Muazuddin Textile Ltd. is the mother project of the group; it was established in the year
1999. Since then it has grown up considerably, now it has been emerged as an industrial
group consisting of four sister projects and a trading company. Muazuddin Knit Fashion
Ltd., and Life Textile (Pvt.) Ltd., Muazuddin Printing & Embroidery Ltd. Muazuddin
Packaging & Accessories Ltd. is its sister manufacturing projects and M/S L R Industries
Pte. Ltd. is engaged in export/import and supply business.

Muazuddin Textile Ltd was just a small sewing project. We started with only three sewing lines
in the year 1999 and now we have about 90 sewing lines with auto turner mostly dry head
machines. We have a large number of knitting machines and two number of dying unites. All
dying machines are world’s renewed brand and built in with the latest textile technology. We
started with sub-contract orders and now it is worth mentioning that we have a good number of
regular bulk buyers. Recent capacity of production for basic items is more than 130,000 Pcs per
day.

Our projects are set-up in the pollution free areas and the environment of working floors
are so healthy. A large number of workers about 6,000 are engaged in the manufacturing
activities and export procurement. We have a wealth of woman workers contribute to
working force. We have a number of steps for women welfares. We also have some social
initiatives for all working group and those include health, education,cultural and training
programs.

Knitting action of Single Jersey Machine:

The knitting action consists of two parts of knitting action, one where the
yarn is knitted to form loops by the needles when the yarn is fed from the
wheel to the feeder and finally from the feeder to the needle and on the
other hand the sinker passes the formed loops in the needles to the
downwards of the machine. The continuous passage of loops from every
sinker causes the fabric to be formed and finally drawn by the take down
rollers and stored. The process which undergoes during knitting is given
below:

▸The Rest Position:

In the rest position the formed old loop which is formed by the previous
feeder remains in the latch needle which is prevented from nsing and the
needle hook come to the verge or level of the cylinder. The sinker moves
forward to hold down the formed loop and pass it downwards.

▸Latch Opening:

In latch opening the needle bull passes up the incline of the clearing cam,
the old loop, which is held down by the sinker, slides inside the hook and
contacts the latch, turning and opening it.

▸ Clearing Height:

In clearing height the needle reaches the top of the cam, the old loop is
cleared from the hook and latch spoon on to the stem. At this point the
feeder guide plate acts as a guard to prevent the latch from closing the
empty hook.

▸Yarn Feeding and Latch Closing:

During yarn feeding and latch closing the needle starts to descend the
stitch cam so that its latch is below the verge, with the old loop moving

6
under it. At this point the new yam is fed through a hole in the feeder guide
to the descending needle hook. as there is no danger of the yarn being fed
below the latch. The old loop contacts the underside of the latch, causing it
to close on to the hook.

▸Knocking Over and Loop Formation:

In Knocking Over and Loop Formation the head of the needle descends
below the top of the trick, the old loop slides off the needle and the new
loop is drawn through it. The continued descent of the needle draws the
loop length, which is approximately twice the distance the head of the
needle descends, below the surface of the sinker or trick-plate supporting
the sinker loop. The distance is determined by the depth setting of the
stitch cam, which can be adjusted.

Function of Sinkers during Knitting:

During knitting the single jersey the sinker plays an important role. The
various functions of sinker during knitting the fabric are given below:

 The held loop is positioned in the throat of the sinker when the sinker
moves forward and the needle moves upward for clearing. The held

7
 loop is held by the throat and hence its movement along the needle is
restricted.

 The sinker remains at its forward position when the needle attains its
clearing position.

 The sinker retracts when the needle comes down after feeding. At
this stage, due to sinkers retraction, fabric or held loop is eased out.
Also the sinker belly supported the fabric or held loop and hence its
movements along the needle is prevented.

 Sinker remains in backward position and the needle descends to its

lowest position drawing the new loop through the old one.

 Before the needle ascends, the sinker moves forward to push the
knitted fabric a little and to hold the old loop away from the head of
the needle and to be in a position to control the fabric.

Figure: Loop formation by Sinker during Knitting.

