    The document discusses a dewatering machine used in knit fabric finishing to remove water from fabrics after dyeing. It has objectives like opening tubular fabrics, controlling width and moisture content. It works by using expanders and rubber padders to squeeze water out and can apply softeners. Operational parameters include speed, overfeed amount, and padder pressure.

    Dewatering Machine:

    In knit fabric finishing process; de-watering machine is used in case of tube or open form fabric after
    dyeing. In case of piece goods fabric, hydro-extractor machine is used for water removing. During de-
    watering process additional chemical is used for soften the fabric. Different types of operational
    parameter are controlled during de-watering process.

    Objectives of Dewatering Machine:

    Various types of objectives are achieved by the de-watering process. Followings are the main objectives
    of the de-watering machine.
    1. Fabric is open from the rope form.

    2. Width-wise stretch of the fabric is done.

    3. Fabric is turn into plait form by this process.

    4. GSM of the fabric is controlled during de-watering.

    5. To control the crease mark of the fabric.

    6. Excess or remaining water is removed or reduce by the de-watering machine.

    7. In most of the cases, softener is applying during de-watering process.

    8. Apply overfeed to give some compactor.

    Working Principle of Dewatering Machine:


    After completing the dyeing process from the dyeing m/c then the fabrics are ready for de-watering. In
    de-watering m/c tubular fabrics are mainly processed. There is a magnetic sensor which follow the twist
    of the fabric and its direction and turn the fabric in opposite direction to remove twist automatically. De-
    watering is the process to remove the water from the fabric completely by squeezing and it is done by
    the padder. A suitable expander is used before the fabric is passed through the nip of the padders,
    which expands the fabric flat wise and adjust the width.
    Fig: Passage Diagram of The fabric in Dewatering Machine

    The expander width is adjusted as S/J- 20%, PK-25%, Int.-35%, Lacoste-40% wider than the required
    width. There is a pair of rubber coated padder, where water is removed from fabric when passed
    through the nip of it.

    Normally squeezer contain single or double padders where,

     One for removing water and

     Other for applying finishing chemicals such as softener.

    But this finishing is done only for the tubular fabric. Open widths knitted fabrics are applied finishing
    treatment later in stenter machine.

    Here the compressor which gives compress air to form ballooning before passing through the padder.
    This balloon remove crease mark.

    Operational Parameter of Dewatering Machine:


    Speed: As much as possible (40-60 m/min). Higher the GSM lower the speed.

    Over feed: As required. Higher the GSM higher the over feed.

    Padder pressure: 3-7 bar as required.

    Width: Fabric width is adjusted as per required width.
