Abstract:
This study pretend to assess the effects of drying on knit fabric properties. Mainly Dryer machine
works to eliminate the extra water remains on fabric after de-watering. By using dryer machine
many properties of fabric like: GSM, Dia, WPI, CPI, Stitch length, Yarn count can also be
controlled. We observed many fabrics treated on open dryer machine from load to unload and
collected samples and we also noted the parametrs (GSM, Dia, WPI, CPI, Stitch length, Yarn
count) data both before and after.We thoroughly assessed the data and calculated the rate of
changes of various properties of various knit fabrics. Dryer is a essential and primary machine
for textile finishing sector.We collected the data from a open dryer from santex. The origin of the
machine is Switzerland. The machine can be heated up to 180 degree. Minimum temperature of
the machine is 80 degree. The machine can run at a maximum speed of 80 meter/min and at a
minimum speed of 5 meter/min. The machine can give a maximum vibration of 900 to the fabric.
In this project we observed many different compositions of single jersy fabric, Rib fabric and
many other knitted fabrics. We noted and calculated the data very carefully.
