SIZING
A very vital and unique installation in Supreme Sizing and Weaving Mills was in 1996, The 5 point DC driven high speed multi cylinder sizing machine-AMBICA TEXMECH. The second huge leap of expansion was installed in 2005 with 2 point DC driven high speed multi cylinder sizing machine- HI-TECH. The above 2 machines are mechanized with 2 size box along with moisture, temperature controls, after-waxing andall other modern attachments with a winding of upto 1250 mm diameter, 130inches length beam holding capacity, back creel of 24 beam adoption.
In our process the strength — abrasion resistance — of the yarn will improve and the hairiness of yarn will decrease. The degree of improvement of strength depends on adhesion force between fiber and size, size penetration as well as encapsulation of yarn. Different types of water soluble polymers called textile sizing agents/chemicals such as modified starch, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), acrylates are used to protect the yarn. Also wax is added to reduce the abrasiveness of the warp yarns. The type of yarn material , the thickness of the yarn, type of weaving machinery will determine the sizing recipe.
The sizing liquor is applied on warp yarn with a warp sizing machine. After the weaving process the fabric is desized (washed).
