The document discusses various garment finishing processes and equipment. It describes spotting processes that use hazardous chemicals and safer alternatives. It also covers folding, packing, hanging, pressing and finishing of different garments using specialized machines like shirt folders, steam irons, and finishers tailored for different garment types. Safety features of folding equipment like jam prevention systems are highlighted.

2. SPOTTING
o Paint, Oil and Grease (POG)
spotting agents are used to remove
spots from garments by
professional textile cleaners.
o They are sprayed on spots before
and after garments are processed
through the garment cleaning
machine.
o POG spotting agents containing
trichloroethylene (TCE) and per-
chloroethylene (PERC) are used
widely by the garment cleaning
industry .

3. SPOTTING PROCESSES HAZARDS
o TCE and PERC are carcinogens
and are heavily regulated in
California. Spotters and other
employees in garment cleaning
plants are exposed to these
dangerous chemicals
o Use of these spotting agents will
make the waste streams
generated by the non-PERC
garment cleaning processes
hazardous .

4. FOLDING
o Creases result from applying pressure to folds.
o If we wrap a piece of paper around a
cylinder, it will be easy to straighten again. If
we make a fold in the paper, it will be more
difficult. If we apply pressure along the fold,
the crease will be even more pronounced.
Clothing is no different.

5. FOLDING
IMPROPER FOLDING
o 1) folds that will "set", producing creases, and
o 2) garments moving (rubbing) against one
another, producing wrinkles (tiny folds) in the
fabric, that will also "set".
o The oft-suggested trick of wrapping individual clothing
items in plastic dry-cleaning bags or tissue paper helps
to reduce wrinkling (problem 2, above), but does
nothing about the creases.
o Another popular suggestion, that of rolling
clothing, reduces — though does not eliminate — the
number of folds (problem 1), but usually increases
wrinkling.

6. SHIRT FOLDING MACHINE
o This machine is specially designed
for the packing of shirts. The main
benefit of this table is correct and
smooth shaping of shirt collars and
easy packing. It has the capacity of
giving an output of 300 to 400 shirts
per shift of 8 hrs.
FEATURES :
- Competitive price
- Adjustable head for choosing
collar size.
- Button guard for perfect center line
and elegant shirt fold
- Pressed shirt collar to be round and
smooth
- Stainless steel folding plate.

7. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
o Sensors will detect clear materials
All motors are controlled by
frequency inverters to ensure:
- Precise folds
- Smooth start of all drive systems
- Reduced maintenance by
eliminating the need for brake motors

8. JAM-PREVENTION SYSTEM
o The folder will automatically reject any
missed piece that is likely to result in a jam
in order to provide uninterrupted operation.
o If a jam does occur, the PLC will only shut off
the actual section where the jam occurred.
o The items that were already in the machine
in front of the jam will be folded and clear
the machine in order to minimize any down
time.

10. PACKING & PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS
o Ensure the carton is strong and secure enough to
protect the contents in the normal transport and
distribution processes according to the standards
o Ensure the contents of the carton are packed as per
instructions
o Ensure the labeling/marking are as per requirements
o Eliminate the outer shipper carton where inners are the
distribution unit
o Ensure the carton does not display any misleading
information or unrelated printed matter,
- for example, brands or product names unrelated to
the cartons content.

11. It is important to:
o Use the correct size carton for the goods you
need to pack to minimize free space in
carton
o Ensure that packages form a stable unit load
o Ensure that cartons are adequately sealed
to support the content
o Do not use brown paper wrapping
o DO NOT use any form of strapping
o DO NOT use carton stapling

12. HANGERS
o The hangers must be secured with a cable tie.
All film specifications remain the same as for
pre-made bags.
o The supplier must ensure that the heat setting
is adequate to seal the bags sufficiently
without overheating and weakening the bag
strength.
o Garments to hang loose in bags. Bottom
edge of garment is to remain above bottom
edge of bag. Hanger opening is to face left.

13. NOTE: Garments must have no more that 6cm to 12cm excess at the bottom
heat-sealed or taped closed.

14. FLAT BED FUSING PRESSES
o The flat bed fusing press has
been designed with versatility
and ease of use very much in
mind.
o Its large 120cm x 50cm
heated top p late makes it
suitable for use in the
manufacture of many
different types of garments
& textiles.
o With a temperature range of
up to 200C, it can be used
with a wide selection of
today's modern fusible
interlinings (& heat transfers
etc.)

15. OPEN SIDED ROLLER FUSING PRESSES
o Up to 45cm fusing width
o End less fusing length
o Conveyer belt fusing
system
o Silicone rubber pressure
roller
o Open sided to allow
wider items
o 20 to 200C temperature
o Compact & affordable
o 1.5Kg/cm pressure.
o Independent belt
tracking system.

16. STEAM IRON
o It is comfortable and easy to
use, with its design meeting the
requirements of prolonged industrial
use.
o As well as its 1kW heating
element & useful 225mm long
base plate, operators can choose
from two different iron handle styles.
o The standard M28/11 steam iron
features a traditional cork style
handle and the optional M28/1
model features an ergonomic
handle. Both have a well
positioned micro switch for easy
operation.

17. FINISHERS FOR DIFFERENT GARMENTS
UNIVERSAL FINISHER
o This universal finisher is the preferred equipment for
small to middle
o sized laundries and textile care plants.
o It is available in a steam heated version.
o Spin-dry shirts, blouses, smocks or dustcoats are finished
quickly without
o creases by the high performance silent hot-air fan.
o Dry garments, such as jackets, coats, etc., can also be
finished on this
o machine.
o The individual functions are called step by step on the
kicker plate.

19. SHIRT FINISHER
o Shirt Finisher provides an excellent
and complete finish for washed,
pre-treated or wet processed shirts.
o The shirts are placed on
hangers, buttoned or unbuttoned
prior to the finishing operation.
o Seam tensioning elements,
custom shaped shoulder forms,
electrically heated pressing plates
for the shirt pocket, the
integrated suction plate and
stretch-control are standard
features.

20. FORM FINISHER FOR DRESSES & SHIRTS
o The height and shoulder width
(270-450 mm/ 10.6-17.7 in.) of the
dress form is adjustable and the
sleeves can be closed with a zip.
o The individual dress forms turn
through 360 degrees and can be
exchanged within seconds.
o Base Unit with extremely strong hot
and cold air fan.
o Infinitely adjustable volume of air
for easy treatment o f light and
heavy knitwear.
o A special form for skirts is mounted
over an adapter on the VEIT 8308
base unit.
