EXPERTISE FRAMEWORK

Managing knitted fabric, dyeing and finishing as one production chain.

Each expertise page follows one technical structure: process objective, machinery, critical parameters, control points, common defects, root cause and corrective action.

01

FABRIC FORMATION

Knitted Fabric

Stable fabric weight, width and surface quality require the joint control of yarn properties, machine gauge, stitch length, feed tension, take-down and elastane delivery.

WET PROCESSING

Dyeing

Pretreatment adequacy, water quality, liquor ratio, pH, conductivity, dosing, the time-temperature profile and fabric circulation must be assessed within one process record.

FINAL PERFORMANCE

Finishing

Stentering, compaction, relaxation, chemical application and mechanical surface treatments jointly determine final fabric performance.

Production Chain Approach

KNITTING
DYEING
FINISHING

The structure created in knitting affects behaviour in dyeing; tension and chemical load introduced during dyeing and washing directly influence finishing. The three processes are therefore consecutive links in one quality system.
