 Introduction to the department

 Mechanical Processing Division of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI) is involved with jute mechanical processing.  The division also involved with innovation and development of jute machinery as well as development of diversified jute products. The division consists of three departments. These are -

Ø  Spinning

Ø  Weaving &

Ø  Machinery development and maintenance.

 

Spinning and weaving departments are working for making quality jute yarn and fabric following developed processing technology in the laboratory. Machinery development and maintenance department involved with innovation, development and maintenance of jute/textile machinery. The division has already developed a large number of jute processing technologies and equipment. Most of these are patented by Bangladesh Government.

 

The overall objective of the division:

·         Provide overall support to the Director (Technical) through research planning, review and evaluation.

·         Coordination of departmental research programs to assist in practical application of the results obtained.

·         Study the production of yarn, oven, non-oven and knitted fabrics as per the demand of modern world for use in technical textiles from jute through technology exchange and exchange of views with different organizations.

 

Departmental Information
