TEXTILE
A Textile was originally a woven fabric but now the term textile and its
plural textiles are also applied to fibers, filaments, yarn and most product
for which these are a principle raw material, the product includes threads,
cords, ropes, braids, woven, knitted, non-woven fabrics, nets, household
textile, geo-textile, medical textiles etc.
WEAVING
Weaving is the action of producing fabric by the interlacing of warp and
weft thread. The warp threads are placed along the length of the fabric
and the weft threads are placed along the width of the fabric.

There are three types of package winding available.
1. Parallel wound package
2. Near parallel wound package
3. Cross wound package
Parallel Wound Package Features

•
Much yarn can be wound at a time.
No need of traversing motion.
Side withdrawal is possible.
The density of yarn is more.
No change of twist/inch.
For yarn unwinding separate mechanism is needed.
Two side of the package needed flange.

PACKAGE DRIVING
TYPES OF PACKAGE DRIVING
There are three types of package driving system.
1. surface contact driving (indirect system)
2. direct driving at constant angular speed
3. Direct Driving At Variable Angular Speed
1. SURFACE CONTACT DRIVING (INDIRECT SYSTEM)
In this system, the yarn package is placed with a surface contact of a
drum. The drum is driven by a motor and same gear. When it rotates
the package also rotate is reverse direction.

2. DIRECT DRIVING AT CONSTANT ANGULAR SPEED
In this system the package is placed on a spindle and spindle gets motion by a
motor and some gears. So, that package gets a constant angular speed. Here
yarn take up rate is directly proportional to the package dia.

3. DIRECT DRIVING AT VARIABLE ANGULAR SPEED
In the system yarn package is directly driven at a variable angular speed to give a
constant yarn speed. Here the package speed is inversely proportional to the
package radius,
I.e. Package speed
1
Package radius

BALLOONING
The appearance of the curved path of running yarn during unwinding or over
end withdrawn from packages under appropriate winding condition through a
guide, placed above and in line with the axis of the package at an adequate
distance from it, the yarn assumes the appearance of a balloon shape. This
circumstance of assuming balloon shape of yarn is called ballooning.

FACTORS EFFECTING THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF BALLOON
1. Package size Ballooning
2. Yarn guide distance Ballooning
3. Lift the package Ballooning
4. Count of yarn Ballooning
5. Air resistance Ballooning
6. Unwinding rate. Ballooning

YARN WITHDRAWAL OR UNWINDING
The unwinding process of yarn from a package is called yarn withdrawal. There
are two types of yarn withdrawal system:
1. Side Withdrawal
2. Overend Withdrawal
1) Side Withdrawal
The features of side withdrawl of yarn are given bellow;
a. Package will rotate in side withdrawal.
b. Yarn twist will be unchanged.
c. No formation of balloon occurs.
d. It is applied to flanged bobbin.
e. The rate and speed of unwinding is slow.

2. Overend Withdrawal
The features of overend withdrawl are given bellow;
a. Package remains stationary during unwinding.
b. Formation of balloon occurs.
c. Twist/inch of yarn changed.
d. Generally cop, pirn, cone, chess are packages used for overend
withdrawl.
e. The rate of unwinding is high.

YARN GUIDE
In winding and unwinding some small component control yarn path which is
very necessary, yarn guide is used to perform this job.
TYPES OF YARN GUIDE
There are two types of yarn guide
1. Yarn Guide For The Yarn Whose Ends Are Required For Threading;
For this type of yarn guide extra time is needed for threading. So speed of
operation is decreased. The yarn which passes this guide faces more
friction.
Like Ceramic, Tumpet, Bust
2.Yarn Guide For The Yarn Whose Ends Are Not Required For
Threading;
Here threading is very easy. So the speed of the operating is high. Yarn passes
through this guide faces less friction.
Figure: Yarn Guide

TENSION DEVICE
During winding, we have to impart proper tension to yarn, so that we can get a
stable and undamaged package. So we pass the yarn through a device called
tension device.
Types of Tension Device
There are four types of tension device as follow;
a) Capstan Tensioner.
b) Additive Tensioner.
c) Combined Tensioner.
d) Automatic Tensioner.

A.CAPSTAN TENSIONER
It is the simplest type of yarn tensioner. It works only by deflecting the yarn around
fixed posts. This includes a capstan effect on yarn. It works by the following formula:
Output Tension = Input Tension × eμ
θ
or, T2 = T1 e
μ
θ
Where,
T2 = Output tension.
T1 = Input tension.
e = Constant
μ
=Co-efficient of friction.
θ= θ
1+θ-2+
θ
3 = Angle of lap.

B. ADDITIVE TENSIONER
This is also a simple technique of applying tension of yarn. In this device a dead
weight or spring is used in the middle of the two surfaces in contact and the
force is applied to give suitable tension to the yarn. Hence the output tension is
expressed by,
T2 = T1 + 2μF
Where,
T1 = Input tension.
µ = Co-efficient of friction.
F = Applied force.

