The Blueprint to Attain Manufacturing Excellence

Manufacturing excellence in the garment industry is the ultimate process whereby all variable parameters of the company are monitored to achieve the highest possible standards in order to maximise profit, production, quality levels, customer satisfaction, and employee contentment and to be fit for competition and make continuous progress.

Optimum Drafting Conditions of Polyester and Viscose Blend Yarns

In this study, we used an experimental design to investigate the influence of the total draft, break draft, the distance between the aprons (Clips) and production roller pressure on yarn quality in order to obtain optimum drafting conditions for polyester and viscose (PES/CV) blend yarns in ring spinning frame. We used PES fibres (1.4 dtex × 38 mm long) and CV fibres (1.6 dtex × 38 mm long) to spin a 20 Tex blend yarn of PES (70%)/CV (30%) blend ratio.

When the break draft, adjustment of distance between of aprons and roller pressure is not reasonable, controlling and leading of the fibres is not sufficient for proper orientation of the fibres in the yarn structure to produce a high-quality yarn. Experimental results and statistical analysis show that the best yarn quality will be obtained under drafting conditions total draft of 38, 1.2 break draft, 2.8 mm distance between of aprons and maximum pressure of the production top roller (18daN).

Geometrical Modelling of Plain Weft Knitted Fabrics

In order to produce the fabric with maximum cover factor with the minimum weight, it’s only possible when GH is the distance between the loops in a horizontal direction and KJ is the correct length between the loops in a longitudinal direction. In this article Dr Vojislav explains geometrical pattern of knitted fabrics.

Recycled Italian Zero Impact Wool

This article introduces the Cardato Regenerated CO2 Neutral Brand process for creating “zero impact wool” recycled textiles. The textiles are produced in Italy’s main textile manufacturing city of Prato in Tuscany. Because during the textile production process, Cardato Regenerated CO2 Neutral Brand eliminates the carbon footprint by using regenerated raw materials, the Prato Chamber of Commerce certifies the brand as Cardato Recycled. It is an eco-friendly product that is versatile, has a limited impact on the environment, and is comfortable to wear.

Performance of home textiles – a book preview

The book, performance of home textiles, is aimed at industry professionals, domestic and international retailers, factory owners, buying institutions, and students intended to start their career in the home textile sector. Thus, the emphasis of the book is how to achieve the commercial success of desired end product through the knowledge of the key markets producing various home textiles, the scope of development through sustainable and eco-friendly fibres, various industry-specific standards, evaluation systems and above all safety aspects and environmental regulations.
