How compacting machine used in knitted cotton fabric?

Compacting Machine is a textile finishing machine which is designed specially for sanforizing cotton and cotton blended knitted fabric. Changing the fabric dimensional stability. Fitted with two felt compacting units which makes it to obtain top quality fabric, with minimized shrinking nature and a soft fluffy hand.[/vcex_teaser][/vc_column][/vc_row]----ALIDO textile finishing machine

丨Types Of Compacting Machine丨

Compacting machines are two types.  

1. Tubular fabric sanforizing machine
2. Open-width compacting machine

丨Fabric Compaction Process丨

Compacting machine produces greater density and stability (e.g. the Sanforset process) and gives the fabric a controlled compression shrinkage, which eliminates distortions originated during previous processes. The fabric finished with this treatment keeps its shape also after repeated washing thus providing an excellent dimensional stability of the textile substrate. The fabric is fed into an opener/tension-adjusting device, and subsequently passes through a wetting unit where the quantity of water necessary for bulking the material is sprayed on the fabric.

丨Function Of Compactor丨

Compacting machine is important machine in knit fabric finishing process. There are a lot of technical work which are done by Compacting machine. These works as below:

1. Fabric GSM. For high GSM, overfeed is increased and fabric width is decreased. For low GSM, overfeed is decreased and fabric width is increased. 

2. Fabric water shrinkage 

3. Fabric twisting and stability control 

4. Fabric smoothness

5. Fabric Heat setting 6. Fabric hand feel to be premium grade
