Compacting

Parameters Achieved Through Compacting

Compacting

  • GSM control of the knitted fabric. For high GSM, overfeed is increased and fabric width is decreased. For low GSM, overfeed is decreased and fabric width is increased.
  • Control shrinkage
  • Twisting control
  • No Increase smoothness of fabric
  • Heat setting is done of fabric etc.
  • Shade Check: Shade of the compacting fabric is checked in the delivery side of the machine. The operator collects the fabric and compare the shade of the fabric with the buyer’s approved swatch.
  • Width Check: Operator measures the width of the fabric with the measuring tape and compares it with the buyer’s requirement.
  • Weight Check: Weight of the fabric is determined by GSM check. Operator checks the GSM of the fabric by GSM cutter and electric balance.
  • Edge Line Checking: Two edges of the fabric is check in delivery side. If any fix line is identified, which normally occurs from the expander it should be connected.
