ছোট পাখি বাতাসি - প্রথম আলো

ছোট পাখি বাতাসি - প্রথম আলো
বাতাসিদের জীবন হলো, হয় পাখা মেলে বাতাসে ভর করে আকাশে ওড়ো-ঘোরো, না-হয় পা দিয়ে সুবিধামতো কোনো কিছু আঁকড়ে ঝুলে থাকো। গাছের ডালে অন্য পাখিদের মতো এরা বসতে পারে না। পা ছোট, দুর্বল। তাই এরা দিনের প্রায় পুরো সময়টাই উড়ে উড়ে আনন্দ করে, খেলায় মাতে এবং অপেক্ষাকৃত বড় মুখটা হাঁ করে উড়ন্ত পোকা-পতঙ্গ গেলে। উড়তে উড়তে ছোঁ দিয়ে খায়। পান করে ওপরের দিকে গাল হাঁ করে বৃষ্টির জল, গোসলও করে বৃষ্টির জলে মন-প্রাণ ভরে। খুবই আমুদে-খেলুড়ে পাখি এরা। সব সময়ই গান গেয়ে চলে। আকাশে এরা দলবদ্ধভাবে নানা রকম খেলায় মাতে।
মেয়ে ও পুরুষ পাখি দেখতে একই রকম। বাংলাদেশে বাতাসিদের জীবন মূলত তালগাছকেন্দ্রিক। কেননা, তালগাছের ঝুলন্ত-দুলন্ত পাতার ভেতরে ঢুকে এরা পা আঁকড়ে পড়ে থাকতে পারে অনায়াসে। বাসাও করে একই রকম জায়গায়। বাসাটাও দেখতে বটে! মনে হয় অনেকটাই কোন্ আইসক্রিমের আকৃতির বা অতি সরু একটা লম্বাটে চায়ের কাপ, যে কাপটার তলার দিকটা চাপা। বাসার বাইরের দিকে এরা নিজেদের শরীরের পালক বা কুড়িয়ে আনা অন্য কোনো পাখি বা মুরগির ফুলপালক সেঁটে দেয়। সেঁটে দেয় নিজেদের মুখের আঠালো লালা দিয়ে। বাসা লম্বায় নয় সেন্টিমিটার, ওজন চার থেকে সাত গ্রাম। গভীরতা চার-পাঁচ সেন্টিমিটার। গড় বেড় ১২ সেন্টিমিটার।
যেহেতু তালগাছের জীবন এদের, প্রচলিত নাম তাই ‘তালবাতাসি’। বাগেরহাট-ফকিরহাটে নাম ‘আদম পাখি’ বা ‘আদম সুরত’। ইংরেজি নামটাও তালগাছকে নিয়েই Asian Palm Swift। বাতাসির বৈজ্ঞানিক নাম Cyphiurus Balasiensis।
শরীরের মাপ ১৩ সেন্টিমিটার। এদের যদি লম্বাটে লেজটুকু না থাকত, তাহলে এটি হতে পারত বাংলাদেশের সবচেয়ে ছোট পাখি ফুলঝুরির চেয়েও ছোট। নলাকার লম্বাটে শরীর এদের। দুই পাখা মেললে তা ছিলা ছাড়া ধনুকের মতো মনে হয়। সরু লেজের আগাটা যখন মেলে ধরে, তখন দুই পাশের পালক মিলে ঠিক ইলিশ মাছের লেজের মতো মনে হয়। লেজটা ওরা উড়তে উড়তে, ডাইভ মারতে মারতে চমৎকার ভঙ্গিতে দোলায়-ঝোলায়। দ্রুত উড়তে পারে এরা, হঠাৎ দিক বদল করতে পারে, চমৎকার ‘ডাইভ’ও দিতে জানে।
এক নজরে ঘোলাটে বাদামি পাখি এরা। ঠিক ডানার উপরিভাগ ঘন বাদামি। গলা-বুক-পেট ও ডানার তলা চকচকে বাদামি। চ্যাপ্টা ধরনের ছোট মাথা। ঠোঁট ও পা কালো। পায়ের নখ বরই কাঁটার মতো ধারালো।
বাতাসির দেখা মিলবে সারা দেশেই। ঢাকা শহরেও আছে। রাজধানী শহরের কেন্দ্রস্থলেও তালজাতীয় গাছের পাতার ভেতরে থাকে এরা, বাসাও করে। মাটিতে নামতে পারে না এরা, পারে না বসতেও, তাই বাসার উপকরণ সংগ্রহ করে উড়ে উড়েই। স্বামী-স্ত্রী দুজনে মিলে বাসা করে। ডিম হয় দু-তিনটি। ডিম টিকটিকির ডিমের সমান, তবে লম্বাটে। দুটি ডিমের ওজন দুই থেকে চার গ্রাম। রং সাদা। দুজনে মিলে পালা করে তা দেয়। ডিম ফোটে ১৬-১৯ দিনে। বাতাসিরা যথেষ্ট আছে বাংলাদেশে। তবে তালগাছ কম হওয়ায় কিছুটা অসুবিধায় আছে এরা।

Cleaning the Fabric

Use of chemicals cannot be ruled out in some cases. Given below are chemicals to be used for different natures of clogging.


