Fabric manufacturing business. Modern technologies in textile production Technology and equipment for textile production

The choice of a method for forming a suit largely depends on the type of material and its fibrous composition. Currently, many modern materials have been developed that allow you to create a complex shape and various effects. The expansion of the assortment and the increase in the production of textile fibers are carried out in several directions:

improving the properties of fibers for a wide range of applications due to their modification - increasing comfort and mechanical properties;

creation of superfibers with special properties for a narrower purpose (ultra-strong, super-elastic, ultra-thin, etc.);

creation of interactive fibers that actively "respond" to changes in external conditions (heat, lighting, mechanical stress, etc.);

development of new technologies for the production of synthetic fibers from reproducible (natural) raw materials in order to reduce dependence on the reduction of oil and gas reserves;

the use of biotechnology to synthesize new types of fiber-forming polymers and improve the quality of natural fibers.

A widely used method aimed at changing and improving the properties of fibers is their modification. There are various ways to physically and chemically modify fibers. One of the directions of physical (structural) modification of fibers - profiling of fibers is achieved by using dies with holes of various shapes: a triangle, a trefoil, a multi-beam asterisk, a double rhombus, slit-like different configurations, etc. This method of modifying the surface of the fibers imparts a roughness, increased tenacity. Due to this, threads and materials from such fibers acquire increased bulk and porosity.

Methods for producing multilayer fibers (up to 100 film layers) have been developed in the USA and Japan. Such fibers are capable of changing gloss and hue and saturation when changing light or angle of view, and even have a holographic effect.

Segment-type bicomponent fibers made of multi-shrink polymers after heat treatment acquire stable crimp, reaching 100%. Combined fibers can be obtained by deposition on the finished fiber (substrate) of various polymers from solutions or melts, forming a "jacket" of any thickness on its surface. In particular, low-melting layers of a binder polymer used to produce nonwoven materials are deposited on the surface of cellulosic and chemical fibers.

In recent decades, one of the main directions of improving and improving the quality of chemical fibers has been the creation of ultrafine fibers [Buzov, Alymenkova, 2004], allowing you to create a certain texture (surface) of the material: the effect of "peach skin", suede surface, velvety, soft silky surface , approximation to the carcass of natural silk. Fibers and materials that "give pleasure", pleasant for all senses in foreign special literature, are called "high-touch".

The first place in terms of demand for products has always been and will be the food market. This is not surprising, because it is here that goods are sold and bought that are in the category of vital for every person.

It is followed by the textile industry. Surprisingly, but in this segment, high demand for products is combined with insufficient supply from domestic producers. The share of goods produced by factories and plants in our country is only a fifth of the entire market.

The rest is occupied by imported goods, imported both on a legal basis and as counterfeit goods. Of course, this state of affairs has the most negative impact on both the Russian producers themselves and the country's economy as a whole. There is another problem - textile production at domestic enterprises is often frozen for long periods due to the high cost of raw materials, supply interruptions and the need to modernize equipment.

State participation in the development of the industry

The situation must change radically, and the government is already beginning to take steps to improve it. In particular, a strategy has been adopted aimed at the development of light industry in our country until 2020.

In turn, the state has taken seriously the problem of domestic production: support to enterprises is provided both in the field of financing and subsidizing the procurement of raw materials, and in the issue of technical modernization of production. This allows us to think that changes are inevitable, and small improvements can already be observed today, in 2014.

Textile industry in Russia: current state

Today the situation is such that the share of imported products in the Russian textile market still prevails. However, compared to the last decade, significant changes are noticeable in the direction of its decrease. Over the past 10-12 years, the Russian light industry has grown at a record pace, and at the moment domestic textile production is estimated at about 70-85 billion rubles.

The industry employs about 700 large and up to 5 thousand medium and small enterprises, the total production of which is about 200 billion rubles. At the same time, this segment is still underestimated by Russian investors, which means that it is high time to enter the market.

An average textile enterprise is now 20-30% cheaper than a food one with the same level of profitability. Those entrepreneurs and investors who pay attention to this line of business today will be able to reap a good "harvest" in a few years with the right approach to business. We will talk further about how to competently organize the production of textiles in our country.

Basic questions on the organization of textile production

Of course, it is too early to say that today this is the most profitable business in Russia. However, there is no doubt that the return on such production can be quite high, and in the long term. This area is suitable for strategic investors and entrepreneurs looking to the future.

Therefore, today it is important to approach the issue of organizing textile production from a completely new position, relying on innovation and relevance. What points need to be considered when creating your own business from scratch? The key factors are:

Organization of the design department. In the modern world, the work of these specialists is indispensable. One of the main conditions for high demand for your company's products will be the relevance and originality of the design of fabrics. Moreover, the development of new collections of textiles should be carried out regularly, and not one-time. Therefore, the plant / factory must necessarily have its own department with a group of designers working together and under the guidance of its owner.
Organization of production itself. This issue requires no less attention. Where and by whom the fabrics are made depends on the availability of sufficient investment. For example, some entrepreneurs create their own production workshop from scratch, while others place orders for finished designs between home workers. In addition, many fabric manufacturers in Russia locate their production in Chinese factories (due to the availability of cheap labor and good technical equipment).
To organize your own textile production, you need to obtain an appropriate certificate for your products, think over and plan the technology for making fabrics, purchase modern equipment and hire personnel (from cutters and sewing machine operators to an accountant).
To sell products, you will need to think about its transportation. If the enterprise is large, then you will need your own vehicle fleet. Small factories / workshops for the manufacture of textiles use the services of third parties.
Like any commercial activity, the textile business requires advertising. There should be several effective channels: your own website on the Internet, advertising blocks in specialized magazines, your own booklets with fabric samples. A good (and even mandatory) addition will be participation in exhibitions organized for representatives of this market segment. This will allow you to make useful contacts in your field, expand dealer and retail networks for more efficient sales of products.

All these points are important and, moreover, mandatory stages of building a truly successful textile production in modern Russia. None of them can be neglected if you really want to organize a highly profitable business that can not only survive, but also function effectively for a long time.

Textile technology and types of fabrics

Above, we examined the main issues that are important for every entrepreneur who decides to engage in the textile business in Russia. Now let's dwell in a little more detail on the actual production of fabrics. This process includes the selection of an assortment, the production technology itself and the necessary equipment for its implementation.

Types of fabrics and their features

All existing textiles are divided into large and smaller types. In general, fabrics can be divided into natural and chemical. The former can be of plant origin - cotton, flax, jute, etc., and the animal - silk, wool, etc. The latter are subdivided into synthetic, artificial and mineral.

Natural fabrics of plant origin

Cotton fabrics are made from a mixture of cotton and other fibers. This category is very common and has the highest demand in the segment of natural materials. They vary according to density and species. This is the well-known denim, calico, chintz, cloth, cambric and others. Linen fiber is less elastic than cotton fiber. Fabrics made from it have a rough surface and a more rigid structure, and their production is more expensive.

