What is Stalwart Machine? Wool Washed and Drying

Stalwart Machine

The print head of the stalwart machine consists of up to four print rollers, which run in troughs containing a thin print paste with the caret pile to be printed being pressed against the upper surface of the print roller from behind. The print rollers are arranged at 45 to the vertical one above the other. Maximum running speed is about 6m/min.The individual print rollers consist of steel centered wooden bowl on the surface of which is mounted the design. The design is cut from thick rubber covered with a nylon or polyester pile. Read about Rotary-Screen Printing Machine

Limitation of the Stalwart machine:

As the narrowest rubber strip that can be mounted on the roller about 4 mm wide. The machine has however proved ideal for the production of the so called shadow-printed effects on the long pile carpets, which have remained in fashion for many years.

Material:

Mainly it is used yarn wool (raw material). Most of the yarn used in ring yarn, acrylic yarn, synthetic yarn etc. These yarns are collected from Narayangong. The yarns are buying by a lot system and this lot gets different types and color of yarn.

To produce carpet use the frame of wood, bamboo and iron rod etc.And also use different instrument like kamana, golla, panga (reed) etc.

They are also used some specialized yarn shanel yarn, smaglin yarn etc.

Wool Washed and Drying:

Wool is one kind of natural fiber. So, different types of impurities involved in wool yarn. If we remove impurities the final product will fine. So we have to washed and dry the wool.

Objective of Wool Washed and Drying:

To remove the impurities from yarn.

To remove oil y properties of yarn.

To increase soft handling properties.

To suitable for the next process carding.

Procedure:

It also done by manually. In Egypt, Malaysia, also Bangladesh carpet manufactured by manually:

First have to mix the detergent into water at a bath.

Then drops the yarn into bath.

Stirling the yarn in to water by any stitch.

Then dry the yarn by sunlight.

Carding:

This is the process of spinning where it is functions are to separated align and delivery the fiber in a sliver form and remove impurities.

Objective of Carding:

Opening to individual fibers.

Elimination of impurities and dust.

Elimination of impurities Short fiber.

Fiber blending.

Fiber orientation

Spinning:

The process by which convert of fiber to yarn.

Objective of Spinning of carpet:

By spinning 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ply yarn can be produced.

Cost analysis of Carpet:

           We don’t know about foreign carpet yarn cost due to barrier of project. But we know imported carpet cost from new markets shop. In Bangladesh there have some carpet manufacturer.

►Narayangonj

►Chak bazar, Dhaka.

►Gulistan, Dhaka.

Export and Packaging:

Object:

►To package the product.

►To dispatch to Buyer

3.4.3Pretreatment of carpet:

In front of the printing machine there are the conventional carpet take up rolls, a space for butt sewing a j-box or compensation roller storage unit followed by a back better and a lint extraction system.

It is not usual to give wet pretreatments to the carpet before printing because the materials that may still be on the fiber such as spin finishes do not in general interfere with the absorption of the print paste or the fixation of the dyes. An exception arises with some carpet qualities improve if they are pre washed a about 60 C BEFORE PRINTING.

This rewashing produces a bulking effect on the fiber which can not be achieved by steaming alone although pre steaming is sometime use in place of hot water treatment.

In some cases superior penetration is obtained on pre wetted carpet one example is the printing of longer pile carpet. After wet pretreatment the carpet is passed over powerful extraction slots to reduce the residual moisture the between 50 and 80 pick up, depending on carpet quality. Carpets may also be pre added with a ground shade for certain resists, displacement and discharge process

3.4.4After Treatment:

No dyes can be completely fixed on carpet fibers so that residual dye as well as the chemicals and thickening agents must be removed by cold water alone is used in contrast to textile printing practice. Only in the case of polyester and acrylic carpets are heated wash tanks considered. Two or three bath preferably with countercurrent water flow is used. A typical carpet printing range requires a wash water flow of 20-40×103 1h. To accelerate the interchange between the liquor on the carpet and the wash water various agitator systems have been used in addition each exit path form the liquor should have a spray pipe and mangle squeeze or better an extraction slot. A particularly good effect can be achieve using perforated drum wash units in which the liquor actually passes through both the pile and the backing of the carpet

Where heavy very shades are being produced cross staining of washed off on to pale or whit ground shades may occur. This can be avoided by passing the carpet through a mildly alkaline bath as it leaves the steamer. This also improves the wet fastness of the print as the alkali aids the removal of unfixed dye.