Knitting action of Double Jersey Machine:

The knitting machine consists of cylinder and dial where the yarn is knitted
to form loops by the needles of both cylinder and dial when the yarn is fed

8
from the wheel to the feeder and finally from the feeder to the needles then
the continuous forward and backward movement of needles according to
cam arrangement causes the needles to form loops and thus the fabric.
The process which undergoes during knitting is given below:

▸Clearing:

In clearing the cylinder and dial needles move out to clear the plain and rib
loops formed in the previous cycle.

▸Yam Feeding:

During yarn feeding the needles are withdrawn into their tricks so that the
old loops are covered by the open latches and the new yarn is fed into the
open hooks

▸ Knocking Over:

During knocking over the needles are withdrawn into their tricks so that the
old loops are cast off and the new loops are drawn through them.

 Testing Lab

Muazuddin Textile Ltd. operates two distinct testing facilities, namely the
color lab and the physical lab. The former is responsible for assessing
dying recipes and liquor ratios, while the latter focuses on evaluating fabric
parameters.These testing labs in Muazuddin Textile Ltd. ensure product
quality, safety, and compliance by evaluating material properties,
performance, and regulatory adherence. They are vital for quality control,
problem-solving, cost reduction, and product development, enhancing
consumer confidence and market competitiveness.

 Dyeing

Textile coloration is a combination of some series processes such as

scouring bleaching, dyeing & after treatment which can be carried out at
different stages of fiber processing in different forms like staple, yarn,
fabric (rope, open width, piece or garments). Piece (batch) dyeing is carried
out open-width or rope form in depending on rn/c type, product type & end
uses. Usually this type of materials is dyed in exhaust dyeing method in a
single dyeing m/c with different structure. Knit fabrics dyeing in batch
process is very common in Winch Dyeing m/c. In Crystal Composite Ltd.
We are quite well-known that, actually Winch m/c used here for knit dyeing.

 Finishing section

All the processes after knitting and dyeing to fabric transportation for
garments making are termed as finishing process. The main purpose of
finishing process is treating the fabric with chemicals that changes the
property of the fibers. The change in fiber property is achieved by various
chemical and mechanical treatment of the fabric.

Objects of Finishing:

The objects of finishing process are briefly discussed below:

 Finishing process is done to improve properties and performance

of the fabric.

 Finishing process is done to improve attractiveness of the fabric

which is achieved by improving luster, whiteness of the fabric

 Finishing process is done to improve quality of the fabric.

 Finishing process is done to improve hand feel of the fabric which

is achieved by softening, stiffening and wetting of the fabric.

 Finishing process is done to improve appearance of the fabric

which is achieved by Calendaring, Optical brightening of the fabric.

 Finishing process is done to reduce faults of the fabric.

 Finishing process is done to maintain the buyer recommended

dimension of the fabric.

 Finishing process is done to match the ordered shade of the fabric.

 Finishing process is done to improve wearing quality of the fabric.

23
Types of Finishing:

There are mainly two types of finishing process. Such are discussed
below:

 Mechanical Finishing:

Physical finishing is the process of treating the fabric by various

mechanical processes for improving the property of the fabric. Physical
treatment causes temporary change to the fabric property. Physical or
mechanical process is done by Stenter, Dryer, Compactor, Squeezing, and
Slitting etc, machines.

 Chemical Finishing:

Chemical finishing is the process of treating the fabric by processing with

various chemicals to improve the property of the fabric. Chemical
treatment causes permanent changer to the fabric property, Chemical
treatment is done by applying various chemicals for processing of the
fabric such as; Softeners. Anti creasing.

24
Finishing calculations:

To achieve the required GSM and diameter according to buyer specification

the machine's diameter is set at cm or mm value. So the diameter set up of
machines follow the calculations given below: Fabric required diameter in
mm = Fabric dia in inch x 25.4 Fabric required diameter in cm= Fabric dia in
inch x 2.54

GSM of the fabric for 5% shrinkage= (Required Fabric GSM×100)÷95

Chemical Treatment Process:

Softeners:

Softening treatment is one of the most important chemical after

treatments in the textile industry. By softening treatment textile can
achieve not only soft handle but also:

 a) Some smoothness.

 b) More flexibility.

 c) Drape and Pliability.

 d) Antistatic properties.

 e) Luster.

 f) Soft handle.

Types of softeners:

 Cationic Softeners.

 Anionic Softeners.

 Non-ionic Softeners.

 Silicon-based Softeners.