Animal textiles

The basis for making silk is the silkworm. This type of textile is distinguished by its elasticity and strength, and therefore is in great demand in production. It is used to obtain materials such as velvet, satin, etc. Russian manufacturers for the manufacture of woolen fabrics usually take sheep's wool. It retains heat well, does not absorb odors and moisture, and does not wrinkle well.

Chemical fabrics

Man-made fibers are also widely used in the modern textile industry. Viscose and acetate fabrics are light and smooth, have an attractive appearance and good hygiene properties. Polyamide materials are strong, durable, but absorb grease and repel moisture, and therefore are unhygienic. Polyester is in great demand, as it is used for the production of clothing.

Textile production technology

The key point that determines the entire production of textiles and the organization of its individual processes is the stage of fabrication itself. It consists of several basic steps, which we will now look at:

Preparation. Obtaining yarn from fibers by processing them - loosening, scuttling, combing.
Spinning coarse fiber. From scattered cotton fibers, a textile thread is obtained.
Direct production of fabric on looms.
Final finishing procedure. As a result of this stage, the fabric acquires properties such as strength, softness, smoothness, waterproofness and others.

This is a general description, and each of the above steps has its own nuances.

Necessary equipment

At the same time, a large number of various equipment is involved in the process of making fabric at all steps. Of the mandatory for the organization of a full-fledged production process, one can single out:

roving frame;
loom;
weft-winding machine;
winding machines and automatic machines;
warping machine;
sizing machines;
glue boilers;
parting machines;
knotting machines.

As you can see, the list of equipment is impressive. Therefore, a fully functioning textile production requires a large area of premises, several warehouses (for raw materials and finished products), as well as a sufficient number of employees to service it and the organization of effective management.

Conclusion

Today the textile market is developing at a fairly good pace - at least 25% per year. This niche still needs competent entrepreneurs and large investments for the organization of modern equipment and the same approach to the implementation of production.

Textile manufacturing is a very profitable business in Russia and will remain so for the next 7-10 years, and possibly longer. If you have not decided on the segment of capital investment and business organization, then now is the time to enter the textile market.

Introduction

The textile industry is one of the most important industries. It is this branch of the economy that produces basic necessities for the population - fabrics, knitwear and those woven materials that are mainly used for the production of clothing and provide the need for other industries in textile materials used for technical purposes.

If the total production volume in 1989 was 40.3 billion m2 of fabric, then at present the production volume compared to 1990 has decreased eight times, the number of production personnel has decreased three times. This led to a significant decrease in labor productivity and an equally significant decline in production.

By 1996, there was a fivefold decrease in the production of all tissues, over the next three years - stabilization at this low level, some increase until 2001 and stabilization of tissue production until 2004 at about 33-35% of the 1990 level.

In 2004, Russia produced 2 billion square meters. m of fabrics of all types. Moreover, the leading industry in terms of production of fabrics, just like for years, is cotton (87%), linen fabrics make up only 6%. In general, the production of fabrics in Russia in 2004 fell by 4.5% compared to 2003.

Today, the industry employs about 3,000 medium and large joint stock companies, of which practically only a few have switched to organizational schemes that are effective in a market economy. Basically, these are large factories with a fleet of 1000 machines or more and are not able to quickly respond to market demands. The narrow specification of factories by type of product and by type of fiber does not allow us to successfully adapt to trends in demand and fashion. According to an experimental estimate, up to 90% of textile enterprises have the potential to increase work efficiency by 20-25 %% by changing the enterprise management system, creating an effective financial and economic system and retraining management personnel.

A common problem for the overwhelming number of enterprises is the low competitiveness of their products due to their high cost. At the same time, without solving this problem, our textile industry has no prospects. Therefore, the strategic direction of the industry's development now seems to be its technological modernization.

The low rate of equipping factories with modern equipment shows that domestic financial and industrial companies do not have sufficient resources to re-equip factories at an accelerated pace, and the Russian Government does not classify the textile industry as a priority sector that it intends to finance. But this level of development of the textile industry will not allow, without extensive technical re-equipment of factories, to continue to develop competitive products in an open market.

Russia's foreign trade in linen fabrics as a whole is characterized by a slow growth rate of exports and a decrease in imports. So in 2004, imports exceeded exports by 22%. Exports of linen fabrics exceed their imports in value by almost five times.

The state of the textile industry in 2004 is as follows:

The level and condition of the equipment, with a few exceptions, remain at a low level. Over the past years, the equipment of Russian factories, mostly outdated before that, has aged for another 15 years;

The range and quality of fabrics have partially changed for the better, because factories have to sell fabrics in competition with imports. However, there remains a need for their further improvement;

The use of information technology to control production and technological processes in advanced factories has improved markedly along with the improvement of computerization throughout the country;

The structure of giant factories is improving, their downsizing is taking place, which makes it possible to improve product quality and reduce production costs;

The structure of manufactured products began to improve;

The factories' narrow specialization in fibers and fabric groups has been blurring in recent years. Factories are equipped with sewing workshops. This allows them to better adapt to market demands;

The use of synthetic fibers is increasing as necessary and whenever possible, as a free market for synthetic fibers and yarns has emerged.

According to the World Economic Forum, in the period from 1999 to 2003. Russia ranked 59 to 65 out of the 80 countries assessed.

Thus, the investment climate existing in Russia cannot be called favorable in any way, since it does not guarantee investors equal opportunities for healthy competition with the goods of foreign firms.

The possibility of the textile industry's exit from its current state, first of all, depends on the accelerated improvement of the legal and economic conditions for its functioning.

1. Selection and justification of the production process for yarn production

Raw materials warehouse and preparation of ragged flax for carding.

At the raw material warehouse, scrapped flax is prepared for carding. In the process of combing scrapped flax, two types of flax fiber are obtained: combed flax and fleece. Combed flax is 2-3 times more expensive than combed flax, therefore, from the very first stages of processing, it is necessary to carefully monitor the output of combed flax.

To the factory, ragged flax in the form of tightly compressed bales. Each bale consists of a handful of tufted flax. Inside the bale there may be handfuls of ragged flax, differing in color and even in number. Therefore, the preparation of ragged flax begins with a thorough sorting.

Careful sorting of flax flax.

It is better to carry out it at a raw material warehouse, preparing large batches of fiber of the same properties.

Emulsification.

Application of liquid fat emulsions to the fiber (performed manually). The composition of emulsions includes: water (80-85%), mineral oil, soda, kerosene. Emulsification gives the fiber softness, flexibility, elasticity. This increases the moisture content, which reduces dust emission and reduces fiber electrification.

Resting.

The process of fiber maturation in storage sheds for 24 hours. During this time, the fiber is uniformly impregnated with the emulsion, and previously accumulated mechanical stresses and electrostatic charges are removed. The duration of lying down must be monitored. With less, the spinning process will go worse, when resting, fiber rotting occurs.