Description of Carpet Manufacturing Process Flow Chart (Hand made basis):

Wool Shorting:

Wool yarn is mainly used in carpet manufacturing. In carpet manufacturing process yarns have to sort we know there are different grades of yarn min together. They have different shade variation, staple length variation, etc. For this reason we have to sort first those yarn.

Objective of Wool Sorting:

Differentiate same grade yarn.

To combined the same length yarn.

To eliminate the faults of carpet.

To helpful for next carpet manufacturing process.

Procedure:

It is a manual process .It is mainly done by hand.

From wool lot, we have to diffeintiate different kinds of yarn according to their length color or shade and difference grade.

Then it wills suitable next process.

Carpet design in Bangladesh:

In “Society Handicrafts” different kinds of design can be done. They can do any kind of design. Aarrong gave them swatch or design and finally they sketch in graph paper and also make a sample of carpet. Then they a take an approval from Aarrong and go for bulk production.

The first establishment was originally started in Paris in the famous “Saint Germain des Prés” area under the name of Jules Flouron, a relative of Georges Cholleton senior who managed it after his return from World war I, from 1919 to his death in 1956, it was then operated by his son Pierre Cholleton (a former officer from the French free forces during World war II and during war in French Indochina) till 1978 year of his desperation.

Over the 20th century Cholleton became one of the main French company specialized into outside blinds, awnings and canvas as one the very first globally specialized into blackout as flame retardant fabrics for hotels and hospitalities curtaining.

Already in the 60’s and the 70’s Cholleton’s blackout fabrics were specified all over Europe, including the ex SSRU, in Africa or Middle East as for prestigious hotel contracts in the Far East.

Over a hundred years, the Cholleton Company became also one the very first globally specialized into blackout as flame retardant fabrics for hotels and hospitalities curtaining. It was already involved at that time into major hotel projects all over the world, such as Hotel Cosmos Moscow in Soviet Union, Hyatt hotel in Bangkok, Orchard Hotel in Singapore, first Meridien Hotels in Saudi Arabia as former UTH hotels (which was the roots of Air France Hotels group) all over Africa, Middle East and Far East as Ivory Intercontinental hotel in Abidjan – Ivory Coast or several Hilton and Sheraton hotels in France and abroad.

Tissues and Stores Cholleton (Cholleton Blinds and Fabrics) was also the supplier of prestigious customers such as the French National Assembly (French National Parliament) ,the Palace of The Elysée (Housing and offices from the President of the French Republic), the RITZ and BRISTOL hotels in Paris, or the NEGRESCO in Nice as numerous four and five stars hotels in France and all over Europe.

From 1978 to 1982 the group went thought a major reorganization following the desperation of Pierre Colleton and his son Georges P. Colleton was the one who decided from 1982, after having met the just-new owner at that time of Trafford carpets UK the re-orientation into the contract carpet world and more specifically into ax Minster contract carpets for hotels and hospitalities.

Axminster contract carpets custom made for a casino.

Today’s Agence Cholleton is still a wool carpet specialist and the sole agent and exclusive distributor for some of the best European residential and contract carpets manufacturers for France, several European countries and of course the entire Middle East and North Africa, but we have also now implemented over the last few years our own residential and contract carpets collection worldwide distributed.

Side to Side and End to End Shade Variations-

Definition and Causes: In medium to heavy weight woven fabrics, which are dyed in Jigger machines or in a continuous dyeing range, this is a very common and reoccurring problem.

