Capacity
Installed Capacity   :  225kgs /day
Actual production   :  120 Kgs/day

The factory uses the best Technology per say in raw silk manufacturing. It follows the international silk association standards and have the following stringent  parameters for testing using standard Machineries.

 
a)  Renditta -
                       This refers to amount of  Kgs of cocoons required to produce

                       1Kg of raw Silk yarn   

b) Type of Cocoon -

                        Multivoltaine Cocoon   : 8 to 8.5  Renditta

                        Bi-Voltaine Cocoon       : 6.5 to 7 Renditta                          

Grade of Raw Silk Yarn
                        Grade A, Grade 2A, Grade 3A, Grade 4A, Grade 5A

International Silk association Standards to test the following -

•   Denier -   weight in grams/Mtr

•   Tenacity

•   Elongation

•   Cleanness

•   Neatness

The silk filature plant uses modern Japanese & Korean Machineries having denier control  to produce quality silk yarn.

The Unit uses two types of reeling -
        i) Automatic – Japanese Machinery

        ii) Semi-Automatic – Korean Machinery

The Cocoon purchased form Govt. controlled Market undergoes various stages of  production viz; Sorting,  boiling, brushing & reeling. Silk yarn is passed thro. buttons and pulley (Croiser) to maintain tenacity and elongation and wound on a reel. Re-reeling is done to make the silk yarn into a continuous length and convert it into hanks. Reeled yarn is passed thro. yarn guide and made into big reel. The approximate weight of yank is 100 to 120 grams. To maintain quality the silk yarn undergoes various process  like silk skinning to remove gum spots manually.

The unit is in the process of implementing ISO 9002 standards.
