Production

The mills boast of running 25,000 modern ring spindles, with 6½ inches spindle lifts. Its production figures are some of the highest in the world, running Lakshmi Reiter 1008-spindle ring-frames at speeds in excess of 25,000 rpm.     It is pertinent to note that not all of the production is achieved through high spindle speeds, in consideration to quality and preparation. But nonetheless, it is interesting to note that intense management and technical personnel’s efforts to perfect the art of sliver preparation has, to a good extent, borne fruit.

The medium-term weighted average count of the mills is about Ne 85; the figure showing periodic variation due to market conditions, each incorporated in the monthly spin plan.

Maintaining a super-fine average count enables better overall monitoring of quality due to the lower quantity of yarn produced; it is also pertinent to note that an added advantage of higher average count is that the preparatory machinery are now run at even lower speeds providing the foundation for a product with excellent consistency. The warping performance and loom efficiency achieved with the yarn will be quite outstanding, contributing directly to the profitability of the weaving mill.