Division into handfuls.

To optimize the carding process, each handful of fiber must have a certain weight. The higher the fiber number, the greater the mass of the handful should be. Usually the mass of a handful is p = 110-130 g.

Frame, or trim.

This is a manual operation. It is carried out on hand combs and only for high numbers of ragged flax (efficiency increases, percentage of combed flax).

Handfuls of scrapped flax from the raw material warehouse go to the flax combing machine Ch-302-L.

2. Equipment characteristics

Flax combing machine Ch-302-L

Purpose: Serves for combing handfuls of scrapped flax.

Processes:

1. Straightening and parallelization of a long fiber.

2. Crushing of thick technical fibers into thinner ones (in the longitudinal direction).

3. Cleaning the fiber from fire, dust and very short non-strand fibers.

Introduction

Light industry occupies an important place in the structure of the country's industrial production. Favorable conditions have developed for its development in the republic. First, the availability of our own raw materials (flax fiber, chemical fibers, raw hides, etc.); secondly, the provision of highly qualified personnel, a sufficient number of female hands, the demand for which in the industry is especially high; thirdly, a capacious market for products both in the republic itself and abroad. textile cotton spinning

The leading branch of the republic's industry is textile. The textile industry is an industry that produces threads, fabrics, knitted and non-woven fabrics from natural and chemical fibers. In 1997. its share was 4.2% of all industrial production. It has more than 100 enterprises producing products for both personal and industrial use. A special place is occupied by the linen, cotton, silk and woolen industries. Fabrics are produced in all areas, but both their general production and individual types are quite differentiated across the territory. Suffice it to say that almost 4/5 of all fabrics in the republic come from the enterprises of the Gomel, Mogilev and Vitebsk regions.

Of all types of fabrics produced in Belarus in 1998, silk were the main ones (26%). They were produced by enterprises of Mogilev, Vitebsk, Kobrin and others. Cotton fabrics, which ranked second in the total output, were produced mainly in Baranovichi and Mogilev. Their production is based entirely on imported cotton fiber. The linen industry, in contrast to the cotton, mainly relies on domestic raw materials, and was developed in Orsha, partly in Mogilev. The production of woolen fabrics due to the difficulties of raw materials supply has sharply decreased (in 1990-1998, almost 5 times) and is represented mainly by enterprises in Minsk and Grodno. The dominant position in the production of carpets and rugs is occupied by the enterprises of Brest and Vitebsk.

The textile industry includes the following industries:

* Cotton industry producing cotton and semi-cotton fabrics. These fabrics are made from yarns made from cotton fibers or blends of cotton with chemical fibers;

* Woolen industry producing woolen and semi-woolen fabrics. These fabrics are obtained from yarns made from wool fibers of various types or from mixtures of wool with chemical fibers;

* Bast industry, producing linen, semi-linen fabrics, from other bast fibers of fabric;

* Silk industry that produces silk fabrics from natural silk threads, from man-made yarns, yarns from man-made fibers.

1. Characteristics of the received products

In the textile industry, the leading sub-industry is cotton. The products of this sub-industry - cotton fabrics - have been in high demand in recent years. To meet the growing needs of the population in cotton fabrics and to constantly improve their quality and expand the range of products, the cotton industry must develop at a high rate. In this case, the growth in the production of fabrics will be achieved mainly not by building new enterprises, but by improving the work of existing ones: increasing the productivity of labor and equipment, improving the conditions and organization of labor, automation and mechanization of production.

In recent years, an increasing amount of chemical fibers has been processed in the cotton industry, mainly in a mixture with cotton, which gives the fabrics from these mixtures new valuable properties.

The production of cotton fabrics from cotton fibers is a complex and time-consuming process. From the moment cotton is picked from cotton plantations to the packaging of finished fabrics, it undergoes numerous operations, first in ginneries and then in textile mills. Cotton fiber has a number of remarkable properties that make it possible to obtain high quality fabrics, knitwear, threads and other products from it.

Textile cotton factories can be of different types: factories that include all three industries - spinning, weaving and finishing; separate factories - spinning, weaving and finishing or combinations of two industries, i.e. either spinning and weaving or weaving and finishing factories.

The task of spinning mills is to obtain a textile thread from a mass of cotton fibers - yarn, from which various textile products can be obtained in the future: fabric, knitwear, non-woven materials, threads, etc. and twists of textile fibers.

The textile industry produces products of groups A and B. Cotton, linen, wool, silk, used directly for the production of household and technical fabrics, and fabrics going to sewing enterprises for the production of clothing belong to group A. Fabrics, threads, cotton wool, wadding , knitwear and other products sold in trade belong to group B.

Depending on the product range selected in the project, the yarn grade must also be selected. The task is to select such a sorting of cotton, chemical fibers and such a technological process at the factory, so that, with minimal costs for raw materials and processing, produce yarn that meets GOST.

There are two types of yarn requirements: technological and operational. Technological requirements determine the ability of the yarn to be well processed in the production of fabrics and other products, and operational requirements determine the ability of the yarn to have certain properties in the product (fabric) when worn.

The yarn must meet the following requirements:

* have a given linear density with minimal deviations and be even in length, both on small and large sections. Otherwise, the quality of fabrics decreases, the process of their production deteriorates, or cotton is overused;

* have a given strength and minimum unevenness in strength.

* have a given elongation and tensile stiffness with minimal deviations from these indicators in length. Elongation, especially elastic, and stiffness largely determine the structure of the fabric and operational properties;

* have a given twist and be uniform in twist. Due to the fact that many properties of the yarn depend on its twist, compliance with this requirement is of great importance;

* be clean, with a minimum amount of foreign matter and defects in appearance.

Violation of these requirements leads to increased yarn breakage during processing and a decrease in the quality of products.

It should be borne in mind that the cost of raw materials in the cost of yarn is about 70-75% and the optimal choice of raw materials for the production of yarn of the required quality is of great importance.

Yarn is a finished product of the spinning industry and therefore its quality control, as opposed to the control of semi-finished product, is more important. Each type of yarn must meet certain requirements, which are recorded in state standards or technical specifications. However, during its production, for various reasons, defects (defects) appear on the yarn, which reduce its quality. Special methods have been developed to assess the quality of the yarn. The quality of the yarn is assessed by physical and mechanical parameters and defects in appearance. In addition, the quality of yarn winding on a package - a bobbin, a bobbin is evaluated.

Each group of yarn has its own standards. According to GOST 4.8-68, all types of yarn produced by the cotton method are divided into the following groups for their intended purpose: for weaving, knitting and hosiery production; for textile and haberdashery production (basic, weft, patterned); for thread production and technical purposes.

To ensure the production of high quality yarns, certain ratios between yarn and fiber linear densities must be observed. This ratio determines the number of fibers across the yarn, which should be no more than 70-90.