C. COMBINED TENSIONER
It is the combined form of additive and capstan tensioner. The device permits the
tension level to be raised to any desired level, but doesn’t permit a reduction of
tension. Here output tension is expressed of follow:
T2 = T1 + 2μ
F = T1 eμ
θ
Where,
T1 = Input tension.
µ = Co-efficient of friction.
F = Applied force.
θ= Angle of lap.

D. AUTOMATIC TENSIONER
It is a simple tensioner in which yarn tension is controlled automatically. It has a lever
with spring loaded disc in one side and applied load in another side. The device is
designed in such a way that if applied tension is too high. The pressure on disc is
reduced to bring the tension back to its proper level.

EFFECT OF TENSIONING DEVICE
There are some effects of tension to yarn or package: They are
a) If tension is too high.
b) If tension is too low.
c) If tension varies.
•

WARPING
OBJECTS OF WARPING
• To prepare a beam to make a
fabric.
• To increase the weave ability of
fabric.
To make a convenient yarn
sheet for sizing.
To wound up required length of
yarn onto a warp beam.
To facilate the weaving of
complex color pattern.
To make reusable small
packages
•

•
Winding is a part
of total number of
ends of a warp in
full width on to a
back beam from
cone or cheese is
known as
warping.

REQUIREMENT OF WARPING
During warping the following requirement should be
fulfilled.
1. The tension of all wound ends must be uniform and
possibly constant throughout the withdrawal process.
2. Warping should not impair the physical and
mechanical properties of yarn.
3. The surface of warping package must be cylindrical.
4. A pre-determined length of yarn should be wound on
beam from every package.
5. The production rate of warping is as high as possible.
6. If possible, yarn faults should be removed

TYPES OF WARPING
Mainly there are two types of warping,
a) Direct/ high speed warping
b) Sectional warping.
Some Other Special Types of Warping Are Available
a) Ball warping
b) Chain warping
c) Cross warping
A) DIRECT/HIGH SPEED WARPING
High speed warping is a process of preparing warp beam directly from yarn
package. Here all the yarns are wound on a simple flange beam at a time. This
process is suitable for single color pattern.
B) SECTIONAL WARPING
Sectional warping is a process of preparing warp beam over two stages. In first
stage yarns are wound in narrow tapes on a large drum. Then in the second
stage the rewinding of the warp onto a beam is slow but suitable for complex
color pattern.

FEATURES OF SECTIONAL WARPING
• Sectional warping is suitable for producing color fabrics with different pattern.
• Production in sectional warping. So it is costly process.
• In sectional warping tension cannot be kept uniform.
• Tapered drum is used as drum here.
• Hand weaving is necessary to produce for simple fabric for bulk production
FEATURES OF HIGH SPEED WARPING
•High speed warping is suitable for producing fabric with same count & same color
yarn.
• Higher amount of yarn is required here.
• The speed & production of a high speed warping is very high.
• Here simple flanged.

Control System in Warping
• Tension control
• Balloon control
• Stop motion
• Yarn cleaner
• Length control
• Surface speed control
• Proper yarn density
• Static electricity
• Traverse control
• Fly control
Faults in Warping
• Off center warp
• Rigid or uneven warp
• Cross end
• Sinker formation
• Hard/soft beam
• End missing
• Haphazard knotting
• Length deviation

Relation between Taper Angle and Amount of Yarn on a Beam
Let, s = traverse length.
L = axial
d = empty beam dia.
D = full beam dia.
dm =
= mean dia.
X = tape distance
α = taper angle
v = volume of yarn stored on beam.
Let, s >x so as to maintain stability.
V =
-
= (
From figure, it is clear that
- ) = πL ( ) ( )
So, v = π L dm (x tanα)
V > π L dm S tan α
V < π L dm S tan α
if, x > s
if, x < s
So, V S tan α if α = 90° then V = α
So unlimited amount of yarns can be wound if flange stays perpendicular to beam barrel. Practically
this is impossible. But this type of package permit’s to wind high amount of yarn.
dm = = x tan α

SIZING
The method of applying a gelatinous film forming substance of starch on warp
yarn before weaving is known as sizing.
Object of Sizing
•To protect the yarn from abrasion with heald eye, back rest, reed etc. during
weaving.
• To improve breaking strength of cellulosic yarn.
• To increase yarn smoothness.
• To reduce yarn hairness.
• To increase yarn elasticity and stiffness.
• To decrease yarn extensibility.
• To hinder generation of static electricity for synthetic and blended yarn.
• To increase yarn weight.

1. Adhesive
2. Lubricants or softeners
3. Antiseptic or antimildew agent
4. Deliquescent or Hygroscopic agent
5. Weighting agent
6. Anti-foaming agent
7. Tinting agent
8. Wetting agent
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES OCCURE DUE TO SIZING
The following technological changes of a yarn/fabric occurs due to sizing –
1. INCREASE IN BREAKING STRENGTH
2. INCREASE ABRASION RESISTANCE
3. INCREASE IN STIFFNESS
4. INCREASE IN ELASTICITY
5. INCREASE IN FRICTIONAL RISISTANCE
6. INCREASE IN YARN DIAMETER
7. DECREASE IN YARN HAIRINESS

SIZE CALCULATION
MATH-1: A beam of wt. 290 lbs. contains 3500 sized warp of 1300 yds length. It
the unsized yarn count is 28 Ne and empty beam wt. 70 lbs., then calculate -
1. Wt. of size on yarn.
2. Count of sized yarn.
3. Size take-up percentage.

