Balancing of machines for complete process house :Part-4 Mercerization

For this purpose one Mercerizing machine (chain type) is required.

Machine working speed: 40 m/min, M/c utilization= 75%

Total production per shift (8 hours or 480 min)= (speed x utilization x 480)/100

= (40 x 75 x 480)/100 = 14,400 meter

Total fabric to be mercerized= 50,000/-

14,400 meter fabric treated in 8 hours

50,000 meter…………= (8 x 50,000)/14,400 = Approx 28 hrs
