Spinning Department
The machines here thin and twist the roving fibre creating a continuous yarn which is winded into a bobbin. The consistency in the size of the yarn is a vital parameter. Fine fluff originates during this process and continuously deposits on the surface and surrounding. KPR textiles, uses the Wide area V-sweeper and one metre Eze mop to sweep the dust regularly.
Weaving Department
The power-loom machine weaves the cloth, using the warp and wept yarn. This shop floor needs scrubbing periodically. The storch used in the sizing process along with the cotton fibre makes the shop floor dirty. C.R Mills of Somanur uses auto scrubber to effectively scrub the weaving section.
Summer India Textiles, a leading textile company, Uses a Hakomatic B750R ride on scrubber to maintain their weaving section. This machine scrubs floors and removes dirt, muck and storch efficiently in the winding, warping, sizing, drawing and power-loom areas.
Regular maintenance
Other than production area, the areas where cleaning is required can be divided majorly into following areas include the following:
Outdoor Cleaning
Jaganath textiles, KG denim and Lakshmi mills, leading textile companies have vast approach roads. These roads are heavily trafficked and have trees on both sides. They use road sweepers to maintain these roads.
Dry leaves, sand particles, dust and stone materials gets collected during sweeping. “These machines manage outdoor dust which ultimately results in enhanced end product quality. Finished goods, being a very critical part, should be free from any kind of dust and 10-20% of the dust comes from outside areas,” said Puneet Mishra, General Manager, Forbes Pro, Eureka Forbes Ltd has been using Forbes PRO – CTS ride on sweepers like CS 60 & CS 80 with effective results.
Administration Areas
Daily cleaning is equally important and mainly involves floor cleaning. “Machines like Vispa 35 E/B, Abila E/B & FP 551 E/B, of Forbes PRO – CTS is an ideal range for any small/big textile Industry,” he said. Glass cleaning is also required to maintain a clean and hygienic environment. There is a range of glass cleaning professional tools that facilitate and ease the process of glass cleaning
Food Courts/canteens
“This is one area which requires high level of hygiene. Floor cleaning machines like FP 551 E/B are ideal for food courts. Depending on the area, one can go for Ride-On scrubber driers too. For maintenance cleaning, single disc machines can also be deployed in food courts,” said Puneet.
Open Drains
Bad odour is not the only culprit from open drains but poses a serious threat to people working in the factory premises and the hygiene levels of the place. These drains should be regularly cleaned with the help of high pressure cleaners. Both cold & hot water high pressure cleaners can curb this problem.
The above mentioned equipment ultimately lead to
- Smooth & faster production system
- Maintaining uniform quality level
- Reduction in maintenance cost
- Increased cleaning efficiency and productivity
