21. ROPE SCOURING AUTOMATION
APPLICATION
We have Rope Scouring m/c for secondary washing
& softening of fabric. The fabric gets stiffed after
the process of singeing and heat setting. This fabric
is treated with chemical in the rope scouring
machine to remove stiffness as well as stains.
21
22. NEED
Earlier Operation of machine was manual. There were
lot of problems/negligence during operation of the
machine and it is not traceable easily. The whole
system was studied by group of engineers. The study
reveled that the inconsistency in fabric was due to
the following points
Cycle Time.
Quantity of chemical added
Quantity of water taken.
Speed of machine. 22
23. SOLUTION
To automate the m/c it was decided
to use distributed control system, and
then all the m/c were connected to
central SCADA system. Individual m/c
is automated and connected through
Ethernet link. For automation the
hardware used were DP transmitter,
Temperature sensor and transmitter,
Level switch etc. The electrical panel
for this automation was Designed and
built In house.

25. Automation of Chemical
Dispensing System
The Application
We have rope scouring m/c for
secondary washing of Fabric. After the
Singing and Heat setting the fabric
gets stiff so the fabric is treated and
washed here for wool setting and soft
touch. Four types of chemicals are
used for this purpose.
Non Ionic Detergent
Non Ionic Softener 25
Soda
26. The Need
Previously the m/c were running in manual mode and
the chemical were added through Jars and Buckets .
Chemicals were added according to slab of 50 kg
lot. This was crude method. Due to this there was lot
of variation in Quality of fabric.
Also there was very
high potential of
saving the
chemicals. So to
optimize the
resources Automatic
Dispensing System
was a good option.
26
27. The Solution
A team of engineering comprising of Mechanical
,Electrical, Instrumentation as well as Process engineer
studied together and came out with a solution which
was very accurate and user Friendly.
The system is divided into 2 Parts.
Chemical Preparation and Loading
Dispensing system
27
28. Loading Station
The Quantity of chemical to be loaded in Storage tanks is
entered into the Computer and automatically the water
to be loaded is calculated . The chemical and water
loading is done through constant flow gear pump. The
magnetic flow meter is installed in delivery of gear pump
which measures the quantity to be loaded accurately.
28
29. Dispensing System
As per the program no. and the weight of the lot,
chemicals requirement is computed and a request is
send to the PLC of dispenser by the PLC of m/c. Which in
turns send the required quantity of chemical to the
dispensing PLC. Once the PLC gets call from the m/c the
valve of the particular chemical tank dose the chemical
to the open tank. The open transmitter measures mass of
the chemical and gives feed back to the PLC. DP
Transmitter on the theory of “Bubbler System” in open
Vessel does the measurement of chemical.
As soon as the measurement is over, the water
flushing valve flushes the entire System. This
chemical and water is transferred to m/c through
Centrifugal Pump. After dispensing the chemical
& water, the air is blown in the pipe so that no
29
residuals remain in pipe.
30. AIR WASHER TOWER
AUTOMATION
CONCEPT of automation was to centralize the
monitoring and control of all the towers from one
place and keeping in view of the Energy
conservation aspect. All the systems, available in
the market at present use the custom built
controller. Energy conservation aspect is also not
considered whereas in our system, we have used
PLC and the software logic with a view to conserve
energy without compromising the departmental
requirement for Relative Humidity and temperature.
30
31. Central Monitoring and control
In this system all the towers are connected to the
central control room through Ethernet LAN. All the
towers are monitored and controlled from one
computer.
SCADA software is loaded in the PC to acquire and
store the data of various towers. This data is
processed and then displayed on the screen.
Different screens are developed to view the status
like Trend, settings etc. The settings for different
process parameters and the Dampers Position of all
the Towers can be changed from the central control
Room. Also reports are generated to give the status
of individual user departments. On the mimic page,
31
we can view the actual running of the tower.

33. AUTOMATION OF DYEING PROCESS
Dyeing process whether it is piece
dyeing, top dyeing or cheese dyeing the
time factor, the cooling - heating cycle
and correct quantity of chemicals and
dyes is very important. Dyeing process
consists of many different steps. The
process also differs from lot to lot. As the
system was totally manual the rate of
human error and wastage is very high
leading to variation in shed. 33
34. To avoid these all it is decided to have
automatic color and chemical dispensing
system. In the first phase all the machines
were automated in-house by
multiprogramming. For the automation,
we have changed the internal piping
system and the safety requirement. The
complete process is studied for the
programming.
34
35. After completion of all machine
automation, the color service system is
installed. Color Service system handles
the chemical & dyes and dispenses as per
the exact requirement of machine. All the
machines were connected with color
service through pipe line
