Sizing

Definition of Drying After leaving the size box, the wrap sheet gets impregnated with wet size paste to the extent of about 90% – 140% of its own weight. The process of drying involves complete removal of the moisture from the size paste and at the same time retaining the water in the yarn. This[…]

This method is universally adopted and is suitable for large-scale operations. In this method, many warp yarns as per requirement are assembled in the form of a continuous sheet, sized and then wound onto a weaver’s beam. These operations are supported by auxiliary operations such as separation of ends, measuring warp length, marking into cut[…]

Definition of Textile Sizing  Sizing is the intermediate process of weaving preparation. The yarn after being warped is sized or coated with a thin film of adhesive. The purpose of sizing the yarn is to improve its weave-ability. A single unsized yarn is incapable of withstanding the strains of weaving and also affects the loom production and efficiency. Hence[…]

Definition of Sizing Ingredients The sizing’s fundamental objectives can be achieved only by impregnating the yarn with the appropriate size mixture consisting of various ingredients in suitable proportion. Each ingredient should impart a particular property to the yarn. Accordingly, there are two types of ingredients, namely the primary and secondary ingredients. The primary ingredients are essentially[…]

Sizing Sizing is a complementary operation carried out on warps formed by spun yarns with insufficient tenacity or by continuous filament yarns with zero twists. In general, when sizing is necessary, the yarn beam is warped; therefore, all beams corresponding to the beams are fed, as soon as warping is completed, to the sizing machine where they[…]
