In a counterflow washing process, fresh water is introduced only at the exit wash unit and counterflows back toward the dirtier units. This process increases water consumption at each separate washing stage, but the overall water consumption is reduced considerably. In textile dyeing and printing, counterflow washing is applied because most of the water consumption is related to the washing of the materials. Besides, counterflow washing provides a more efficient cleaner wash. Since 1985, the use of counterflow washing machines has resulted in a decrease of water consumption and a corresponding reduction in the volume of the wastewater. Many textile companies have adopted the counterflow washing process. The further development of these washing machines has resulted in the optimisation of the washing process leading to a further reduction of the water consumption. With the implementation of the counterflow washing process, a water savings of 75% can be achieved.
Conclusion
Portable spectrometer – Counterflow washing can be applied to all washing processes in the textile industry, with the exception of washing processes that take place in yarns painting equipment, flake painting equipment and reel barrels. Converting a conventional washing process to a counterflow washing process has a payback period of several years.
This option supports you in getting an overview of the energy use in your company.
Energy consumption is one of the largest cost-drivers in textile processing and a major source of environmental pollution. Collecting and generating data about energy consumption are thus key steps to improve the efficiency in textile processing. The reasoning behind it is quite simple: “if you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it”. Using the generated data will help you to draw a trend line of your performance over different time-periods (benchmark), to identify improvement options and to set targets. With a benchmarking process you can compare your performance internally as well as externally, with industry averages or competitors.
In order to determine the consumption of energy (including electricity, fuel, steam and other energy carriers) you can use the following table. Please determine the processes where the largest amount of energy is used. State the energy carrier and the total amount used. Check the section Further Information for conversion table of energy units in Mega Joules (MJ).
Conclusion
If Micropipette available, use data from the last fiscal year or the last quarter and state the chosen time-period in the table. Otherwise collect the necessary information. Also, try to fill out the total energy use, which should not simply add the rows above, but summarise the energy consumption of all processes.

Greige fabric keeps without clear identification (missing some Bin card for different fabric roll and keep in same stack with different specification and buyers), with excess height (no lockable step ladder) and stacks such a way which did not allow for easy access. Greige fabrics are stored considering proper identification and within safety height limit. Lockable step ladder has been provided and stacks are keeping in proper manner that anyone can access easily.
Manufacturing Tracability
PURPOSE:
Company has a system with ability to trace materials from
raw materials source to finish product and vice-versa.
RESPONSIBILITY:
Every related Applied for all related departments who are
responsible product manufacturing.
PROCEDURE:
Must write down Customer full name with details in all
record & documents.
Store dept. must be maintained requisition form for received
& supplied criteria with related other department.
Cutting department also maintain a requisition form when
feed cut panel to the sewing section.
Each & every quality inspector applies an identity code
(QC PASS) number after finished their product quality inspection both sewing
& finishing.
All pattern in used at sewing section, must be sealed & signed
by responsible QC in-charge.
When stock all fabric & accessories in store department,
must have a BIN Card where write full identity with details the stock fabric or
accessories.
Must be maintain

Most defects arising in the production process of textiles and apparels are detected by inspectors. In order to promote consistent inspection decision from factory inspector, we recommend our factory to provide adequate inspector training in recognizing fabric and apparel defects and cause.
Under the new concept of Auto Sportswear Quality Assurance program and partnership with our factories, Definition and Classification of Defects are developed and established as follows: Read more about Non-Contact Portable Spectrometer
Defect Definition:
Critical Defects: A
defect that fails to meet mandatory regulations and/ or affects the safety of
the consumer. Results in automatic
rejection of inspection.
Major Defects: Any defect severe enough that it would result in customer dissatisfaction, or generally classify the garment as a second, or of less quality.
Minor Defects: An imperfection that may or may not cause a second, depending upon it’s location in the finished garment.
Apparel Defect Classification
A simplified list of defects, explanation and the judgments
are used in classifying apparel defects found in final inspection.
Fabric defects Classification
A fundamental list of defects, explanation and the judgments
are used in classifying both woven and knit fabric defects.
Factory Quality Control Manager should offer continuous
inspection training with showing written standards, using sample fabric
standards / defective garment samples and photograph.
