Pressing
Garment Pressing Operation is to remove wrinkles from
a garment and to give it shape
Pressing is done after assembly to improve the
appearance of a garment
In other cases, especially with knits, garments are
simply folded instead of pressed. Although pressing
remains largely a manual task, new automated
processes exist that apply force and steam to garments
placed over a body form.
Purpose of Pressing
To smooth away unwanted creases and crush
marks
To make creases where the design of the garment
requires them
To mould the garment to the contour of the body
To prepare garment for further sewing
To refinish the fabric after manufacturing the
garment
Categories of Pressing
Garments which require no pressing
Garments requiring minimal pressing or finishing
Garments using the use of an iron in
underpressing and final pressing
Garments requiring extensive underpressing and
final pressing
Garments requiring plating or ‘permanent press’
finishing
Pressing Equipment and Methods
Iron
Steam Presses
Steam Air Finisher
Steam Tunnel
Technological Advancement in Pressing
It focuses on several area:-
Greater versatility
More precision in determining exact
pressing requirements of fabrics and
finishes
Improved quality
Energy savings
Flat Work Ironer
Machine to dry and iron all flat materials
e.g. -Bed Sheets, Pillow covers, Table Cloth & Napkins directly
after Hydro extraction to produce a quality finish
Excellent design of roller angle ensures greater area of
contact to give higher output and increased productivity
This machine is fed from the front, with a front return type
Micro processor control and inverter drives are present to
regulate speed up to 10 mtrs/ min.
Flat Work Ironer
Flat Work Ironer
Feeding and heating belts are imported to ensure the best quality and long life.
Very low power and steam consumption compact design of front head and return
requires working space only on the front side.
This machine is equipped with digital temperature indicator and digital speed
indicator.
Hand safety guard and emergency stop are provided to ensure safe working
conditions.
Variable speed drive for different types of fabrics and reversing the direction are
also possible.
Specially designed blower to remove excess moisture.
Available in 2 standard sizes.
Machines of higher evaporation ratio with 600 mm also available.
Triostar-Collar & Cuff Press Presses collars and cuffs for shirts
and blouses.
The radius can be changed for big
and small cuffs and blouses/shirts
with short sleeve slits
Built in suction for better
positioning before pressing and
cooling after pressing
Triostar-Collar & Cuff Press Flexible heater mat that adapts to the shape of the
cuffs and the collar
Optimal temperature setting and digital temperature
display
Adjustable pressure setting for delicate fabrics
Integrated workstation design for easily picking up
and putting down the forms
The sleeves of a short-sleeved shirt can be pressed on
the collar press
Twinstar HP-V2 Shirt Body Press Twin-form cabinet for high productivity.
Shaped pressing plates with electrical oil
bath, heating and precision temperature
control for a high quality finish.
Integrated vacuum for correct shirt
positioning without clamping marks.
Open pressing for clean front edges, to
avoid button marks, and for perfectly
pressed side seam areas.
Twinstar HP-V2 Shirt Body Press Optimal temperature setting and digital temperature
display
Air bags for perfect pressing of side areas, independent
from sizes and styles
Direct pneumatic pressure system allows the adjustment
of high specific pressure, often required for high quality
finishing of cotton shirts
Improved Side Area shaping - The elastic side forming
elements adapt automatically to the side contour of the
shirts without the necessity of individual adjustments
Finishing Techniques
Pressing and finishing quality can 'make or
break' a garment
The move offshore means that garments
are more likely to become creased during
transportation, while new fabrics and
surface treatments present new
challenges for manufacturers
Ramsons Needle Detector
When the sensor detects a broken needle pin or needle chip, a
buzzer will automatically sound and the conveyor belt will stop
The machine is available in two modes of operation viz.
Production & Test Card
10 indicator lamps identify the exact location of a foreign object
The control panel is equipped with a safety lock
A protective cover for the control panel is available so as not to
hit the sensitivity level or change the mode of operation by
accident
Ramsons Needle Detector
Thread Sucking Machines
Thread sucking machine absorbs all the
loosely attached threads stuck on the
garment after stitching
Pneumatic operation ensures that the process
of thread sucking is efficient
A vario-oscillation with suction ensures almost
simultaneous removal of threads and other
waste particles
This even helps in removing the odour of
chemically washed garments
The economy of the machine is realized when
precious man hours and resources as well as
valuable floor space are saved
Thread Sucking Machines
The average daily capacity in an 8-hour shift is 2000 pieces whereas if this operation is done manually, it would require 4 people and 24 hours to do the same
All the loose threads and waste evicted from the garment is accumulated inside the machine and can be removed by simply opening the front door
The size of the standard model is 44" taper. 65" height and 56" width and can be used for a variety of garments ranging from shirts to skirts of different sizes
Strong suction devices and a unique design ensure the removal of threads from all parts of garments
Automatic working via photo-sensors and manual operation by a foot switch
This machine comes equipped with a large polycarbonate viewing glass
There is an adjustable suction control damper for different types of fabrics
