Office equipment and personnel:

To manufacture sacking, Hessian, jute yarn, bags and other necessary jute
commodities, raw jute is processed in the jute mills in the form of bales. Raw jute
bales are carried by trucks and drifted in the jute mill gowdowns. The
manufacturing of jute items comprises following stages :

• Selection: In this process, skilled workers open the raw jute bales and
find out defects and remove them from mora. Usually, two kinds of raw
jute bales are there : 150 kg weight and 180 kg weight with or without top
portion cutting. According to the end usage, bales are selected such as
Hessiean weft, Sacking wrap, Sacking weft etc. Then the bales are shifted
to the softening section by the workers also known as Bajawala and
Gariwala.

• Softening: The jute bales are made more soft in softening section. The
softening process comprises two methods by which you can make morahs
soft, either by using any softening machine or good jute spreader. Usually
an emulsion plant with softening machine is used to soften bark and raw
jute. This is comprised with gear pump, motor, vat, jet sprayer, nozzles,
emulsion tank and the jacket.

• Piling and pile breaking: The major purpose of this process is to break
the pile and serve it to the carding machine. During this process, a
superficial moisture saturates inside the fiber and thermo fillic action
softens the hard section of the root. After around 24 hours, pile breakers
convoy the material to the carding machine and the root weight ranges
from 5 to 7% of the total weight of jute.

• Carding: In this process, all jute reeds are separated and extraneous
matters are carried away. The jute fibers are made up into silver ribbon by
any of the three carding techniques like breaker carding, inner carding or
finisher carding.

• Breaker Carding: Generally, the carding operations are operated by two

carding methods i.e Rool feed breaker carding or Hand feed breaker
carding. After the piling process, the material is used in hand feed breaker
for more than 24 hours while in rool feed carding, it is used for more than
12 hours. The jute which is feed by hand is softened in appropriate
weightage. For finally finishing the carding process, machine comprises
different rollers which transform the raw jute into jute silver. Root cutting is
also very essential before feeding the material to the hand feed breaker
carding machine.

• Finisher Carding: The machine makes the sliver more uniform and
regular in length. Similar to breaker carding machine, finisher carding
machine comprises large pairs of staves, rollers, pinning arrangements
and speed. Around 4 to 12 slivers are feed on this machine and finally the
material is send to drawing section.