1. Caustic soda solution of 5% can be used if necessary.

2. Removal of rosin size and foreign matter a 5% solution Acetic Acid wash followed by a 10% solution soda ash wash.

For removal of oil and grease used kerosene Benzene, Acetone, Methylated spirits, Toluene, Trichloroethylene etc.



Precautions

1. Do not use concentrated alkalis on fabric.

2. No acid to be used at all on fabric.

3. Do not use bleaching solution at all on fabric.

4. Never use metal bristle brushes for fabric cleaning. Use only nylon bristle brushes.

5. Ensure no condensate & lubricant leakages at edges to avoid edge slackening.

Installation of fabrics

Before fabric Installation


1. Check all the rolls and ensure that all are in good condition. If found defects change that roll.

2. Check all rolls bearings and ensure all are in good condition.

3. Check all doctor blades and ensure that all are in good condition.

4. Check the guider and bellows and ensure that is in good condition.

5. In case of newly machined metal rolls the surface should be checked with surgical cotton to ensure that the surface is free from burrs.

6. Check the flat box hole and ensure that all are in good condition.

7. Cheek the couch roll suction holes and ensure that is in good condition. Otherwise change the couch roll.

8. Avoid using a knife to remove the fabric wrappers. Also avoid knocking the fabric against any sharp object which might cut it.

9. Check the forming board and deflector and ensure that are in good condition.

10. Clean all rolls and parts with high pressure water. Use brushes if necessary.



During fabric Installation

1. While holding the fabric, it should be ensured that no hard fold takes place. Pinching type of holding should be avoided.

2. Look the direction of operation.

3. At first fabric enter into couch roll. Then fourdrineir part.

4. When fabric is entered, it should be noticed that no sharp object hurt it.

5. Not given over tension on the fabric.

6. When need tension, make wet the fabric previously.


After fabric Installation

1. Check rolls level and squareness.

2. Clean all grease and oil on the fabric.

3. Wet the fabric properly. Give appropriate tension.

4. Open the entire shower, crawl the fabric and ensure at this time fabric not move. At last run the fabric.

5. In case of abnormal fabric elongation problem, contact supplier.

Press felt

Felt is the key part in the press section. Press felt is used for removing water from paper. In this step paper contains huge water. If this water containing paper provide to dryer section than huge steam consume for drying the paper. As a result cost of paper production must be increase.

For removing water, paper provide over the press felt. Two rolls are used for creating pressure on the felt. These two rolls are called press roll. One is placed under the press felt which is called bottom press roll. It remains fixed. Another press roll is placed on the press felt. It is not fixed. It can be up-down. By up and down this press rolls creating pressure. When pressure is applied on paper containing press felt, felt absorbed water from paper. As a result paper loss water and hence steam consumption decrease in dryer section. Moreover bottom press roll would be a suction roll (i.e roll is containing many small hole). This suction press roll is remains attached with a vacuum pump. It is also remove water from paper through the press felt.

Press felt remains attach with suction box which is connecting with vacuum pump. Through this suction box water is eliminated from press felt. As a result press felt is ready for further removing water from paper.

Preparation of Lemon lime Soft Drinks

At first we have to need preparation of mother syrup. For prepared mother syrup we need a tank which contains more than 1000L liquid. Let we prepared 1000L mother syrup. We need following chemicals.
Sugar 670~675kg
Flavour 6.25kg
Citric Acid 10.8kg
Sodium Benzoate 0.9kg
Sodium Citrate 3.125kg
Water 575L
We take another tank and taken their some water. Then heat the water approximately 70~75ºC temperature. Then dissolved the sugar this boiled water. Then it is supply to the tank where we preparing mother syrup. This tank has to take remaining water. In the same time we dissolved the other chemicals into container separately. After this we have to add sodium benzoate and needs agitating. Then we have to add citric acid, sodium citrate and at last lemon lime flavour. This is our mother syrup. The total volume will be 1000L. The Brix of this syrup will be 53.5 to 55.5.
After preparing mother syrup we mixed it with carbonated water and fill into bottle for supplied to the market. The carbon-di-oxide and water control such a way so that gas volume 3.5~4.0cc and brix is about 11°. These type Soft drinks are Sprite, 7up, Sierra Mist, Upper 10, Fran up etc.
A one liter these type Soft Drinks contains
Sugar 135.3gm
Citric Acid 2.168 gm
Sodium Benzoate 0.181gm
Sodium Citrate 0.627gm
Flavour 1.255gm.
