Pretreatment
Before starting fabric production, yarns need to be pretreated, such as spinning, plying, and sizing. This step ensures that the yarn has good strength and the proper texture.
Weaving
Weaving is the process of interlacing warp (vertical yarns) and weft (horizontal yarns) to form fabric. Common weaving methods include plain weave, twill weave, and satin weave. Different weaving methods affect the appearance, texture, and performance of the fabric.
Drawing-in and warping
Drawing-in is the process of arranging yarns in a specific order, while warping involves winding the drawn yarns onto the loom's beam to ensure smooth weaving.
Looming
The warp and weft yarns are loaded onto the loom, preparing them for weaving. This includes tensioning the warp yarns and securing them to the loom's beam, as well as feeding the weft yarns through the shuttle or jet.
Weaving process
Under the operation of the loom, the warp and weft yarns interlace in a specific pattern to form the fabric.
Doffing and inspection
After weaving is completed, the fabric is removed from the loom and undergoes a preliminary quality inspection. This step ensures that no damage or defects occurred during the weaving process.
Finishing
After weaving, the fabric needs to undergo a series of finishing processes, such as bleaching, dyeing, printing, and heat setting. These processes improve the appearance and performance of the fabric, increasing the product's added value.
Quality inspection and packaging
8.After the entire production process is complete, the fabric undergoes a comprehensive quality inspection to ensure it meets customer requirements. Qualified products are then packaged and shipped to the market for sale.
