KARL MAYERs warp preparation machinery forcost-effective sizing in DENIM production
When Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis sold the first pairs oftrousers with rivets on the pockets as tough, hard-wearing work clothing togold miners in 1872, they could scarcely have imagined what treasure they hadunearthed. The jeans, which were patented in May 1873, soon made their way frombeing work wear to being the teenagers favourite, and then onto the fashionscene. They have been setting the tone in the fashion world ever since to agreater or lesser extent. As the popularity of denim increased, steps weretaken to improve the production technology at every stage from the weavingpreparatory stage to final finishing.
Coordinated processing during weaving preparation
Direct beaming and sizing technology has a decisiveinfluence on the economic aspects and efficiency of the weaving preparatorystage. User friendliness can be improved and output can be maximised if thesame manufacturer is responsible for coordinating the machinery for the directbeaming, dyeing and sizing processes. The processes involved in weavingpreparation must be coordinated with the weaving operations in order tooptimise efficiency throughout the entire production chain. To ensure that allthe processes are coordinated with each other, each processing stage must meetthe requirements of the next processing stage.
