Study on the effects of sanforizing machine on the properties of woven fabric

Abstract

Sanforizing machine is a very imperative machine in textile finishing process. Sanforizing machine is generally used in textile finishing sector because of having many advantages such as controlling of the fabric GSM, width, shrinkage. Sanforizing process is a mechanical process which is done by the sanforizing machine. It was very significant to observe the effects of sanforizing on woven fabric properties. The project title was here by designed as “Effect of Sanforizing Machine on the woven fabric properties”. We have selected 9 (nine) different woven fabric samples including twill, poplin & canvas those were used in this research work. The objective of our work was to assess the effects of sanforizing machine on woven fabric properties. GSM and EPI, PPI, Shrinkage, Width of those woven fabrics were calculated before and after sanforizing and the effects have been observed. By this work it has been seen that after sanforizing the fabric width is decreased because the fabric yearns comes closer for sanforization by sanforizing machine. But few of the fabric EPI, PPI & GSM are increased after Sanforizing. The process of changing this parameters is related with the machine speed, temperature and overfeed (%) and that were studied very carefully.