An increase in the number of fibers in all cases has a positive effect on the quality of the yarn, therefore, yarns intended for high quality fabrics should be made from finer fibers. The correctness of the choice of raw materials is checked using the formula of Professor A.N. Solovyov, describing the relationship between the properties of cotton yarn and the properties of cotton fiber from which it is produced.

Cotton fiber, according to GOST, comes in 7 grades, first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades. The definition of fiber grade is based on its maturity, strength, length, moisture content and contamination.

Cotton fiber is used to make fabrics, threads, cotton wool, gauze, knitwear, fishing tackle, ropes, driving belts, artificial silk, paper, tracing paper, tape for the manufacture of explosives, various artificial materials that replace amber, bronze, copper, etc. From seeds cotton plants produce oil and other products.

The textile industry provides fabrics for defense, chemical, engineering, electromechanical, automotive, aviation and other industries, construction, transport, agriculture.

2. Characteristics of the raw materials used

2.1 Classification of textile fibers and the concept of fibers

Textile materials are materials that are composed of textile fibers. These materials include the fibers themselves, threads, as well as products from them.

Textile fibers are elongated flexible and strong bodies with very small transverse dimensions, limited length, suitable for the manufacture of yarns and textiles.

Fibers are divided into elemental and technical. Elementary fibers are called single fibers, indivisible into smaller ones, and technical fibers are complex ones, consisting of several elementary fibers glued together. Both those and other fibers have a relatively limited length - several tens or hundreds of millimeters.

A filament is a filament several tens and hundreds of meters long.

Textile threads are thin, flexible and strong bodies of indefinitely long length, consisting of filaments or filaments joined together and suitable for the manufacture of textiles.

A textile thread obtained by twisting sequentially located more or less straightened elementary or complex fibers is called a yarn. A thread that is obtained by connecting and twisting filaments is called a complex thread.

In nature, there are a large number of different fibers, however, in order to be used in the textile industry, they must have certain properties: first of all, considerable strength, flexibility, have a rough surface, and abrasion resistance. In addition to the general properties - elasticity, strength, wear resistance, the ability to paint, etc. - various fibers also have specific properties, which determines their field of application.

Based on their origin and chemical composition, textile fibers are divided into natural and chemical.

Natural fibers include fibers that are formed in nature without direct human participation and consist mainly of organic heterochain natural high molecular weight compounds.

Chemical fibers include those produced in the factory and consisting mainly of organic hetero-chain and carbo-chain synthetic high-molecular compounds and a very small part of their natural inorganic compounds.

Natural fibers are divided into three groups: vegetable fibers (cotton, flax, hemp, kenaf, sisal, etc.), animal or protein fibers (wool, silk) and inorganic, mineral origin.

Consider plant fibers.

Cotton is the most important textile fiber that covers the seeds of the cotton plant grown in hot climates. After the cotton is ripe, the fibers, together with the seeds, are collected and sent to the primary cotton processing plants, where the fiber is separated from the seeds. Cotton fiber has a number of remarkable properties: great flexibility, tenacity, very small thickness, but great strength and wear resistance. In addition, the fiber dyes well. The length of the fibers is relatively uniform and reaches 25-40 mm.

These properties make it possible to obtain a wide variety of yarns from cotton fibers: from thick yarns for the production of coarse and various furniture and clothing fabrics to very thin, from which fine elegant fabrics such as maya, cambric, marquise or percale-type fabrics for technical purposes are produced.

Bast fibers are found in the stems, leaves or shell of fruits of various plants. In the textile industry, mainly stem bast fibers are used, the most important of which is flax. In the domestic industry, flax occupies 95-97% of bast fibers.

Bast fibers are located in bundles in the bark of flax, hemp and other plants. To trim the fibers from the bark, plants must go through a long natural lobe, then they are subjected to heat or chemical treatment, then they are crumpled and then subjected to scabbling. This process is very complex and lengthy.

In terms of properties, linseed and other bast fibers differ from cotton. They are strong, but coarser and thicker, especially technical ones. The length of the bast fibers is greater than the length of the cotton ones, but has a great unevenness. Therefore, thicker yarn is obtained from bast fibers than from cotton. High-quality linen yarn is used to produce towels, table and bed linen, dress and technical fabrics. Coarser linen yarn and their other fibers (hemp, kenaf, jute) are used to produce container and sack fabrics, as well as ropes and ropes.

Natural fibers of plant origin include wool and silk.

Wool is the fiber that covers the skin of sheep, goats and camels. Distinguish between natural wool, factory and regenerated. The first is obtained as a result of shearing animals, the second - when finishing animal skins and the third - when processing recycled wool.

Wool fibers are longer than cotton fibers, less durable, but more resilient. Due to this, woolen fabrics have a number of valuable properties - low wrinkle, wear resistance and drape, i.e. the ability to well maintain the shape originally given to a product made of these fabrics. Two types of yarn are made from woolen fibers: woolen yarn - thick, soft, with low strength, used for the manufacture of coat and woolen fabrics, and worsted - thin, even, durable, used for the manufacture of dress and suit fabrics and knitwear.

Silk is the thin thread produced by the caterpillar of the silkworm butterfly. Silk threads have remarkable properties. They are strong, smooth, resilient and have a pleasant appearance. To obtain a textile thread from them, it is enough to twist together several elementary threads (fibers). However, only half of the cocoons can be unwound. The other part forms waste, which is processed into yarn in silk mills. Light beautiful dress fabrics, as well as technical ones, are made from silk threads.

Asbestos also belongs to natural fibers.

Asbestos is a mineral fiber that makes up some rocks. Asbestos fibers are 16-18 mm long, so only thick yarns can be obtained from them. Spinning of asbestos can be carried out either in pure form or mixed with cotton. Asbestos fibers do not burn, conduct heat poorly, therefore they are mainly used for the manufacture of refractory fabrics, gaskets and insulation.

Chemical fibers include artificial and synthetic. All man-made fibers are delivered to textile enterprises in the form of staple-short fibers of the appropriate length or in the form of endless threads into a complex one. Artificial fibers are obtained from the processing of natural raw materials - cellulose, wood, cotton fluff and cotton waste.

The most common of the man-made fibers is rayon, which is processed in the cotton industry in the form of a 36-40 staple length. Viscose fibers are smooth, easily processed, dyed, have a low cost, but are durable, especially when wet; used mainly in cotton blends, but also in pure form.

In addition, the chemical industry produces the following artificial fibers: acetate, triacetate, copper-ammonia (in a small volume). All artificial fibers are high molecular weight organic compounds.

Synthetic fibers are obtained from the synthesis of refined petroleum products, coal and natural gas. Glass fibers are made from soda lime glass. Most of the synthetic fibers are high molecular weight compounds (nylon, lavsan, nitron).

The most widespread of synthetic fibers is the nylon polyamide compound. This fiber has great strength, it can be made of various linear density, its strength when wet is almost unchanged. Various dress and technical fabrics, knitwear are made from nylon.

