Guides
One article per process route — why the process exists and how each stage works — and one per machine: what it changes in the fabric, and why it is needed.
Process routes
One article per process route: why the process exists, how each stage works and what goes in, how parameters are set — read alongside the route map in Solutions.
Tops Mill
Shrink-resist and lustre treatment of wool tops
Ecru tops take this line before dyeing: chlorination descaling → resin coverage → multi-stage chemical finishing → through-flow drying, in one pass — the result is machine-washable Superwash top.
Top-dyed recombing
From ecru top to dyed top on one map: loading → dyeing → hydro-extraction → backwashing line → recombing, plus the short route and the printing branch.
Worsted Mill
Worsted finishing, piece-dyed route
Woven greige is dyed in the piece: inspection and mending → wet finishing → Kroy pre-treatment (optional) → piece dyeing → dry finishing.
Worsted finishing, top-dyed route
Tops are dyed before spinning and weaving, so the finishing chain carries no dyeing step: top-dyed recombing → weaving (with yarn steaming) → wet and dry finishing.
Woollen Mill
Woollen finishing, piece-dyed route
Woven greige is dyed in the piece: burling and mending → wet finishing (piece dyeing inside) → dry finishing.
Woollen finishing, stock-dyed route
Loose stock is dyed before spinning and weaving: stock dyeing → weaving (with yarn steaming) → wet and dry finishing, with no dyeing step in the finishing chain.
Wool & Blend Knits
Wool and blend knitted fabric route
Tubular greige → scouring and milling → (piece dyeing of white greige) → slitting → crabbing → dry finishing. Belt-type steaming-shrinking; no weft straightening.
Machine by machine
One article per machine: what it changes in the fabric — handle, dimensional stability, lustre, cleanliness — and why it is needed.
Tops processing
Fibre Filter Unit (WPF-JC)
Wool tops fibre filtration: collects the fibre dust and fly from tops handling, keeping the machines and the shop clean
OutlineWool Tops Shrinkproofing Line (WPF-MTFSSG)
Continuous chlorine descaling and resin coating turn wool tops machine-washable, with a cashmere- and silk-like lustre and handle
Read the principleWool Tops Backwashing Line (WPF-MTFX)
Washes loose dye and auxiliaries out of dyed tops and dries them to an even moisture level, setting the yarn-quality baseline for spinning.
Read the principleWool Tops Vigoureux Printing Machine (WPF-MTYH)
Local colour on tops creates a colour-and-white mixture for recombing; printing is followed by steam fixation, second backwashing and drying.
Read the principleYarn steaming
Vacuum Yarn Steaming Autoclave (WPF-ZS)
Vacuum-steam twist-setting that leaves yarn free of water marks, covering both yarn steaming and post-print tops fixation in one autoclave
Read the principleWet finishing
Single-Channel Wool Scouring and Milling Machine (WPF-1XS)
Scouring and Milling in One Machine
OutlineFour-Channel Wool Scouring and Milling Machine (WPF-4XS)
Scouring and milling in one machine, with four independently set channels so different colours and weights run together without queuing for a shared recipe.
Read the principleTeasel Raising Machine (WPF-CG)
Wet teasel raising follows wet brushing, using adjustable contact, cylinder speed and traverse to develop the pile and selected ripple effects.
Read the principleDiscontinuous Open Width Washing Machine (WPF-JXPX)
Keeps the fabric open-width instead of roped, so it comes out free of rope-scouring creases, evenly treated, and clean of spinning oil, size and soap liquor.
Read the principleContinuous Crabbing and Drying Line (WPF-LXZH)
Crabbing sets dimensional stability; tiered cylinder drying removes the glazed face and harsh handle that contact drying can leave on wool fabric.
Read the principleWet Brushing and Setting Machine (WPF-SSMDX)
Wet brushing aligns both fabric faces after crabbing, before teasel raising, squeezing and drying, with each brushing roller set independently.
Read the principleRope Scouring Machine (WPF-XN)
Rope scouring removes oil and residue through repeated spraying and squeezing, for clean-face fabrics or washing after milling.
Read the principleCrabbing Machine (WPF-ZN)
The WPF-ZN sets an entire piece of wool fabric in one hot-liquor bath — one heat history end to end, a flat face, lasting lustre, a soft resilient hand.
Read the principleDry finishing
Discontinuous Decatizing Machine (WPF-JXZN-MAX)
Wrapped-batch steam penetration and cooling provide decatizing after pre-shrinking, with the treatment selected for the fabric.
Read the principlePin-Chain Steaming-Shrinking Machine (WPF-LTYS)
Steam releases residual shrinkage while pin chains control width, with straightening before pre-shrinking and decatizing afterwards.
Read the principleContinuous Pressure Decatizing Machine (WPF-LXZN-P)
Pressurised steam sets the fabric in a single pass, giving dimensional stability and lasting lustre close to kier-decatizing depth.
Read the principleContinuous Decatizing Machine (WPF-LXZN)
Continuously sets fabric handle and lustre after pressing — covers fringed scarves and shawls that batch machines struggle to load
Read the principleVertical Brushing Machine (WPF-SM)
Dry-finishing brushing removes loose fibre and aligns the pile before pre-shrinking and decatizing; a steam box is optional.
Read the principleFabric Polishing Machine (WPF-TG)
Combs long woollen pile straight and heat-presses it into directional lustre — the effect needs decatizing afterwards to become permanent.
Read the principleBelt-Type Steaming-Shrinking Machine (WPF-WDYS)
Belt support, overfeed and vibration release shrinkage in both directions; woven routes straighten next, while the knit route proceeds to decatizing.
Read the principleWeft Straightener (WPF-ZW)
Pin wheels grip the edges and tension fabric transversely to straighten the weft, before pin-chain or after belt pre-shrinking.
