Abstract
Effect of Loom Speed on Warp Contraction Percentage of Cotton Fabric
Highlights
The production planning of the weaving industry like other industries plays an important role in making profits
The findings of this study will help in production planning reduce the variation in planned length of the fabric and actual fabric produced in the loom shed
The experimental results shows that the loom speeds have significant impact on the warp contraction percentage
Summary
The production planning of the weaving industry like other industries plays an important role in making profits. Many times looms are set to run at lower speed due to weavers beam shortages or to prolonged the time of beam doff due to shortage of man power for beam doffing This variation of the loom speed results in variation of production per loom and cause difference in the warp contraction percentage. This difference in warp contraction of looms leads to variation in the length of fabric produced from the same length of the warp, which will be a cause for production a fabric more or less than the expected length of the fabric This is the sever problem which weaving industry faces consistently, it is important to find the proper solution for this problem [3]. The contraction percentage is expressed as a percentage of beam length to the difference between the lengths of war pan length of the fabric produced as show in following formula
