 INTRODUCTION:

Cotton mill industry, one of the labour intensive traditional sectors plays an important
role in absorbing rural unskilled labour force. Even though these medium and large scale
industries had existed since late 19th century and initiate the industrialisation process of the
state, the present situation is gloomy.

The first cotton mills were established in the 1740s to house roller spinning machinery
invented by Lewis Paul and John Wyatt. The machines were the first to spin cotton
mechanically “ without the intervention of human fingers”. They closed down in 1837 but
reopened with Dwarkanath Tagore as a major shareholder, and by 1840 lay at the center of a
major industrial complex powered by five steam engines, that included a twist mill, foundry
and a rum distillery.

In this mill, the raw materials (cotton) has comes Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat,
Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. It is transported through truck. Here, production is done
through 8 machines. Each machine named as mixing (or) Blow room, Carding, Breaker,
Drawing, Simplex, and Spinning, Auto corner (or) winding and Packaging.

The product is produced according to count wise such as 38,39,40, and 41 counts. After
this process, it is turned into finished goods as Yarn. These goods are sending to the
customers after getting order from those customers. These goods are transported through
truck. The unit price of the product is not constant.

In this mill, they are providing canteen facilities for the workers. They are also
providing crèche facilities for women workers. They are providing leave facilities as rotation
basis. They are providing Tea for the workers refreshments in the working time.

The textile industry is undergoing a major re-orientation towards non clothing

application of textiles, known as technical textiles, which are growing roughly at twice the
rate of textiles for clothing application an now account for half of total textile production. The
process involved in producing technical textiles requires expensive equipment and skilled
workers and are, for the moment, concentrated in developed countries.

Textile industry is providing one of the most basic needs of people and the holds
importance; maintaining sustained growth for improving quality of life. It has a unique
position as a self-reliant industry, from the production of raw materials to the delivery of

2
finished products, with substantial value-addition at each stage of processing; it is a major
contribution to the country’s economy.

Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres, suitable for use in the production of
textiles, sewing, knitting, weaving, embroidery. Thread is a type of yarn intended for sewing
by hand or machine. Modern manufactured sewing threads may be finished with wax or other
industries. Cotton is not only consumed to the highest extent in India but it has also become
one of the most profitable textiles in the export industry.

Since the beginning of civilisation, man has learned that following the harvest of the
cotton fruit, he must separate the seed and the actual textile industry. Using special
equipment, he can obtain yarn, a resistant and uniform product that is also thin. Although the
process is a difficult one, the most ancient findings related to cotton fabric reflect that the
textile mastery of ancient Greeks included a remarkable operative capacity and achieved
excellent levels of quality, even in the production of yarns and cotton fabrics.

All the products of a textile industry must be made of highlighting and at a reasonable
rate to tolerate commercial success for a very long term. This process requires continuous
modernization and development of innovative modern technology from raw material to end
product. In this, highly developed machines are discussed, which has a remarkable impact on
time-saving, better yarn quality and cost-effective.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Indian Spinning industry has gone from strength to strength since a very long time now as it
was the hub of cotton manufacturing. Cotton is not only consumed to the highest extent in
India but it has also become one of the most profitable textiles in the export industry.

The spinning industry in India is on set to hit the global market with other fabrics as
well like the cotton textiles with its enthusiasm and consistency in work. It has already
reached a phenomenal status in India by beating the obstacles that caused a downfall since
past few years and is now on its way to cover a wider area in the spinning sector. The Indian
textile industry textile industry is predominantly cotton based with 70 percent fabric
production being accounted for by cotton.

The Indian textile industry is one of the largest in the world with a massive raw
material and textiles manufacturing base. Our economy is largely dependent on the textile
manufacturing and trade in addition to other major industries. About 27% of the foreign
exchange earnings are on account of export of textiles and clothing alone. The textiles and
clothing sector contributes about 14% to the industrial production and 3% to the gross
domestic product of the country.

Around 8% of the total excise revenues for as is contributed by the textile industry. So
much so, the textile industry for as large as 21% of the total employment generated in the
economy. Around 35 mills on people are directly employed in the textile manufacturing
activities. Indirect employment including the manpower engaged in agricultural based raw-
material production like cotton and related trade and handling could be stated to be around
another 60 million.

A textile is the largest single industry in India, according for about 20% of the total
industrial production. It provides direct employment to around 20 million people. Textile and
clothing exports account for one-third of the total value of exports from the industry. There
are 1227 textile mills with a spinning capacity of about 29 million spindles. While yarn is
mostly produced in the mills, fabrics are produced in the power loom and handloom sectors
as well.

The Indian textile industry continues to be predominantly based on cotton, with about
65% of raw materials consumed being cotton. The yearly output of cotton cloth was 12.8

5
billion m. The manufacture of jute products ranks next in importance to cotton weaving.
Textile is one of the India’s oldest industries and has a formidable presence in the national
economy in as much as it contributes to about 14% of manufacturing value-addition, accounts
for around one-third of our gross export earnings and provides gainful employment to
millions of people. They include cotton and jute growers, artisans and weavers who are
engaged in the organized as well as decentralised and household sectors spread across the
entire country.

Textile industry is providing one of the most basic needs of people and the holds
importance; maintaining sustained growth for improving quality of life. It has a unique
position as a self-reliant industry, from the production of raw materials to the delivery of
finished products, with substantial value-addition at each stage of processing; it is a major
contribution to the country’s economy. This paper deals with structure, growth and size of the
Indian textile industry in economy, key advantages of the industry, textile industry export and
global scenario and strength, weakness, opportunities and treats of the Indian textile industry.

Around 35 million people are directly employed in the textile industry manufacturing
activities. Indirect employment including the manpower engaged in agricultural based raw-
materials production like cotton and related trade and handling could be stated to around 60
million.

