Abstract:
This study has been sorted on effects of compacting on different knitted fabric properties. For
complete this study we have used sample fabric of compactor machine before compactor and after
compactor. We took multiple samples of four type of fabric Single jersey, Rib (1×1), Single
Lacoste, and fleece. We have measured this samples (after compacting sample) GSM, Fabric
width, Stitch length, WPI, CPI, Yarn count and this measuring data we have compared before
fabric of compactor machine. We saw sometimes this data increase and sometimes decrease. In
the case of GSM and the data has increase, and for fabric width the data has decrease. Because
their demand was increase GSM. On the other hand for yarn count the data sometimes has
increased and sometimes decreased. For WPI CPI and Stitch length most of the time the data has
increased, and in a very short time the value has been decreased. We have evaluate the value after
and before compacting fabric of compactor machine. Also we studied on compactor machine. How
it’s act on fabric structure for increase and decrease of GSM, fabric width, stitch length, WPI, CPI,
yarn count. We also studied about machine parts, and their function of compactor machine.