LOOM
The loom is the contact point of the whole process of cloth production, ginning,
opening, carding, spinning, winding, warping, sizing and beaming are done before
weaving. A loom cannot be said a machine but it is a device which is used to
produce woven fabric. Looms are generally driven either by line shaft or by
individual motors fitted with it.
Weaving Mechanism / Basic Principle of Weaving
Weaving is the process of interlacement between the warp and weft in fabric
according to a design of fabric.
Basic principle or weaving mechanism is:
•The yarn from the weavers beam passes round the back rest and comes forward
through the drop wire of the warp stop motion to the heald eye of heald shaft which
is responsible for the purpose of shade formation.
•It then passes through the dent of reed which holds the thread at uniform spacing
and it is also performed the beating up the weft thread that has been left in the
triangle warp sheet form by the two warp sheet and reed.
•In this way, weft yarn is meshes with last pick of fabric or cloth. Temple holds the
cloth firm at the feed position and assist in the formation of a uniform fabric width.
Then fabric passes over the front rest, take up roller, pressure roller and finally wind
on to the cloth roller.

DRIVING MOTION
➢It is seen that the figure that, two tappet mounted with the one bottom shaft and it
passed the treadle lever by treadle bowl to down direction.
➢There is a fulcrum at the end of treadle lever and another end of lever is joined
with heald shaft by yarn.
➢Top roller acts as intermediate of two rope of heald shaft from which rope passes
over the top roller.
➢When shedding cam or tappet pressed on the treadle lever by treadle bowl, then
one heald shaft is down while another is up and shedding is formed. Such way, 2nd
shedding tappet reverses full motion i.e. upper heald shaft is down and down heald
shaft is up.
➢The mechanism of a power loom receives their motion from shaft that traverses
from side to side in the loom and is driver from another. Their relative speeds are of
importance since they give the mechanism that they drive.
➢The crank shaft being driven by the motor moves one revolution per picks. The
motion of the teeth of the gear wheels connecting this shaft to the bottom shaft is
always 2:1, so that the bottom shaft will move one revolution in ever two picks.

FUNCTION OF SINKER
There are three function of sinker.
1. Loop formation
2. Holding down
3. Knocking over
1.Loop Formation: On bearded needle weft knitting machines of straight bar frame
and sinker wheel type, the loop forming action is performed. The purpose of a sinker
is to kink the newly laid yarn into loop as its forward edge of advance between two
adjoining needle.
2.Holding down Sinker: The second function is hold down the old loop a lower
level on the needle stem, then the new loop which are being formed and prevent to
old loops from being lifted as the needles rise to clear from their hooks.
3.Knocking Over Sinker: The third function of the sinker is to knock over the
old loops on the neck of the new loops.

3. CAM
The knitting cams are hardened steels and they are the assembly of different cam
plates so that a track for butt can be arranged. Each needle movement is obtained by
means of cams acting on the needle butts.
The knitting cams are divided in to three groups. Such as
1. Knit cam
2. Tuck cam
3. Miss cam

1. It has the similar appearance to pearl droplets.
2. Purl structure have one or more Wales which contain both and back loop-.
3. Both sides’ needle and sinker loops are prominent.
4. The thick of the two needle bed in purl m/c.
5. Double ended batch needles are used in purl m/c.
6. To types of m/c is available for purl structure.
a) Flat m/c
b) Circular m/c
7. The simple purl structure is 1×1 purl.
8. Purl fabric is twice as thick as plain fabric.

KNITTING ACTION OF RIB CIRCULAR M/C

Knitting Calculation
No. of feeder = No. of cam = No. of course.
No. of sinker = No. of needle = No. of loop = π D’’ G mm

Production =
Π D’’ G l ×N ×F ×T × 60 × 8 kg/shift
1000×1000 × 1000
Here,
D’’ = cylinder dia
G = gauge
L = stitch length
F = No. of feeder
T = tex number

For single jersey:
Production in weight,
RPM of Cylinder × No. of feeder × π × Cylinder dia × gauge
× loop length (mm) × Tex × 60 × 8 × efficiency %
= kg/shift
1000 × 1000 × 1000
Production in length,
CPM
CPI
= yards/shift
RPM of cylinder × No of feeder × 60 × 8 × efficiency
%
CPI × 36
Production in length = yds/shift
For Double Jersey
Single jersey production in length
2
Production in weight = Single jersey production in weight × 2 kg/shift

Math-1
Given,
CPI = 66
Cylinder dia = 25’’
Cylinder RPM = 20
Loop length = 2.2
