[ WEARABLE TEXTILES / MULE SPINNING]


A University offering a B.Text in technical textile(I don't think we have).

Do we have a Research Institute doing research in technical textile( I don't think so)
Do we have a textile mill producing technical textile, yarn or fabrics( We do ).

What are their production products like,
Are they making floor carpets,
Geo textiles for soil engineers.
Filter fabrics(Nonwoven) for dust and liquid filtering.
This is not a recent development but it was over 20 years ago, A Textile Magnet who made this a feather in our cap,which he had planned .I am proud of this man who has put our country on the map of technical textiles.May be few more are there,I hope they diverse in to better products and upgrade there plants,for production of technical textile fabrics for Hospital use which has a high priority in our country.

My thinking is,that we need proper Infrastructure to start with.A research center with university level education up to PhD.May be our finance minister will make a provision in his post budget as a gift to this industry and we might end up with a plant in his home state.
A plant to produce artificial grass perhaps will be cheaper than what we are importing to be used in our Sports stadiums.
A well established Research and Development center having the following facilities is a priority for going all out in technical textiles:
Knitting Technology.
Knitted Technical Textiles.
SMART and intelligent fibre based products.
New technology for manufacturing.
Rapid prototyping.
Technology Transfer.
Specialists having knowledge in flat,circulor and warp knitting and other textile technologies and their applications for technical end uses.
Technical knitting laboratories.
Specialist testing laboratories.
SMART textile testing laboratories and consultancy services for: Machinery and equipment selection and recommendation.
Plant surveys,evaluation,audits and environmental issues.
New product and process development.
Process improvement.
Manufacturing efficiency studies.
Must be a State of the Art laboratory with facilities and methodologies for product testing,process monitoring services and quality control in support of a wide range of Industries to provide technical data for quality control,product grading,purchase decisions,litigation support and forensics.
April 7th 2007.
At ATLANTA - USA.
I saw lot of sign boards about everything but not a single sign board on Technical Textile Co's Advertisement
I hope to find one as I intend to stay here for more time.

World Market forecasts to 2010.
TEXTILE RESEARCH INSTITUTES IN INDIA.
I did not see in their website any of their member textile mills manufacturing technical textile yarns or fabrics.I expect to see them on their website: should they not be mentioned,if there are any.
A view of Electronic Mule Spinning Machine.
The Tatham Electronic Spinning Mule is available with up to 1,000 spindles. The company can also offer upgrades and a complete support service to all existing mule spinners worldwide.
Tatham also offers alternative nonwovens cards for different fibres and production requirements ranging from a 1,000mm wide.

View of a Weaving Machine.
Crabtree Textile Machines Ltd, a subsidiary of Cobble Blackburn Ltd, has recently been incorporated as a new company for the design and manufacture of Axminster carpet weaving machinery.
Following considerable investment in the infrastructure and facilities of the Barnsley factory, orders for new Axminster looms are now being received, and deliveries have commenced.
The new Stage VII high speed weaving loom is our flagship product; however we continue to offer other models of Axminster machinery, with a full package of service, spares and support for all Crabtree products.
Development and quality issues are central to the company's strategy - a full machine development programme is underway and Quality Management systems have been successfully assessed to meet our internal quality policy and procedure documentation.
The industrial fabric weaving machinery of Wilson and Longbottom will continue to be marketed and manufactured with spares and support continuing to be provided for all Wilson and Longbottom products.
We would welcome all your enquires for Axminster carpet and industrial fabric weaving machinery.