Lavsan fiber is a polyester high molecular weight compound and is produced in the main form of a staple, but also in the form of a thread. Possesses good textile properties: high strength, elasticity, relatively high melting point. Lavsan staple fiber is most often used in a mixture with natural and chemical fibers, which gives the fabrics low creasing, wear resistance, and a beautiful appearance. The most common fabrics are for dress, for men's shirts (cotton-lavsan), for suit half-woolen, as well as for raincoats.

Nitron fiber is a polyacrylonitrile compound and is used mainly as a staple in a mixture with natural fibers. Nitron, in comparison with nylon and lavsan, has less strength, but it has wool. This property increases the heat-shielding properties and gives them a pleasant appearance. In its pure form, nitron is used mainly for the manufacture of technical fabrics.

A characteristic feature of synthetic fibers is their inability to absorb moisture, which is accompanied by the appearance of static electricity during mechanical action on the fibers.

2.2 Physical and mechanical properties of fiber

The physical and mechanical properties of cotton fiber include: linear density (thickness), length, strength, elongation and elasticity, resistance to abrasion, bending, compression, twisting and sliding of the fiber along the fiber, hygroscopicity, color, electrical and thermal conductivity.

Linear density is one of the most important properties of a fiber. This value shows how much a fiber of a certain length has. Linear density is measured in units called tex.

Tex is the mass in grams per kilometer of fiber (yarn) or milligrams per meter (g / km, mg / m).

The linear density of the fiber ultimately determines its transverse dimensions.

The larger the cross-sectional area of the fiber, the higher its linear density. The density of the cotton substance is 1.5 g / cm 3.

The linear density of the fibers is very important. The strength of yarns made from fibers depends on the strength of the fibers themselves and on the frictional forces between them. And these forces will be the greater, the more contacts between the fibers in its cross section, which in turn depends on the number of fibers. Consequently, the thinner the fibers, i.e. the lower their linear density, the more of them will be in the cross section of a given yarn and the stronger the yarn will be. On the other hand, the finer the fibers, the finer yarn with normal tenacity can be obtained from them.

The length of the fiber is also a very important characteristic of cotton, which determines its quality. The longer the fiber, the more it comes into contact with other fibers in the yarn and the more difficult it is to pull them apart. Consequently, longer fibers can produce a stronger yarn of the same linear density or, on the other hand, thinner yarns with normal tenacity can be obtained from longer fibers. In this case, we are talking about a certain abstract length of the fiber.

The strength of a fiber is its ability to withstand tensile forces. To assess the strength, the value of the breaking load is used, that is, the greatest force that the fiber can withstand before breaking. The breaking load of the fiber is determined using dynamometers of the DSh-ZM2 type.

To compare the strength of fibers of different linear density, not absolute, but relative strength is used. For this, the breaking load must be related to the unit of the cross-sectional area of the fiber or its linear density. To assess the relative strength of the fibers, the breaking length of the fiber is used, that is, the length at which the fiber mass is numerically equal to its breaking load.

To assess the quality of cotton fibers as a raw material for yarn production, the uniformity of its basic properties is of great importance.

The uniformity of the fibers is of great importance for the production of yarn, since the more uniform the fibers, the easier it is to produce uniform yarn from them, which in turn largely determines the productivity of the processes of its processing and the quality of the fabrics produced.

Elongation and elasticity are also important properties of fibers. When tensile forces are applied to the fiber, it lengthens, that is, it receives deformation.

There are two types of deformation: reversible, which in turn includes elastic and elastic, and irreversible, or plastic.

Elongation (elasticity) is associated with small changes in the distances between the polymer particles that make up the fibers, and immediately disappears after removal of the load.

Elastic is an elongation (deformation) that disappears after removing the load not immediately, but over time.

Plastic (residual) elongation does not disappear even after removing the load. Elastic elongation is associated with a change in the configuration and rearrangement of fiber polymer macromolecules. Plastic elongation is caused by the fact that irreversible displacements occur over relatively large distances between the units of macromolecules.

Elongation of fibers and especially elasticity is a very valuable property. The more a fiber is lengthened under a given load, the better it will withstand sudden impacts. The higher the elastic elongation of the fiber, the better the fiber withstands multiple loads and the longer it retains its appearance and properties of a product made from it.

Of great importance are also such mechanical properties of fibers as resistance to abrasion, compression, bending and sliding of one fiber over another. The abrasion resistance of fibers is important for two reasons. First, yarns made from fibers with greater abrasion resistance will be better processed into fabric on a loom, where they are subjected to multiple abrasion stresses. Secondly, a product (fabric) made from such fibers will have a longer wear life.

The resistance to compression is important for the transport of cotton, as the loose mass is pressed into bales.

The slip resistance of fibers is determined by their surface and the shape of the fibers themselves. In other words, slip resistance depends on the coefficient of friction and fiber tenacity. The larger these values, the more force must be applied to pull the fibers in the yarn. Therefore, when the yarn breaks, it will only break when the fibers break. If the fibers were completely smooth, that is, there were no friction forces between them, then it would be impossible to get yarn from them.

Cotton fiber has a relatively high coefficient of friction and high tenacity. Therefore, high quality yarns of a wide variety of linear densities are obtained from cotton. The mutual adhesion of cotton fibers is facilitated by their crimp, which in mature fibers reaches an average of 70-100 crimps per 1 cm.

Of the physical properties of fibers, the most important are hygroscopicity, color, thermal and electrical conductivity.

Hygroscopicity is the property of a material to change its moisture content depending on humidity and ambient temperature. Fibers contain a certain amount of moisture. With an increase in air humidity or an increase in its temperature, the moisture content of the fibers increases, and vice versa. If the fiber has this property, then it is hygroscopic. This remarkable property of the fibers largely determines the hygienic and performance properties of fabrics.

The thermal conductivity of cotton fiber is low and it is the lower, the looser the mass. This property is used in particular for the manufacture of cotton batting.

When dry, cotton fiber has low electrical conductivity, which allows cotton fabrics to be used as insulation. With increasing humidity, the electrical conductivity increases. Mechanical stress on cotton generates electrostatic charges, which make it difficult to process. Therefore, factories are fighting this phenomenon.

3. Characteristics of production technology

3.1 Concept of spinning

In the textile industry, cotton, linen, wool, natural silk and chemical fibers are processed into products. The set of technological processes used to process these fibers into yarns of a certain thickness and strength is called spinning.

The set of machines and processes by which fibers are processed into a particular type of yarn is called a spinning system.

3.2 Spinning systems

To obtain yarn from a mass of fibers, cotton must undergo several processing operations. Cotton arrives at spinning mills in a compressed form. After pretreatment at primary processing plants, cotton is cleaned of large weeds and seeds. However, it still contains a large amount of small impurities, as well as damaged (short) fibers. Individual fibers in this mass of cotton are entangled, interconnected in the form of shreds or with weeds. Therefore, the task of all cotton spinning operations includes the subsequent cleaning, loosening and mixing of the fibers, and then combing them in order to parallelize, level and form a gradually thinning product (canvas, ribbon and roving), in order to twist a ribbon of parallel fibers and obtain yarn at the final stage given properties.

