COMBINED CHAIN & CHAINLESS
MERCERIZING RANGE FOR KNIT & WOVEN FABRICS

MAIN ADVANTAGES OF MERCERIZING

  • BEST OF THE BEST QUALITY MERCERIZING AND MAXIMUM SHINE, DIMENSIONAL STABILITY, & DYE OUTPUT THROUGH CAUSTIFICATION.
  • HIGHER SHINE / LUSTER, SOFT & SILKY FEEL.
  • FOR KNIT FABRICS & KNITWEAR.

NEXUS CHAIN MERCERIZING RANGE IS USED FOR TEXTILE PROCESSING OF OPEN WIDTH PREMIUM COTTON KNITTED FABRIC WITH HIGH QUALITY & PRODUCTIVITY. THE RANGE HAS EQUIPPED WITH AN OPTIMUM LENGTH OF PIN CHAIN SECTION FOR CONTROLLING THE WIDTH-WISE DENSITY OF FABRIC. ‘NEXUS’ CHAIN MERCERIZING RANGE GIVES FASTEST MERCERIZED EFFECT ON COTTON FIBERS WITH RESULTS OF DEEPER SHADE IN REACTIVE DYED OR PRINTED FABRICS.

ABOUT FABRIC MERCERIZATION MACHINE

MERCERIZATION AND IT IMPORTANCE:

IMPREGNATION OF COTTON, IN THE FORM OF YARN OR FABRIC, WITH SODIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION (CAUSTIC SODA) AT A CONCENTRATION IN THE RANGE 200-220 GPL (GRAMS PER LITRE) AT 20°C OR 60°C UNDER CERTAIN TENSIONIS CALLED MERCERISATION.

THE FOLLOWING PROPERTIES ARE IMPROVED AFTER MERCERIZATION:

TYPES OF FABRIC MERCERIZATION:

1. CHAIN MERCERIZATION MACHINE

2. CHAINLESS MERCERIZATION MACHINE

CHAIN MERCERIZING

CHAIN MERCERIZING IS DONE ON A RANGE EQUIPPED WITH TENTER CHAINS FOR TENSION CONTROL. THE RANGE CONSISTS OF A PAD MANGLE FOLLOWED BY A SET OF TIMING CYLINDERS AND THEN A CLIP TENTER FRAME.

FRESH WATER IS SPRAYED ONTO THE FABRIC TO REMOVE THE CAUSTIC SODA AS IT IS HELD TENSIONED IN THE TENTER FRAME. THE TENTER FRAME IS FOLLOWED BY A SERIES OF OPEN WIDTH WASH BOXES WHICH FURTHER REDUCES THE CAUSTIC LEVEL. ACETIC ACID IS IN ONE OF THE LAST BOXES TO COMPLETE THE NEUTRALIZATION OF CAUSTIC.

PROCESSING BENEFITS

BEFORE MERCERIZE
(WRINKLED FIBER SURFACE)
AFTER MERCERIZE
(SMOOTHER FIBER SURFACE)

DUAL BENEFITS OF MERCERIZING OPEN WIDTH KNITTED AS WELL AS WOVEN FABRICS INCREASED ABSORBENCY OF KNITTED FABRICS IMPROVES LUSTRE OF THE KNITTE FABRICS INCREASED DIMENSION STABILITY OF THE KNITTED FABRICS INCREASED DYE ABILITY. 15-20% LESS DYE CONSUMPTION COMPARED TO UN-MERCERIZED KNITTED FABRICS EXCELLENT APPEARANCE POST DYEING AND PRINTING .

COMPARISON OF SAME COLOUR ON MERCERIZED & UN-MERCERIZED KNITTED FABRIC

MERCERIZATION IS A PROCESS IN WHICH THE KNITTED AS WELL AS WOVEN FABRIC IS TREATED WITH CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF LIQUID CAUSTIC TO INCREASE ITS STRENGTH, ANTI-SHRINK QUALITY, LUSTER AND INCREASED DYE AFFINITY.

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE

MACHINE IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO RUN KNITTED FABRICS SMOOTHLY. DE-CURLING UNIT TO PREVENT EDGE CURLING OF KNITTED FABRICS. SCROLL ROLLS TO PREVENT CREASE FORMATION LOAD CELLS FOR TENSION CONTROL IN KNITTED FABRICS ADVANCED IMPREGNATING SECTION WITH CAUSTIC DENSITY CONTROL HIGH EFFICIENCY CIRCULATION PUMPS FOR UNIFORM CHEMICAL APPLICATION ADVANCE CHAIN SECTION AND STABILIZING SECTION DRUM WASHERS AND SQUEEZERS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR KNITTED FABRICS.

VARIOUS TYPES OF MERCERISED KNITTED FABRICS

MERCERISED KNITTED FABRICS ARE IN GREAT DEMAND FOR MAKING KNITWEAR/GARMENTS FOR NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL HIGH-END FASHION BRANDS.

ADVANCED EFFICIENT DRUM WASHERS OF TENSION-SENSITIVE TEXTILES

MAIN ADVANTAGES

  • DUE TO THE LEADING WASHING DRUM'S "FRONT AND BACK WASHING" TECHNOLOGY, THE MECHANICAL WASHING EFFECT IS EXTREMELY HIGH.
  • DUE TO COUNTER-FLOW WASHING TECHNOLOGY, THE FABRIC TENSION IS EXTREMELY LOW AND CONTROLLED.
  • THE FABRIC IS TRANSPORTED WITHOUT CREASES EVEN WHEN THE FABRIC IS DELICATE. CONTROLLED ELONGATION OF ELASTANE AND SYNTHETIC FIBRES.
  • SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED OVERFLOW BLADE FOR REMOVING GREASE AND OIL DURING PREPARATION WASH

WASHING EFFECT DUE TO THE LEADING DRUM WASHING TECHNOLOGY

PRINCIPLE OF "FRONT AND BACK WASHING" THE WASHING LIQUID SEEPS INTO THE FABRIC AND LEAVES A "LM OF LIQUOR" ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE GARMENTS CONTAMINANTS ARE SWIFTLY REMOVED ON BOTH SIDES IN THIS WAY. COMPARED TO STRAIGHTFORWARD NET OR PERFORATED DRUM SYSTEMS, THE WASHING EFFECT IS INCREASED BY 40%.
