legislation that is causing serious problems for many industries, with the textile industry being no
exception. Ecology is a new parameter that today increasingly appears in the catalogue of
requirements. For confidence in textiles, the need has arisen for such a seal of approval or label
for products that in their manufacture, use and disposal have only a minimal impact on the
environment.

Machinery Details & Capacity

Chenab Spins finest quality yarns in counts of 10, 16, 20, 22, 24, 30, 40, 60 & 80 in carded as
well as combed versions. The spinning facility spread over 520,000 Square feet houses 19,000
spindles with an approximate production capacity of million Kgs of yarn every year.  

Weaving is the oldest method of making yarn into fabric. While modern methods are more
complex and much faster, the basic principle of interlacing yarns remains unchanged. On the
loom, lengthwise yarns called the warp form the selection of the fabric. They usually require a
higher degree of twist than the filling yarns that are interlaced widthwise.

Traditionally, cloth was woven by a wooden shuttle that moved horizontally back and forth
across the loom, interlacing the filling yarn with the horizontally, lengthwise warp yarn.
Modern mills use high-speed shuttle less weaving machines that perform at incredible rates
and produce an endless variety of fabrics.

Machinery Details & Capacity

Chenab weaving units are equipped with 120 air jet looms of 75, 110 and 134 inches with a
production capacity of 36 million square meters per year, along with 376 auto looms capable of
producing 15 million square meters per year. Latest 134” wide computerized sizing machine
with 4 meter head stock and cone weft insertion reinforces the weaving process.

Customized fabric operation is the first crucial step towards the guaranteed final quality of all
finishing processes. Different fabrics are quality controlled before they go to singeing,
bleaching and mercerizing lines. Hi-tech equipment controlled by sophisticated systems
ensures total reliability and consistently optimal operations.
