Description

Yarn singeing process (known as gassing) is one of the latest methods to remove the hairiness from the yarn surface so that a smoother surface of yarn could be available for the fabrication causing less fabric hairiness and ultimately affecting positively the fabric properties especially the pilling. The singeing of yarn is accomplished by passing it over a gas flame at a speed sufficient to burn away the protruding material without scorching or burning the yarn. Different yarn singing machine variables like winding speed, gas pressure and air pressure may affect different properties of the yarn, such as appearance, fineness, evenness and especially its tensile properties and ultimately the quality of the end product. Similarly in order to get high quality knitted fabric and for the control of processing faults the friction control during knitting is one of the most important factors. For this the yarn waxing is done.Hence the present research study was planned to evaluate the affects of yarn singeing and waxing on the quality of Single Jersey Fabric in order to choose the best combination and achieve excellent manufacture results.
