Processing division
The processing division of Mohan Spintex India Limited (MSIL) turns greige fabric from the weaving division into finished fabric by bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing it. Its continuous processing ranges have a capacity of about 1,00,000 metres a day.[1][2]
 Fabric processing machinery | |
| Capacity | |
|---|---|
| Throughput | ~1,00,000 metres per day |
| Water recovered | 98% |
| Steam fuel | Rice husk (coal-free) |
| Principal machinery | |
| Pretreatment | Benninger |
| Finishing | Brückner, Monforts |
| Printing | Zimmer |
Processing is where fabric gains most of its commercial value – colour, handle and performance finishes – and it is also the most water-, chemical- and energy-intensive stage of textile manufacture. For this reason it is central to the company's environmental programme.[3]
Process
| Stage | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Singeing | Burns off surface fibres so fabric is smooth and prints cleanly |
| Desizing | Removes the size applied to warp yarn before weaving |
| Scouring | Removes natural waxes and impurities from cotton |
| Bleaching | Gives a uniform white base |
| Mercerising | Caustic treatment that adds lustre, strength and dye uptake |
| Dyeing or printing | Applies colour or pattern |
| Finishing | Softening, calendering, sanforising and functional finishes |
Environmental controls
The division's effluent is treated in a zero liquid discharge–oriented plant that recovers 98% of process water for reuse, and its steam is generated from rice husk rather than coal.[3] Chemical inputs are managed in line with the company's Detox commitment and OEKO-TEX restricted-substance requirements.[1]
Global home-textile buyers typically audit processing first, because restricted chemicals, effluent and water use are concentrated there.
