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:
