Much of the appeal of dry denim lies in the fact that with time the fabric will fade in a manner similar to that which artificially distressed denim attempts to replicate.

FAULTS IN DENIM PRODUCTION

Posted by Sarwar Habib On 5:59 AM | No comments
FAULTS IN DENIM PRODUCTION FALUTS IN MACHINE: • Stop motion does not work on creel and on warping drum as a result broken ends are not traceable for knotting. • Chain breakages • If frictional drum should not be kept in a polished state, then thermal damages occur due to abrasion. • Brake could be inefficient. • Sprockets are jammed. • If comb do not move properly then there is a chance of cutting of comb due to friction with yarn. FALUTS...

In this system, the crankshaft of the weaving machine provides the harness motion. This system is used only for plain weave and its derivatives. CAM SHEDDING: A typical cam system can handle weave patterns with up...

Sizing for Denim Weaving SIZING Although the quality and characteristics of the warp yarns coming out of the winding, warping and dyeing processes are quite good, they are still not good enough for the weaving process for most of the yarns. The weaving process requires the warp yarns to be strong, smooth and elastic or extensible to certain degree. To achieve these properties on the warp yarns, a protective coating of polymeric film forming...
