Enzyme washes process: (Twill/canvas/poplin)
The Enzyme washing process of batch of 60 kgs Twill/canvas/poplin/cord ray trouser is described below:
First step:– DESIZING
ü Lot weight (approximately 125pes) ———— 60 kg.
ü Add water @L: R=1:10———–600 liters.
ü Machine running.
ü Add desizing agent @0.6 gm/liter—————– 360gm.
ü Add Detergent @0.5 gm/liter ———————- 300gm.
ü Temperature —————— 50⁰c.
ü Time ————————-10-20 mts
ü Drop the liquor.
ü Rinse one time, 3 minutes.
Second step:– ENZYME
ü Add water @L: R=1:8———–450 liters.
ü Temperature ————— 45⁰c
ü Add acetic acid @ 0.5gm/liter ————240gm
ü Add anti back staining @ 0.5gm/liter ————240gm
ü Add acid enzyme @ 1.2gm/liter —————576gm
ü Time (depend upon the shade) ————– 30-60 mts
ü Increase temperature to 90⁰c and run 1 minute (enzyme killing)
ü Drain the bath
ü Rinse twice, each 3 minutes.
Third step:– SOFTENING
ü Add water @ L: R= 1:8 —————– 450 liter.
ü Add acetic acid @ 0.6gm/liter ————288gm.
ü Cationic Softener @ 1gm/liter ————480gm.
ü Silicon (ME) @ 0.5gm/liter —————- 240
ü Temperature —————————- 40⁰c.
ü Time —————————— 15 t0 20 mts.
ü Drain the bath.
ü Then unload the garments on trolley.
Fourth step:– HYDROEXTRACTOR MACHINE After unloading the garments from the washing machine then they are sent to hydro extractor machine to remove excess water from the washed garments.
Fifth step:– DRYING MACHINE
ü Load 60 kg garments to gas/steam dryer.
ü Temperature set ——— 75⁰c to 85⁰c.
ü Run about 35to 45 mts.
ü After then run 10 to 15 mts for cold dryer.
Sixth step:– After dryer, garments go to quality section for quality checking and good one is delivered to garments unit. After enzyme wash we get following points
Color become light
Decrease GSM
Softness increase
Strength become weak
