Remedies
1. The humidity and temperature in knitting
department should be 60 5 % and 25 5C.
However during dry season when the outside
humidity level falls, humidification in the
department needs to be controlled more
efficiently. Maintaining required humidity
level improves the performance of knitting
machine without affecting the metallurgy of
the machines.
2. Whenever yarn breaks or finished, it
should be knotted instead of twisting as this
is normal practice used in industry. Because,
in case of twisting it is likely that it may open
and may cause cut in the fabric. It is also one
of the ways to reduce the cut in the fabric.
During yarn knotting, the operator should use
scissor / clippers for cutting the extra knot
edges. The extra knot edges should not be
more than 5 mm in lengths Knot the yarn
only after stop the machine.
