DETERMINING THE MOST FREQUENT DEFECTS FOR CIRCULAR WEFT KNITTING FABRIC MACHINES: A CASE STUDY (Pages : 10 - 17)

For a garment item, quality of the fabric is a vital requirement. If the fabric contains objectionable number of defects, there is a high possibility of fabric rejection. Buyers may also refuse to accept garments due to poor fabric quality. So maintaining proper quality of knitted fabric is an urgent need for knitwear manufacturers. Greige fabric containing defects of unacceptable range is an indication of poor knitting operation and management. In this work grey weft-knitted fabric defects and their frequencies of occurrence were observed for cotton single jersey fabrics produced in some renowned knitting factories of Bangladesh at different time intervals. It was found that among various defects contamination, Slub and Hole are the most occurring type having the maximum presence in the knitted fabric. The work thus throws light on the key concerns for improvement in the fabric quality of a knitting floor.Download
