The Department of Mechanical Engineering under the School of Engineering and Sciences (SEAS) successfully organised an industrial visit on February 14, 2026, to Mohan Spintex India Limited, Mallavalli, Model Industrial Park, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh. The visit was arranged to enhance the practical knowledge and industry exposure of our B.Tech. and M.Tech. students in the field of textile manufacturing, spinning technology, industrial automation, quality control, and sustainable manufacturing practices, aligning with their academic curriculum and preparing them for careers in core manufacturing industries.

During the visit, students gained valuable insights into the operational aspects of a modern textile manufacturing unit. The technical team of Mohan Spintex India Limited explained the complete workflow starting from raw material handling, fiber processing, spinning, winding, and packaging operations. Students observed high-speed spinning machines, automated material handling systems, and quality inspection procedures adopted to ensure consistent yarn quality. The experts also elaborated on machine maintenance practices, productivity optimization, energy-efficient operations, and real-time monitoring systems used in the plant. Students were introduced to industrial safety protocols, pollution control measures, waste management systems, and sustainable practices adopted in textile production. The integration of automation and control systems in large-scale manufacturing was particularly insightful for M.Tech. students specialising in manufacturing and materials engineering.

The visit was led by faculty members of the Department, Prof. Gurumurthy Kagita and Dr Chandan Kumar who accompanied the students throughout the industrial visit.

The visit was highly beneficial for students as it bridged the gap between theoretical classroom learning and real-world industrial applications. It provided students with an opportunity to interact with industry professionals, understand practical challenges in manufacturing industries, and explore potential career opportunities in the textile and allied sectors.
