Simple Textile Production Process

Weaving: The process of interlacing at least two yarns at right angles to form a fabric.

Warping

Sizing

Drawing In

Weaving

Inspection &
Mending

Functional : transfer yarn (cones) into Warper's Beam. Sectional Warping is used for Yarn Dyed Fabrication.
Section :Warping
UoM : Warper's Beam

Function : Before weaving to protect the yarns form abrasion in the healds and reed against each other, apply
starch mainly, a chemical treatment to mutliple (calculated) warper's beams.
Section : Sizing
UoM : Sizer's Beam
Supporting : Sizing recipe

Function : in the process of drawing the warps thread passes through the eye of heald wire and dent of reed
according weave type / pattern. In case ot running pattern Knotting process is used from Sizer's beams to Loom
Section : Drawing In (manual / Automatic)
UoM : Weaver's Beam

Function : Intersection of Warp and Weft yarn in loom for the formation of fabric.
Section :Loom shed
UoM : Cloth Roll
Support : Reed of esp count. Weft yarn.

Function : Inspection fabric, mending if required. Also assign grading to fabric.

Section : Inpsection hall (manual / automatic)
UoM : Pieces , with identifucation tag. *Loom number, weaver,* roll number, * grade,*length (yrd/meter),
*width (inches/cms),
Support : Packing on the bases packing instruction in UoM *Roll, *Bale, *pilates.

Simple Textile Production Process

Processing: the Yarn Fabric or Garment treated combination process of Chemical and / or Mechanical process which change
physical or chemical state of Textiles (Yarn, Fabric, Garment). The sub-processes are;
Pretreatment: Preparation process (es) of textiles.

Singeing

Function : a mechnical process to remove of protruding fibers by direct flame or by infrared radiation or by burring against hot
plate
Section : Pretreatment
UoM : in length mtr / yrd.
support : machine & process paramenter. A-frame/trolley to hold material

Desizing

Function : removal of size (starch) from the fabric (usually in warp) during sizing process in weaving.
Section : Pretreatment
UoM : in length mtr / yrd.
support : Desizing Recipe, machine & process paramenter. A-frame/trolley to hold material

Scouring

Function : the treatment of textile materials of aqueous or other solution in order to remove the natural fats, waxes, proteins and
other constituents, as well as dirt, oil and other impurities (by sponification).
Section : Prtreatment > Bleaching
UoM : in length mtr / yrd.
support : Scouring Recipe, machine & process paramenter. A-frame/trolley to hold material

Bleaching

Mercerizing

Functional : a process for improving the whiteness if textile material with or without the removal of natural coloring matters
and/or extraneous substances.
Section : Prtreatment > Bleaching
UoM : in length mtr / yrd.
support : Bleaching Recipe, machine & process paramenter. A-frame/trolley to hold material

Function : the treatment of cellulosic textile in yarn or fabric form with a concentrated solution of caustic alkali where by the fiber
are swollen, the strength and dye affinity of the material are increased
Section : Prtreatment > Bleaching
UoM : in length mtr / yrd.
support : Mercerizing Recipe, machine & process paramenter. A-frame/trolley to hold material

Simple Textile Production Process

Dyeing: the application and fixing of a dye and substrate normally even distribution throughout the substrate,
Printing: the production of design or motif on a substrate by application of a treatment of colorant or other reagent usually in a
paste or ink in a predetermined pattern.
Finish a process physical/chemical applied to a substrate to produce a desired effect.

Simple Textile Production Process

In the Textile Processing Flow, the inspection process is not shown it does not means that it is not necessary, it is the most
important factor. The role of Inspection is very important at each and every stage of process from Fiber to Dispatch. So
inspection may online or offline, both are required and according to the process requirement. The role of Quality Assurance and
Quality Control is important to do such tasks.,
