the yarns are doubled and then twisted.
- In TFO process two or more single yarns are twisted in order to enhance.

9. OE DEPARTMENT
- Open-end spinning is a technology for creating yarn without using a spindle.
- The O.E. machines that are now in market boasts of many a basic needs like, longer length of machine, higher speeds, able to process coarser hank, fewer
- Bigger supply of cans to open-end and bigger packages to weaving.
- In Weaving Department maintain (55-60 %) of RH.
- In Weaving Department maintain (30-35 °C ) of TEMP.
| Material | Relative humidity | Temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 55-60 % | 30-35 °C |
| Viscose | 50-60 % | 30-35 °C |
| Polyster | 55-60 % | 30-35 °C |
10. SIZING DEPARTMENT
- Sizing is the process of giving a protective coating on the warp yarn to minimize yarn breakage during weaving.
- Sizing is the most important operation in preparing warp yarn for weaving especially with cotton yarn.

12. DYEING DEPARTMENT
- Dyeing and printing processes are value added treatment for most textile materials.
- A dyeing process is the interaction between a dye and a fibre, as well as the movement of dye into the internal part of the fibre.
Temperature:
- For cotton Pre-treatment: 98°C,
- For cotton Biopolishing: 55°C,
- Cotton Dyeing: 50 - 60°C,
- During Turquise: 80°C,
- During Isothermal: 80°C,
- Red special: 60°C,
- White dyeing: 80°C,
- For Polyester Dyeing: 130°C,
- For Cotton Soaping: 98°C,
- Temperature during Softening & fixing: 40°C,
- For Cotton hot wash: 70 – 90°C,
- For Cotton Acid wash: 50 – 60°C,

13.PRINTING DEPARTMENT
- In the best conditions the paper is designed to be stable in a 45 – 55% relative humidity (RH) at 72°F environment.
- Excess moisture deteriorates textile printing quality, reduces elasticity and tensile strength of certain fabrics, causes machine damage and slow down the production and drying process.

| Printing |
14.GARMENTS DEPARTMENT
- The garments department is responsible for converting fabric into finished clothing. It involves several key sections, each playing a crucial role in the production process.
- Garments maintain a relative humidity (RH) of 60% lower.
