DEPARTMENT LABORATORY DETAILS

Spinning Laboratory

The spinning Laboratory is well equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, which facilitates students and faculty members for research & study purposes. With the lab spinning machine, we can check the spinning performance of the yarn and research & develop much better yarn raw material, then put it into production. It improves the spinning efficiency. The Reiter Short Staple Yarn Laboratory is designed to help meet the needs of the textile industry in applied research. State-of-the-art machinery converts fibers less than 65 mm into spun yarn. Spinning capability includes compact, open-end, and air-jet spinning.

Weaving Laboratory

The laboratory is well equipped with conventional to latest weaving machines for imparting practical training. The weaving machines are utilized for product development, research, practical, etc. The weaving lab is equipped with a large number of Hand and power looms to provide individual looms to each student to practice design, drafting, denting, and sample development. The students also gain conceptual knowledge of different motions of weaving such as primary, secondary, and auxiliary motions.

Textile Testing and Quality Control Laboratory

The textile physics/testing laboratory is equipped with conventional as well as modern an instrument that covers a whole range of testing of textile materials. Textile testing helps to ensure that products meet the desired quality standards. It allows manufacturers and students to identify any defects or issues early on in the production process, which can be corrected before the product is released into the market. In the Textile Testing Lab, basic physical properties of textile materials such as the strength, abrasion resistance, flammability, wicking property, air permeability, and color fastness can be measured according to various ASTM and AATCC standards.

Textile Chemical Processing Laboratory

The laboratory is well-equipped for the chemical processing of all types of fiber and fabric. Textile Chemical Processing provides a complete basic understanding of the fabrics. Processing of all types of fabrics that are used in the Apparel or Home fashion Industry, Including Pre-treatments, Dyeing, Printing, and Finishing of fabrics, To develop knowledge of value addition on fabrics to Garments, Textile chemical processing’s role of chemistry in the textile industry is to develop a wide range of products that can be utilized for dyeing and printing clothes.

Knitting and Garment Construction Laboratory

The Knitting and Garment Manufacturing Laboratory provides practical knowledge for students to learn about the production of apparel from grey fabric. Garment production is a well-organized process that includes various steps. These are laying, marking, cutting, stitching, checking, finishing, pressing, and packaging. This is the process of transforming raw materials into final goods.

Students Industrial Visit and Internship Training

Industrial visits are usually the first point of interaction between a student and a live working industry. The students learn about the latest technology trends and make up their minds about their future jobs or areas of interesting textile and apparel manufacturing units. Educational tours to industries provide an opportunity for students to see and experience real workstations, plants, machines, systems, and assembly lines, and interact with highly trained and experienced personnel.

 Students Placed in the leading Textile and Garment Industries

Students pursuing Textile Technology courses have a very rewarding career as the industry is not only limited to simply the manufacturing of textiles. Students can apply for the sector, such as fashion clothing, fiber manufacturing, garment coloring, and industrial machinery designing. The students were placed in the following Textile and Garment Industry in India and abroad.