The first stage of processing involves loosening the cotton, mixing and cleaning. For this, the mass of cotton from the bale is fed by the feeding grids of the loosening units to the working bodies. Here the cotton is exposed to needles or large, easily removable impurities. The trash impurities through the grates fall into the carbon monoxide chambers, and the loosened cotton mass by pneumatic or mechanical feeders goes to the next sections of the loosening and scutching unit. Cotton comes out of the loosening and scutching unit in the form of a canvas - a compacted layer of cotton in the form of a roll. The canvas must be of a certain thickness. Cotton fibers in the canvas are in a chaotic state in the form of scraps and, in addition, cotton contains a certain amount of small, hard-to-remove trash impurities.

The next operation that takes place on a card is called carding. The cotton is delivered to the machine in the form of a linen or a loosened mass (non-linen feeding). On a carding machine, the mass of fiber is first exposed to the teeth of the serrated tape and rollers, and then to the thin needles of the set of the working parts of the machine. As a result of this, cotton scraps are combed into separate fibers with simultaneous cleaning from tenacious impurities and short fibers. After carding, a ribbon is formed from a partially parallelized thin fleece (carding) of fibers, which is a long loose round semi-finished product with a diameter of 1-3 cm.In the ribbon, the fibers are combed, almost not connected to each other, but not straightened and weakly oriented relative to the axis of the ribbon. The tape itself is uneven in thickness.

For straightening the fibers and straightening the tape, complex multiple tapes are produced, and then the folded product is thinned to the thickness of the original tapes. As a result of folding, the straps are aligned, since the thickened sections are folded into thinned ones. With the subsequent thinning of the product, the fibers are straightened and oriented relative to the axis of the tape. Thinning occurs due to the elongation of the product when it passes through pairs of cylinders pressed against each other (exhaust pairs) and the speed of the previous pair is less than the next.

The task of the next transition is to thin the thread to a size suitable for yarn production. This operation is carried out on roving frames, where the product is thinned on a drafting device. The product of the roving transition is called roving. This is a thin ribbon, which is given a slight twist to give minimal strength.

The last final yarn-making operation takes place on the spinning machines. Here the product - roving - is stretched to the thickness of the yarn, twisted, and a thin and strong yarn is obtained. The spinning process is carried out either on ring spinning machines with spindles and runners, or on spindleless rotor machines.

The described sequence of processing cotton in the spinning industry is called carded (conventional). This system produces most of the cotton yarn. Table 1 shows the stages of processing, technological processes and equipment used for processing cotton fiber into yarn using a carded spinning system.

There is also combed, hardware and melange systems. Carded and combed systems have two spinning methods: ring spinning and rotor spinning.

The hardware system is now beginning to be replaced by a carding system, in which rotary rotor or aerodynamic spinning machines are used.

The melange system, in principle, repeats the carded one, but has additional transitions associated with dyeing cotton.

The combed system produces yarns of low linear density or medium, but with increased strength. For the production of such (combed) yarn, fine-fiber varieties of cotton are used. Compared to carded yarns, combed yarns are stronger, more even, smoother and cleaner. To obtain such a yarn, a combing transition is additionally added to the process. At this transition, the fibers are combed (combing), as a result of which short fibers (stripping) are combed out of the product and removed. The sliver coming out of the comber is made up of long, even, well-straightened fibers, resulting in high quality yarns.

In order for the combing process to take place without excessive loss of long fibers and their damage, the latter must be sufficiently straightened, and the product entering the machine must be uniform. Therefore, the strip from the cards undergoes two additional preparatory operations: joining into laps of 16-20 strips and stretching (thinning) of the laps.

The comb system has a processing sequence shown in Table 2.

The hardware system produces loose fluffy yarn with low strength; the quality of this yarn is subject to reduced requirements. Fibers of various lengths, a large amount of waste (waste), as well as mixtures of their various fibers are used as raw materials. In the latter case, the loosening and scattering of the components is sometimes carried out separately, and then there is mixing with simultaneous oiling of the fibers. A characteristic feature of the hardware system is that the thinning of the product after carding does not occur in the process of pulling it out, but by dividing the fleece (carding) into separate belts and obtaining rovings from them with slight twisting of the belts. Carding with this system is carried out on carding machines, which include 2-3 carding transitions and a roving carriage. The resulting roving is transferred to the spinning machine. In the roving obtained on the carding apparatus, the fibers are weakly straightened, which determines the loose structure of the yarn.

The melange system produces yarn, consisting of a mixture of cotton, dyed in different colors in one color. With this system, the loosened fiber is dyed in apparatuses, dried and fed back to the loosening machines. After that, the fiber is mixed, scuttled and all subsequent operations of one of the described spinning systems.

3.3 Loosening and scattering

The purpose of the processes and the requirements for them.

In bales, the fibers are strongly compressed and therefore tightly connected with each other and with trash impurities. Fibers, even in one bale, are uneven in their properties, the more they differ in different batches that make up the mixture. In order to prepare cotton for further processing, it is subjected to opening, cleaning, mixing and beating. Thus, the purpose of the loosening-scuttle transition is as follows:

1.division of the compressed mass of fibers from the bales into small pieces;

2. the release of trash impurities and fibers that are not suitable for spinning;

3. mixing of fibers;

4. Creation of a uniform flow of cotton in the form of a canvas or loose mass.

This process has certain requirements:

A high degree of cleaning cotton from weeds, good mixing of fibers, no ignition of the fibers and the creation of a product (canvas) of greater uniformity, since it is difficult to obtain ribbon and then yarn of good quality from uneven webs.

The division of the mass of fibrous material into shreds is achieved first by plucking it with the needles of the gratings, and then by blows of the working bodies of the loosening and scutching machines. Removal of trash impurities also occurs by striking the working bodies on the cotton scraps and sucking them off with air. Stirring of the pulp occurs due to the uniform supply of the components of the mixture (cotton from different bales) into the machines, by repeatedly reloading the mass of cotton in the chambers of the machine or by overlaying several layers one on top of the other. To create an even flow of cotton, there are special mechanisms on the scutching machines.

General device and principle of operation of machines for loosening-scutching transition.

Depending on the nature of the cotton being processed, machines of different designs and in different combinations can be included in the opening-scutching unit. There are machines for processing medium staple cotton (carded spinning system) and fine staple cotton (combed spinning system).

For the carded spinning system, there are currently two types of aggregates: a new single-process one with automatic cotton feeding and an old one with manual feeding.

