What role do Lean Manufacturing principles play in optimizing garment factory operations?
Excess inventory, high defect rates, long lead times and limited flexibility represent too many garment factories today. However, lean manufacturing techniques can transform this excess into optimized efficiency, reduced waste and maximum profitability.
Do you achieve Quality Indices?
Key metrics like re-process rate (RFT%), defect rate, color fastness and shrinkage represent the quality of your finished textile products. When these indices meet or exceed industry standards, you benefit through reduced waste, lower reworking costs, higher customer satisfaction and greater opportunities for growth.
Do you know the best techniques for optimizing the productivity and efficiency of your knitting machines?
Every seam, stitch and square meter of knitted fabric starts with your knitting machines. The specific techniques, technologies and processes used have a direct impact on key metrics like production speed, quality, waste and costs. Slowing down decreases productivity and profitability.

Textile Industry Softeners & Latest Developments
A large number of consumers in the fast
fashion world uses different sets of
apparels and textile products for
different end uses, namely nightwear, office
wear, children's wear, winter or summer wear, is a unique selling point (USP) parameter that
leads to a final purchase decision.
Convolutions in Cotton Fibres
Cotton is a versatile fiber. Amongst the various natural fibers such as linen, sisal, hemp, ramie etc. cotton still holds the market value in textile manufacturing industries right from spinning to medical textiles due to its inherent physical properties like flexibility and ease of blending with other synthetic and regenerated fibers. Similarly, the versatility of the cotton fiber has been found that it excels in many consumer goods than all of the other textile fibers concerned.
Why 3D printing is gaining traction in textile sector?
3D printing enriches the work of the textile and fashion industry and motivates future designers and scientists to engage in further exploration, informs Dr K H Prabhu.
Biosynthetic fibres gaining interest in the textile industry
Here, Dr K H Prabhu highlights the importance of biosynthetic fibres, the feedstocks, market potential and also discusses the important fibres such as Polylactic acid (PLA), Poly Trimethylene Teraphthalate (Bio-PTT), Biobased Polyethylene Terephthalate (Bio-PET), Bio-based Polyamides (BioPA).
Know the key process variables in vortex spinning
The yarn structure and the quality of the yarns produced from vortex spinning has more relationship with process variables during the yarn manufacture, explains Dr G Nagarajan.
Sports Textiles – Your Road to Success
Technical textiles have been classified in to various categories such as industrial textiles, agro textiles, medical textiles, geo textiles and so on. Amongst the various textiles in which the individual textile occupies relative importance to the other, Sports textiles contribute 10% of the world technical textile market.
Fundamentals of Roving twist in short staple spinning
Twist in the roving for cotton yarn spinning is calculated based on the premise that the twist is directly proportional to the square root of the size (hank) of the roving material in the English system. Spinners have customarily used staple length as major criteria in deciding the twist in roving, no doubt that the staple length of fibres is the chief criterion while buying and selling of cotton.
Tips to reduce defects in knitted fabric
Yarn quality plays a significant role in the downstream processes like knitting and weaving. The performance of the yarn in knitting and weaving are judged by the stoppages of the machine, defects in the fabric produced. Any abnormality in the fabric due to defects would impair the aesthetics character of the fabric. Although fibre and yarn qualities are equally important for their performance in knitting, many mechanical variables affect the avoidable defects in the knitted fabrics.
Spinning - Performance improvement
One of our clients has an installed capacity of 25,000+ spindles. The mill has a wide range of modern machineries from Blowroom to Autoconer, Warping, Sizing and 150+ Airjet looms.
Smart Textiles - an Overview
Many researches both in domestic and at international level has been done on the advanced textile applications like smart fibres and smart textiles in the recent years. This article disseminates the informations related to smart fibres and textiles, their application areas like medical care, protective clothing, shape memory textiles, sports textiles etc. No doubt that smart textiles have wide application and prospects in the near future similar to the smart phones.
Significance of Color Grade in Cotton fibre mixing
Among the various natural cellulosic fibres available, cotton fibre still rules the textile sector due to its inherent properties and ease of blending with other regenerated and synthetic fibres. While mixing, spinners pay more attention on fibre micronaire, length, strength etc, color of cotton assumes significant position during mixing to avoid shade variation complaints on fabrics. This article deals with the color assessment methods and selection of cotton for mixing.
Effect of Spindle Lift in Ring Frames on Productivity and Energy
In spinning mills, power consumption plays a major role in the yarn manufacturing cost. Ring frames consume power of around 42 -55% when compared to that of the other preparatory machineries. Furthermore, the yarn content in the cop is around 55 to 60 gms only depending upon the count spun. To produce this weight of yarn, more power is required to drive the spindles to run at the maximum speed and efficiency with acceptable waste levels. Nevertheless with those disadvantages, ring spinning system is universally applicable that most of the fibres can be spun to required fineness.
Yarn recovery: The He(art) of spinning
Yarn recovery is becoming a big challenge for spinning industry to cut down the cost due to the current spike in cotton prices. When the going gets tough sure the tough get going”. In general, raw material cost is around 55 to 65% in percentage of sales turnover. Even a marginal improvement in yarn recovery would lead to stunning results. In this article, TG Sarathy explains the methodology to maximise the yarn recovery through complete process reengineering.
