Abstract
The study is to find out the relation of thread breakage rate on modern loom to the relative humidity and fabric specifications. This result supports thread breakage rate increased with the choice of rapier loom instead of air jet loom. It also shows that loom width has negative relation towards thread breakage and in the production floor relative humidity has insignificant relation with thread breakage rate. Key part of the study shows that warp and weft breakage rate has interrelation. In the production floor loom types and fabric constructions are studied for thread breakage at floor temperature and found no relation to the relative humidity. But, significant relation of warp and weft thread breakage rate to EPI, loom categories, loom width, fabric length produced, weft count and interrelation between warp and weft breakage rate.
Highlights
Thread breakage is the certain actions in the different sections of weaving
This study focuses on the thread breakage rate in modern loom specially three different models air jet, rapier and rapier for different fabric construction at the room temperature in the production floor
In this study the thread breakage rate are found to be related to the types of looms
Summary
Thread breakage is the certain actions in the different sections of weaving. It increases the stoppage time of the loom and reduce the efficiency of the weaving. This study focuses on the thread breakage rate in modern loom specially three different models air jet, rapier (optimax) and rapier (gamma) for different fabric construction at the room temperature in the production floor. Using correlation and regression analysis, the breakage rate for warp and weft are analyzed for 24 days in 15 looms of which five are air jet, five are rapier (optimax) and five are (gamma) loom. Significant relation of warp and weft thread breakage rate to EPI, loom categories, loom width, fabric length produced, weft count and interrelation between warp and weft breakage rate have been observed by the correlation and regression analysis
