Warpingimg

WarpingThe selected raw yarn is sent to the Warping process, which is the adjustment process to supply the specified number of yarns at even tension.
As the number of raw yarns differ depending on the type at the time of acceptance, it is correctly adjusted in this process and 600 yarns are wound on one beam. We use machines from a German maker, Karl Mayer for warp knitting requiring high certainty and speed.
For strict quality control, high-performance monitoring computers are used for all warping machines.
