  • 26. Dry Finishing of Wool Fabrics
    26. Dry Finishing of Wool Fabrics Mike Pailthorpe Learning objectives By the end of this lecture, you should be able to: • Describe the various methods that are available for the drying of wool fabrics. • Understand the need for conditioning wool fabrics after drying. • Outline the methods used in the brushing of wool fabrics. • Describe the process of shearing. • Outline the principles involved in the decatising of wool fabrics. • Explain the need for the steaming of wool fabrics. Key terms and concepts Drying, conditioning, raising, shearing, singeing, pressing, decatising, steaming, perching. Introduction The so called dry finishing processes for wool fabrics follow on after hydroextraction and scutching, beginning with drying. One of the objects in wool fabric finishing is to dry the fabric only once, thereby making substantial energy savings. Drying is the process of removing water from wool textiles via the application of heat energy. The three methods of transferring heat energy from one object to another are conduction, convection and radiation. However, for a variety of reasons, convection dryers are preferred for wool fabrics, with the stenter being the most widely used drying machine. After drying the wool fabrics must be conditioned to a regain of 14-16% before further processing. Depending upon the finish required, the wool fabrics may then either be shorn to remove surface fibres or brushed to create a pile of surface fibres. The brushed pile may be shorn to cut the pile fibres to a uniform height or to achieve a sculptured pattern. The wool fabrics are then pressed using either flat, rotary or belt presses to achieve the desired appearance, lustre and handle characteristics.

  • Chapter 6 Mutual Evasion Between Afghanistan and the Global Marketplace
    Connecting Histories in Afghanistan Shah Mahmoud Hanifi Chapter 6 Mutual Evasion between Afghanistan and the Global Marketplace The Sethis of Peshawar and the British Recruitment of Secret Asiatic Agents The Sethis of Peshawar are the city's most renowned and historically active family trading 1 firm. The Sethi firm was based in Peshawar and had branches of operation throughout India, Afghanistan, Central Asia, and beyond in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. According to senior representatives of the family interviewed in 1995, the family migrated from the town of Bhera in the Punjab to Chamkani, a village suburb a few miles east of Peshawar, during the period of Sikh rule.1 At that time the family is said to have dealt in karakul wool, copper, gold thread, skins, Russian crockery, dried fruit, and, especially tea and timber. Branches of the Sethi family business in Shanghai and Vladivostok organized the export of Chinese tea to Central Asia via India and Afghanistan.2 The Sethis indicate that Abd al-Rahman granted their family the right to lease the Jaji forest in the Paktia province of eastern Afghanistan from where they exported timber through Parachinar to Thal in British India.3 In Kabul the Sethi business house and serai complex was located in the southeastern section of the city near the masjid-i hamam in Shor Bazaar and the two streets where the Hindu population was concentrated, guzar-i kalan and guzar-i khurd. In Peshawar, the center of their mercantile network, the Sethis funded the construction and renovation of many mosques and bridges.

  • Inter-Asian Connections
    Conference on Inter-Asian Connections Detail of migration map of Asia: courtesy UNHCR Conference Proceedings February 21-23, 2008 Dubai, United Arab Emirates Co-Organized by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) and the Dubai School of Government (DSG) Funded by the Ford Foundation Sponsored by DSG, Zayed University, the University of Dubai, the National Bank of Dubai, and Dubai Properties INTRODUCTION This international conference brought together over one hundred fifty leading scholars from renowned universities to explore an exciting new frontier of “Inter-Asian” research. The conference was organized around eleven concurrent workshops featuring innovative research from the social sciences and related disciplines on themes of particular relevance across Asia. Workshop themes, directors, and participants were selected by an SSRC committee in a highly competitive process: the conference organizers received 105 applications for workshop directors and 582 applications for workshop participants. In addition to the eleven workshops, the conference also showcased the work of the South Asia Regional Fellowship Program (SARFP), bringing together fellows who had been awarded collaborative grants to work on inter-country projects in the South Asia region. The structure and schedule of the conference were designed to enable intensive working group interactions on a specific research theme, as well as broader interactions on topics of mutual interest and concern to all participants. Accordingly, a public keynote panel and plenaries addressing different aspects of Inter-Asian research were open to all participants as well as the general public. The concluding day of the conference brought all the workshops together in a public presentation and exchange of research agendas that emerged over the course of the deliberations in Dubai.

Development of knitting machines that permit high production rate and which allow for textured effects has been partially responsible for this newly re-awakened interest in knitted outwear. Standard-Coosa-Thatcher,a leading producer of mercerized cotton yarns used for knitted constructions visualized an increasing market for their products in this area and became interested in developing mercerized yarns and technology of knitting processes that would yield a knitted product having greater dimensional stability in use than was now possible with existing pro- ducts. A research agreement was entered into with the subject corporation for the School of Textile Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology to make a study to more precisely define the problem and to develop improve.d methods for processing the yarn for knitting, and to devis_e innovations in existing technologies for converting the yarns into a knitted product. The project emerged from the conference stage in December of 1964 when Messrs McCarty, Lathem and Fle.ge representing Georgia.

Jhatial2 e-mail: [email protected] 1 Department of Textile Engineering, Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro. 2 National Institute of Science and Technical Education, Islamabad. ABSTRACT: A table top singeing machine was designed for small scale singeing the cotton woven fabric. The machine was comprises of six tension rollers, a burner with adjustable flame angle and runs at the acceptable speed of 10- 30 m min-1. The rollers and burner were made from M.S pipe material. For singeing process trial, a grey fabric sample after manually pre-cleaning was wound on the let-off roller and threaded through the machine rollers up to take-up roller. The flame angle (45o) was adjusted according to the fabric condition (mild or sever singeing). Singeing process was carried out at the speed of 20 m min-1 by turning on the machine drive and the flame. The fabric was continuously released from the let-off roller, passed through the burner flame and wound onto the take-up roller. The singed fluff on the fabric surface was manually removed with brush after singeing. The machine can singe only one side of the fabric and suitable for laboratory scale singeing. Keywords: Singeing Machine, Burner, Flame Angle, Cotton Woven Fabric, Protruding Fibres. INTRODUCTION machine was designed and later manufactured in such a way Singeing is the process of removing protruding fibres from that all the objectives of singeing process could adequately the yarns and/or fabric surface hence improves the efficacy be achieved.