Generally, the main causes are

  • Incomplete de-sizing of the fabric (removal of yarn’s starch),
  • The uneven distribution of dyes during the dyeing process.
  • This is due to the fluctuation and variation of the pressure in the winding and unwinding rollers.
  • In knit and some light weight woven fabrics which are dyed in Jet dyeing systems, this problem can rarely be seen.
  • This, however, occurs more in the finishing process and will be discussed in the finishing section.

Preventive Suggestions:Regular maintenance and upkeep of the dye machines will contribute towards reducing this problem. Preparation of the greige goods prior to the dyeing is also very important.

Corrective Measures:In most cases, stripping and removing the base color and re-dyeing will correct the problem.

In severe cases, over-dyeing to a darker shade or black may be the only solution.

Irregular Sizing (Slashing)-

Definition and Causes: During the slashing process, in order to increase the tensile strength of the yarns and prevent breakage, starch based chemicals are applied. In some cases uneven application of the starch causes uneven surfaces in the yarn which can cause breakage and holes.

Preventive Suggestions:Correct and precise slashing is of utmost importance.

Corrective Measures:For this problem no corrective measures are available.

Yarn Breakage-

Definition and Causes: Due to the elastic nature of the Elastane-based stretch yarns, controlling the in-feed tensions of these yarns, fed individually or in plated form, is a critical part of the knitting process.

Slight increase in the applied tension will result in breakage of the yarn particularly in finer counts (20, 30, and 40 Denier counts).

Preventive Suggestions: Constant measurements of the tension must take place. For most structures, the tension should not exceed 4 grams.

Corrective Measures: For this problem no corrective measures are available.

Oil Stains-

Definition and Causes:

  • The distinctive oil stains which appear on the surface of the greige goods are normally a result of knitting machine’s needle lubrication system.
  • During the knitting loop formation, due to machine’s speed of revolution and the frictional forces between the yarns and the needles, a certain degree of heat is generated.
  • In order to prevent the elevation of this temperature, at certain pre-determined intervals the lubrication system is made to function and sprays of oil mists are applied to the needles and the cam areas.
  • During this process and in a lot of cases the greige goods get contaminated.
  • Normally, however, if the oil that is used is of the water-soluble and natural based type it can easily be removed by a simple scouring process.
  • In some cases, as a cost saving measure, some knitters use non-emulsified type of oil which is rather difficult to remove. These types of oil stains will appear as lighter shade spots after dyeing.
  • Another type of oil stains are the ones from the silicone based lubricants that are normally applied to the Spandex yarns.
  • In some cases, during the knitting process, and due to the generated heat some residue of this lubricant remains on the fabric. This type of oil stain is also very difficult to remove.

Preventive Suggestions:

  • The use of water-soluble knitting oil is strongly recommended.
  • Also, to the extent possible, Spandex yarns with non-silicone lubricant must be used.
  • Corrective Measures:
  • In most cases an “oil-scavenger “type of industrial detergent will be able to remove the stains.
  • In more severe cases a strong solution of an alkaline based chemical such as Sodium Hydroxide or Soda ash may be required.
  • When dealing with Spandex related stains care must be taken to ensure that the stretch and the recovery of the yarn is not adversely affected.

Runs and Slippage-

Definition and Causes

These are common problems with basic synthetic knit structures such as Single jersey and Interlock, particularly when textured filament yarns of higher filament contents are used (96 and above).The causes are basically the slippage of the fibers and the ease with which the knitting loops can slide over each other.In most cases, these runs are directional which means that the start of the knitting roll exhibit more runs than the end of the roll.

Preventive Suggestions:

In order to reduce and control these runs and stabilize and reinforce the Wales, at the start of the knitting, for approximately 30 knitted courses, cotton yarns are knitted in to the greige goods. This is also repeated at the end of the roll. This will ensure that no runs occur during the dyeing process thus reducing the fabric damage.

Corrective Measures

During the finishing process, in order to reduce the fiber slippage, the dyed fabric needs to be treated with an anti-slippage chemical through padding. This chemical is usually a solution of Colidal Silicate. Basically this chemical increases the fiber’s coefficient of friction and creates a non-slippage condition.

The application of this treatment might, however, affect the softness of the fabric and must be used in small quantities.