On the new unit, the bales are completely loaded into automatic feeders, the pre-loosened cotton goes to continuous mixers, where fibers of different batches are mixed, then in the inclined cleaners and the inclined cleaners with a condenser, further loosening and cleaning of the debris takes place. The cotton flow is directed to the bins of the scutching machines.

3.4 Scratching

After loosening, mixing and scuttling, the cotton mixture still contains a part of weed impurities, the fibers are not completely separated from one another, are entangled and make up separate small shreds. Further scattering does not allow to completely separate the fibers and prepare the cotton for further technological operations of yarn production. Therefore, the next transition is the process of carding cotton.

Purpose of the carding process and the requirements for it

In the process of carding, the cotton shreds are divided into individual fibers; cleaning cotton from trash impurities remaining in it and partial removal of short fibers; partial straightening and parallelization of the fibers; and finally, the thinning of the product and the formation of the ribbon.

The fulfillment of these tasks occurs due to the use of a special headset in carding machines - a serrated metal tape with teeth or an elastic tape with flexible thin needles. Interacting with each other and with the fibrous mass, the working bodies, covered with the specified set, pull the fibers out of the shreds, separate them from trash impurities, including tenacious ones, and arrange the fibers more or less parallel in the output product - a carding tape.

The comb transition has a great influence on the further process of yarn production, since it is here that an almost finished semi-finished product is formed. In addition, in this process, the removal of trash impurities ends, and all the remaining fibers already enter the yarn. Thus, the main task of the carding process is to obtain a product - a combed tape with a minimum amount of trash impurities, with a high degree of separation of the complexes and good straightening and parallelization of fibers, and most importantly, high evenness of the tape.

At spinning mills, mainly flat carding machines are used, which can be divided into three groups: large (normal) carding machines such as ChMS-450, small-sized carding machines such as ChMM-14 and new double-drum carding machines such as ChMD-4, which ensure high ribbon quality. ... Roller cards are also used.

General device and principle of operation of carding machines

On carding machines of any type with continuous carding, the process consists of three successive operations: thinning the product (canvas) and removing large trash impurities, carding the fibers with toothed and needle surfaces and removing the carding and forming a ribbon.

We will show the device and principle of operation of the carding machine using the example of the ChMM-14 machine, which has received the greatest distribution in recent years (Figure 3.3). The canvas is laid between two canvas racks and the canvas roller 2, rotating, rolls it out and feeds it to the feed table 3 under the feed cylinder 4. The feed cylinder feeds the canvas to the receiving unit, where it is sequentially developed by the drums - the receiving 5 and the transmitting 6 and the working rollers pairs - working 7 and cleaner 8. The fiber from the transfer drum 6 under the action of the serrated tape teeth goes to the main drum 9 and enters the carding zone: the main drum - hats. As a result of the interaction of cotton with the teeth of the tape of the main drum and the needles of the caps, there is an intensive separation of the fiber complexes into separate ones, as well as their parallelization and partial straightening. Hat strip 10 consists of 74 needle-coated caps (strips), of which 24 are in use.

The combed fiber from the main drum 9 goes to the removable drum 11. From the removable drum, the comb is removed by roller removal 12 and passes through the pressure rolls 13, under the action of which the trash impurities are crushed, followed by falling out of the cotton. Further, the carding enters the forming funnel 14, where the ribbon is formed, then into the drafting device 15.

The machine is equipped with self-stops, stopping it when the belt becomes thinner or breaks, the cover of the belt layer is opened, the space between the belt feed and the feed rollers clogs with the belt. In addition, the machine is equipped with a dedusting device with suction of dusty air and a mechanism for removing waste from under the machines.

3.5 Pre-spinning (obtaining roving)

The purpose of prespinning is to produce a thinner product from the belt called roving.

Rovnitsa is a thread that has a loose structure, a relatively high evenness and a certain thickness. Rovnits are made from ribbons.

The ribbons are heterogeneous in their structure and not uniform enough in thickness. The belts are very thick compared to rovings and yarns. In this regard, during the production of roving, the belts pass through a series of machines, on which the gradual leveling and thinning of the product by 5-20 or more times, achieved by folding and stretching, continues. At the first transitions of the roving frame machines, the fibers are greased with an emulsion. Sizing increases fiber slip during pulling, reduces electrification and increases roving yield due to reduced fiber breakage and waste.

Previously, due to the lack of high-drawing devices, to obtain fine yarn, sequential processing of a semi-finished product was used on three to four roving frames.

Moreover, a thick roving was obtained from the first (pelvic) machine, and from subsequent transitions - a distillation, thin and extra-thin roving. Nowadays, thanks to the use of high-drawing devices on roving frames and spinning machines, it has become possible to produce yarns of small and medium thicknesses, with one roving transition or one-stage spinning directly from the ribbon.

3.6 Spinning

The purpose of spinning is to produce yarn from a semi-finished product (sliver and roving) entering the spinning department. The essence of spinning lies in the thinning of the incoming semi-product to a given linear density, in giving the resulting product (yarn) by means of twisting the required strength and forming by winding a certain package: a cob or a bobbin.

Certain requirements are imposed on spinning as the final stage in yarn production.

The spinning process must provide high quality yarn that meets the technological and consumer properties.

The process should be as continuous as possible. With a high breakage, there is a decrease in the productivity of the machine and an increase in waste. The yarn produced at high breakage on the spinning machine is poorly processed in the weaving industry.

Depending on the methods of thinning and shaping the product (spinning methods), a distinction is made between ring or spindle and spindleless spinning machines. Ring spinning machines are subdivided into warp and weft spinning machines. On the basis of the machines, the yarn is wound on paper cartridges in packages (cobs) with a mass of 60-100 g., The yarn from the cobs is rewound into bobbins. On weft machines, the yarn is wound on wooden spools and used in this form directly on the weaving machine.

In recent years, ring spinning machines have appeared that provide a high degree of product thinning (drawing up to 60 or 100). On such machines, the semi-product can come in the form of a tape, bypassing the roving transition. Thus, ring spinning machines can be roving frame (conventional) and roving frameless.

Of the spinning-less spinning machines, pneumomechanical machines of the BD-200 type have found practical application in industry. machines for rotary spinning (rotor spinning), mechanical, electromechanical and hydraulic spinning methods are also being developed.

Spinning machines of any spinning method are designed to thin the product (ribbon or rovings) by pulling it on drawing devices of various designs, providing a draw from 10 to 100; forming strong yarn from a sliver using a twisting mechanism - a spindle and a runner on circular machines and a pneumatic chamber on spindle-less machines and winding the produced yarn onto a package - a cob (spool) or a cylindrical bobbin.

3.7 developing a spinning plan

Selection of the spinning system, i.e. the choice of a certain range of machines on which the raw materials will be processed to obtain yarn are closely related to the development of a spinning plan.

The spinning plan is the main document of the spinning mill that defines the yarn production technology. It contains the master data defining the threading of the machines of all transitions to produce yarns of the required linear density and quality. The spinning plan determines the performance of all machines and their number.

