“Study An Effective And
Consistent Finishing Effect
Through Stabilizing Dryer on
Knit Fabric“
Total Textile Process at a Glance
Introduction
Types of Dryer :
Gas Dryer
Stem Dryer
The basic function of the dryer:
To dry the fabric.
To control the over feed system (Shrinkage control)
To control the GSM of the fabric.
Important Parts of dryer m/c:
Conveyor net
Chamber
Burner
Exhaust air fan
Over feed roller
Filter net
Fan
Nozzle
Stenter machine:
Stenter machine is very important for finishing
knit fabric in open form. It can be used for the
following functions:
Heat setting is done by the stenter for lycra fabric, synthetic
and blended fabric.
Skew and bow are controlled through stenter.
Finishing chemical apply on fabric by the stenter.
Loop of the knit fabric is controlled.
GSM, Dia, Spirality, Shrinkage, Moisture of the fabric is
controlled by stenter.
Fabric is dried by the stentering process.
Curing treatment for resin, water repellent fabric is done by
the stenter.

COMPACTOR MACHINE:
Compactor is a textile finishing machine which is
designed specially for compacting 100% cotton knitted
fabric like jersey, pique, interlock & rib etc. as well as
cotton blended fabric in rope form
The basic functions of the Tube compactor m/c:
Tube compactor is used to finish knit fabric in tube form
To control the GSM. (Increase & decrease).
To control dia.
To control the shrinkage. (Increase & decrease).
Functions of the Open Compactor m/c:
To compact the fabric in open form
To control the GSM. (Increase & decrease).
To control the dia.
To control the shrinkage. (Increase & decrease).
Important parts
Overfeed roller
Expander
Blanket
Steam sprayers
Cylinder
Teflon covers
Special note on compactor finishing:
In case of light color padder pressure should be low.
Otherwise shade will be lighter.
If the padder is not clean, then line mark can appear in the
fabric.
Fabric dia, extension, speed, compaction & overfeed will
vary depending on the fabric type and finishing
requirements.
In the case of low GSM S/J fabric padder pressure and
speed will be maximum.
In the case of high GSM S/J fabric then padder pressure and
speed will be minimum.
In case of Lycra single jersey fabric, speed & padder
pressure will be minimum.

GSM isn’t adjusted GSM is adjusted
Shrinkage is high Shrinkage is removed
Problem of compactor m/c:
Hand feel may be not good
Shrinkage problem
Low GSM
Width may be not adjusted
Remedies of problem:
Sunforising device can solve this problem. This device
can easily control of low GSM fabric. About 10 GSM
can be controlled . Dimensional stability can be also
controlled.
Brio machine:
It is one of the latest finishing m/c in textile. It can be
used in stead of Tumble dryer. It can finish of textile
material without any change of fabric appearance.

Ultra-soft m/c:
Ultra soft machine is used to increase softness of
fabric. This is a mechanical process of finishing.
Note:
If speed of carbon brush is high then softness will be
high
Softening action is done on the face side of the
fabric.
At least 5% GSM of the fabric will reduce after
brushing.
Dust storage unit is present.
Dia of the fabric will reduce after brushing (ex-20%)
and thus fabric must run to the stenter m/c after
brushing.
Brushing Machine
By the brushing machine back side of the fleece fabric
is brushed.
Note:
Brushing action is done on the back side of the fleece
fabric
Fabric is run in m/c for 3-6 times until the target is
achieved.
fabric GSM will reduce.
This is a mechanical action and once produced cannot be
changed.

Conclusion: In this project, different important
factors are discussed on knit fabric finishing that can
impact on finishing. All the reports are done by
practical knowledge from different industry and
finally some important factors which are obtained
from knitting to dyeing and finishing. So deviations
are obtained and the reason of the problem must
observe to avoid in further. Because customers are
always worried about the product quality. We hope
this project work will be very helpful in our practical
industrial life.
