STENTOR
stentor is a machine or apparatus for stretching or stentering fabrics. The purpose of the stentor machine is to bringing the length and width to pre determine dimensions and also for heat setting and it is used for applying finishing chemicals and also shade variation is adjusted. The main function of the stentor is to stretch the fabric widthwise and to recover the uniform width.
Heat setting is done by the stentor for lycra fabric, synthetic and blended fabric.

OPEN WIDTH COMPACTING
- Open compactor is used for compacting the open form fabric. Here, slitting machine is used for open the fabric from the tubular form. .
- Open Width Compactor is suitable for open width knit fabrics to achieve exact dimensional stability and a soft feel. The machine generally consists of a feeding frame with centering device and driven scroll rollers, an equalizing stentor frame with overfeed roller and brush pinning arrangement.
- The compaction station consists of a feed roll and slower turning retarding roll. A single shoe fitted into the nip forms the compaction zone. The shoe’s function is to present the fabric into the compaction zone. The feed roll overfeeds fabric into the compaction zone while the slower retard roll holds the fabric in the zone. If more shrinkage is required, then the retard roll speed is decreased. This will increase the compaction and reduce the length of shrinkage. Maximum compaction rates up to 25% are possible.

Tubular-Compacting
- The compacting machine is a knitted fabric shrinkage control machine, which can compact the fabric in length wise direction, to provide over feed to the fabric while processing in presence of steam and able to control the shrinkage

WASHING
Garment washing is the best touch of a garment. Same type of garments can produce several effects for several wash . Like this:
Normal wash/ garment wash/rinse wash,Pigment wash,Caustic wash,Enzyme wash,Stone wash,Stone enzyme wash,Super white wash,Bleach wash,Acid wash,Silicon wash
- To create wash look appearance, seems the new touch of fashion
- To attraction the customers/buyer by different types of fashionable washing and market development.
- Due to washing, shrinkage occurs in the garments. There is no possibility of further shrinkage of the wash garments.
- Any dirt, spot or germ if added in the garments during manufacturing is also removed due to washing.
RELAX DRYER
Drying is defined as a process where the liquid portion of the solution is evaporated from the fabric. it is a repetitive drying process to cure the cross-linking agent. The operator fixes the expreader as per the required width of the fabric, then sets the temperature, machine speed and over feed (depends on construction of fabric and shades) and then he feeds the fabric to machine for production.

RAISING
- Raising can be done on one or both sides of the fabric. The technique can improve durability, hide defects or obscure the weave of the cloth.
- Raising is particularly suitable for wool and cotton fabrics; it gives a fuzzy surface by abrading the cloth and pulling the fiber ends to the surface. During the last few years, this process has also been applied to polyester/viscose blends and acrylic fabrics. Raising is done after shearing and cropping, dyeing and drying. .

TUBLER HEAT SETTING
- Heat-setting is a heat treatment by which shape retention, crease resistance, resilience and elasticity are imparted to the fibres. It also brings changes in strength, stretchability, softness, dyeability and sometimes on the colour of the material. All these changes are connected with the structural and chemical modifications occurring in the fibre.
- Heat setting is carried out on gray fabrics (scarcely applied), on scoured fabrics (frequently applied) and on dyed fabrics (scarcely applied). The process grants excellent dimensional stability and good crease-proof properties. As far as operating conditions are concerned, the fabric must be treated in accurately controlled moisture and temperature conditions .