The drawing up of the spinning plan and the selection of technological equipment are carried out in parallel, since the technical capabilities of the machine affect the parameters of the spinning plan. On the other hand, changing individual parameters of the spinning plan sometimes necessitates a change to the earlier machine selection made.

The development of a spinning plan is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. selection and justification of the linear density of all semi-finished products, the number of additions and extracts carried out on the machines of all transitions.

2. selection and justification of the rate of release of the product on all machines, as well as the rotational speed of the spindles on the roving frame and spinning machines.

3. Calculation of the theoretical productivity of the machine, release, spindle, kg / h.

4. calculation of the output of one machine, release, spindle and other parameters.

To substantiate each parameter of the spinning plan, it is necessary to use the technical literature, as well as know the experience of leading enterprises.

It is necessary to strive for the greatest use of the capacity of the exhaust devices, obtaining a high productivity of the equipment by increasing the frequency of rotation of the issuing bodies of the machines. Stretching and equipment speed should be selected within reasonable limits so that the quality of the product and the level of breakage in spinning would ensure economical use of raw materials, maximize yarn yield from cotton blend, sufficiently high service areas for key production workers and ultimately the minimum cost of yarn.

Optimal, i.e. The best spinning plan is one that requires the lowest capital equipment costs, provides the best working conditions, and ensures high product quality.

Basics of fabric production

The fabric is made from yarn, which in turn is made from fiber. The quality of the resulting fabric is highly dependent on the characteristics of the fibers.

Fibers are classified into natural and chemical, derived from natural raw materials or obtained as a result of chemical synthesis, for example, polymer fibers.

The entire technology is conventionally divided into three stages:

Spinning;
Weaving;
Finishing.

Spinning

The basis of fabric production is spinning. This is the process that produces a long thread - a yarn woven from short fibers. This production process is carried out on a spinning machine.

The fibers produced by the factory are usually compressed into small bales. Then they are loosened and rubbed on the appropriate machines, while cleaning them from impurities of debris. The scutching machine produces a canvas from the threads, which is rolled into a roll.

The resulting canvas is then passed through carding surfaces covered with fine metal needles. At the exit, after carding, a tape is obtained, which must be leveled on a draw frame, and then slightly twisted on a roving and twisting machine. After these operations, roving is obtained.

On a spinning machine, the roving is leveled and stretched, then wound onto bobbins. The spinning machine for the production of fabrics is operated by spinners. Their responsibilities include eliminating yarn and roving breaks, changing bobbins and maintaining equipment.

Yarn is used to make:

jersey;
sewing threads;
non-woven and woven fabrics.

Synthetic yarn

For the synthetic production of fabric, a more complex technological scheme is used. From the starting components, a liquid and viscous spinning mass is obtained. It enters a spinning machine specially designed for processing synthetic fibers.

Fibers are formed using special dies - this is a small metal hood with many small holes inside. With the help of pumps, the mass enters the die and flows out through the small holes. The flowing out streams are treated with special solidification solutions.

The creation of a synthetic fiber is also the spinning of that fiber. Depending on what the fabric is intended for and what quality is required, the number of threads twisting into one is calculated. After finishing, the threads are wound on bobbins and sent to weaving.

Weaving

The direct process of making fabric from yarn is called weaving. Equipment for production at this stage is served by weavers, who can operate up to fifty automatic looms.

On a mechanical machine, the weaver replaces empty spools, eliminates thread breaks. The employee must know the requirements for the quality of the fabric, the parameters of the defective fabric and the reasons for the appearance of defects, the measures for preventing and eliminating the defects. When the weaver starts the loom, it begins to combine the yarn into a woven fabric.

Threads and weaves

There are transverse and lobar threads, intertwined in different ways. The lobular threads are guided along the canvases as they are thinner and stronger. The transverse threads are thicker, in short, tend to stretch.

The fabric obtained on the loom is called harsh. Threads woven from fibers of different colors are called melange. A fabric made of melange threads is called similarly. But if threads with different colors were used for the production of woven fabric, the fabric is called multi-colored.

The properties of the future fabric depend on the type of weave:

Large-patterned weave - jacquard;
Complex weave - pile, pike, openwork, looped, double;
Simple weave - twill, satin, linen, satin, crepe and diagonal.

Small-patterned weaves are made on a single shuttle automatic loom. Multicolored and complex weaves - on a multi-shuttle automatic loom, large-pattern - on Jacquard looms.

How fabric is made

Fabric finishing

The last stage of production is finishing. It improves the quality and properties of the fabric, gives it a presentation and strength, depending on what processes involve finishing.

Finishing can be done:

teasing;
whitening;
mercerization;
scorching;
boiling.

When singing, protruding fibers are removed from the surface of the harsh cloth. Desizing involves soaking the fabric to remove the dressing - the impregnation applied during weaving.

Boiling removes any impurities from the canvas, and mercerization gives shine, strength and hygroscopicity by washing. When bleached, the fabric is discolored, and when nailed, they give it softness.

Final finishing

The final finishing includes such processes as:

calendering;
expansion;
dressing.

Calendering involves flattening the web, widening - flattening it to a standard width, finishing - applying starch for density, whiteness for bleaching, or wax or oil for shine.

Equipment

Fabric production requires a fairly rich production line. Let's consider the main types of production equipment, without which the manufacture of woven products cannot be started.

Loom

Designed for the manufacture of woven fabric, it can be shuttleless and shuttle, round and flat, wide and narrow. Weaving looms are selected depending on what kind of fabric needs to be produced: linen, silk, cotton or woolen.

Special equipment for working with a loom that produces decorative and patterned fabrics, carpets and other rugs.

Sizing machine

Impregnates fabrics with an adhesive solution called dressing. This is necessary for the production of wear-resistant and special fabrics, for example, for workwear.

Rolling machine

It is used to roll the resulting fabric into a roll or bobbin using an automatically rotating roller. A properly maintained knurling machine works more efficiently than the manual winding of the web by weavers, especially on a production scale.

Dyeing line and printing machines

Allows to dye fabrics with natural or synthetic dyes. The printing machine applies color prints with ink or dissolves the stencil pattern onto the finished dyed fabric.

Washing and measuring machines

The washing machine washes and dries woven fabrics after printing or dyeing, and inspection equipment is used to check the quality of the finished woven product, its length, width, density.

Scraper and shaker machines

Used when processing flax fibers to obtain shorter fibers. Shaking machines loosen the short fiber and give it a presentation.

Carding and spinning machines

The carding machine processes flax fiber and makes ribbons out of it, while the spinning machine produces yarn with the required strength. The spinning machine can be spindle or spindleless, the first, in turn, is subdivided into weft and main.

This is just the main line of equipment, you may also need:

linen cotoning lines;
beating machines;
squeezing and drying machines;
wool washing and cotton processing devices.

It depends on the direction of the enterprise.
