Abstract: In the textile industry, the selection of an appropriate pressure level
during the processing of fabrics is of paramount importance in order to achieve the
desired outcome. The pressure applied during the processing of fabrics has a significant
impact on the quality of the finish, the strength of the seams, the deformation of the
fabric, and even its colour. This study examines the impact of diverse fabric and yarn
types on the selection of optimal pressure.
The experiment examined a range of fabrics and yarns, including cotton, linen,
synthetic fabrics and different types of yarns that differ in composition, density and
weave. The researchers employed a methodology whereby the deformation of the
fabrics was measured under different pressures, thus enabling them to determine the
optimal modes for each type of material.
The findings of the study demonstrated that the characteristics of fabrics and
yarns, including density, structure, and elasticity, influence the selection of optimal
pressure. The data provide a foundation for formulating recommendations on pressure
selection for specific textile products, which can enhance the quality of processing,
minimise material losses, and optimise the production process.
The article offers practical insights for textile industry professionals seeking to enhance
the quality and efficiency of their work.
