4. Manufacturing process along with chemical reactions and mass balance.

Extruder

Polyamide chips are emptied in extruder hopper under nitrogen atmosphere to

prevent from oxidation and moisture pick up. In the extruder the chips is melted

with electrical heaters and proper mixing is done to form molten polymer.

Spinning

Molten Polymer coming out of extruder is mixed again with static mixer fixed inside

the piping and is metered as per the requirement of denier, by metering pumps.

Molten metered polymer is pumped to spin packs which are having filters to remove the impurities and then finally extruded through the various orifices of the

spinnerets. Number of holes is decided based on the requirement of filaments in

the yarn.

Quenching

Filaments bundle coming out of spinneret is in the molten polymer form. Hence it

is quenched by cross flow cool air blowing from back side of bundle. Once the

molten filaments solidifies and their temperature comes down below their glass

transition temperature, spin finish oil emulsion is applied on the filament bundles

for removing static charges, proper cohesion and lubrication to form yarn.

Drawing

Nylon yarn coming out after quenching and oil application is passed through

electrically heated hot godets for orientation. The final yarn is popularly known as

Polyester/ Nylon FDY mother yarn.

Winding

The final yarn produced is wound on take up winders on paper tube. These final

packages are sold in market after proper inspection, testing and packing for

weaving. During the above processes sometimes abnormality occurs like filament

• Ensure implementation of Disaster Planning.

• Ensure that all drafted for emergency undergo regular training and are prepared for

tackling emergency/disaster.

• Ensure that Mock Drills are performed under simulated emergency condition at

regular intervals to assess the strength and weaknesses of the response team/plan.

• Ensure awareness among employees through regular training.

• Ensure good liaison with all agencies and industries in the neighborhood for getting

help if situation arises.

• Ensure adequate stock of safety, personal protective appliances in good working

condition.

• Ensure awareness amongst public in the neighboring areas.