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

The department where the actual process of manufacturing or production is carried out. It is
engaged is converting the raw materials into finished goods by performing some material and
machine operations on any part of the product. The number of such departments will depend
upon nature at industry type of work performed ad size of the factory.

The following are the types of cotton which are produced in the Sundaram textiles,
Nanguneri. The cotton which is produced is as follows.

 Ordinary cotton
 Polyester cotton
 Cotton with high quality
 Doubled threads

ORDINARY COTTON

This is the ctton which is produced ordinarily. This cotton is low quality cotton
which is used for threads and some others goods with low quality. This is selling in low price.
So there is no better demand for this product. But there goods are sold well in the market.

POLYESTER COTTON

This is the cotton which is used for stitching the textile with quality. This is mainly
bought by the textile company. This brought cost somewhat higher than the ordinary cotton.
This had better demand in the open market and other area.

COTTON WITH HIGH QUALITY

This type of cotton is made with the help of gases. The machine which product the gas
can made this high quality of cotton. This cotton is pure and quality. The cost much in market
and had better demand.

DOUBLED COTTON

This is the thread which is produced with the help of the winding machines. This
machine make thread with double strong and this is mainly used in stitching the books. This
cost less in market what demand is more for this product.

17
MIXING

In practice single cotton never used to spin a lot of yarn two or more different varieties of
cotton are mixed thoroughly to get a mixing. Why missing is necessary because firstly, it may
not be possible to get identical qualities of cotton. A thorough mixing of two or more types of
cotton helps in producing uniform quality of yarn. Secondly by mixing a less expensive
variety with a good variety it is possible reduce the cost of yarn while achieving the desired
level of quality.

PRE OPENER

This is stage of production in which the raw cotton is put into machinery in which the
waste is removed with the help of blow machine. The cleaned cotton is then passed to the
other machine, it is a continuous processes which ends up with only good cotton. Once cotton
is opened and cleaned it is transferred to mixing chamber, there the open cotton is converted

18
to cotton laps with rods supporting it. Each lap is 24.5kg excluding rods. These rods are
separated according to quality requirement which are identified on the bases of colour given
to rods and then these laps are carried to next stage.

BLOW ROOM

To open the compressed layer of bale cotton. To remove the impurities like sand,
seed bits and short fibres present in the cotton with minimum loss of good cotton. For better
mixing and blending. To convert cotton fibres into a thick uniform sheet called lap. Then it
transfers the materials to various other machine of the blow room line for further process. It
reduces impurities such as seeds, leafs, etc and the cotton comes in parallel level.

CARDING

In this stage cotton laps are loaded in machinery in which the laps are converted into
sliver. This sliver is collected in multiple cans; again this sliver is identified with colour of
cans for different quality. This is the stage in which the cotton laps are softened to form
sliver. From this stage the sliver is passed to next stage. The lap is then taken to the cooling

19
M/c the carding machine works the cotton between two sets of fine wire points. The most
important function performed here is the individualization of fibres. The blow room laps
contains several tufts each consisting of a single fibres. These tufts needs to be opened further
and separated as for as possible into a single fibres. The individualised fibres are delivered in
the form of a thin web by the working surface of the card. The web is condensed into an
almost circular stand, called sliver. The slivers are stored in cans.

COMBER

Comber is the process which is used to upgrade the raw materials. It influences the
years, quality, strength, cleanliness, smoothness and visual appearances of yarn. In addition
to the comber cotton needs as twist than curd yarn. It also eliminates the short fibres, neps
and remaining impurities. When sliver is passed the scanning roller then it measures the
thickness of material.

DRAWING

The fibres is the card sliver are placed in a very haphazard fashion and therefore the
card sliver does not lend itself to produce good quality of yarn. It is therefore necessary to

20
parallelise the fibres before the slivers can be drawn out into the final yarn form. This process
of parallelisation is done to the drawing frame in which 12 sliver cans are feeded to machine.
This 12 cans are converted to 6 cans and then these 6 cans are passed to next machine in
which these cans are feeded and 8 such cans are converted into 1 can after drawing is
completed, these cans are passed to next stage.

SIMPLEX

Simplex is the intermediaries machine between draw and the ring frame as
spinning. The purpose of simplex is to produce out of draw frame as well prepared moving of
required as well as prepare bobbin for ringframe. It drafts the material to linear density and
inserts minimum required level of twist; It produces the suitable package for next process and
reduce thickness of sliver.

SPINNING

Ring spinning is the last stage of conservation of fibre to yarn completed. It

converts roving into required count and wind the yarn on the cop. Ring spinning is the last
machine in the spinning section.

21
PACKING

After ring frame of spinning they pack the yarn. All the yarn bobbins weight 2kg, they
pack 30 bobbins or cone per bag and distribute the order. Yarns are manufactured from
cottons. This company bought the raw material from Coimbatore. They check the raw
materials quality before they bought. If the raw materials are low quality, they never bought
that for production.

CONCLUSION

39
 In this internship an attempt was made to study about the organization, the various
departments in the organization, and to secure practical knowledge regarding HR functions,
financial activities, production process, the marketing process., the marketing process etc.
involved in Sundaram cotton mill.

While doing the study, it came to know the fact that the textile and clothing industry is
the single most export earner around 20% of the gross exports earning for India. Our country
holds second position in the world market in the field of yarn production.

It is very hard to get cotton. The condition of Textile industry is getting declining day by
day especially in South India. It is mainly due to the non-availability of credit and lack of
modernization in the field of yarn production. These are not only the reason behind this
declining stage but it is mainly due to uncertain risk behind the raw material, i.e., Cotton.
