Today, garment manufacturing operations emphasize the adoption of Washing Technologies, which are streamlining in-house washing processes. Washing techniques are used to modify the appearance, form factor, comfort factor and fashion statement of apparels. Garment washing techniques are applied on denim as well as on other fabrics.
Washing operations are part of a complete garment finishing cycle.
Apparels are often uncomfortable to wear, without going through a washing process due to the dyeing and printing effects. They essentially need a finishing treatment to make them softer, smoother and together both these qualities enhance wearability and comfort.
Thus, washing is one of the most widely used finishing treatments lending apparels a distinctive look which impacts overall appearance and comfort.
The wet washing process of garments creates a better look or effect by rinse wash, pigment wash, caustic wash, silicon wash, enzyme wash, stone wash, stone enzyme wash, bleach wash and acid wash.
Top Objectives of the washing process:
A Damaged or distressed look in denim is unique and is used to create distinctive fashion. In order to achieve that favorite vintage look, several damaging processes are necessary, which are part of washing techniques.
In the dry washing process, the most important finishing treatment for garments, is done to impart scraping, spraying, whiskering, damages, spots, rubbing and tacking on garments / denim products.
Wet and Dry washing processes are most widely used to apply chemical and mechanical properties on garments by replacing the conventional washing process.
Understanding the different types of garment washing techniques is essential for apparel manufacturers and retailers alike. Each technique offers unique effects and aesthetics, allowing designers to unleash their creativity and meet market demand/ customer expectations.
Fashion brands are laying immense emphasis on their organizations as well as on stakeholders who are part of their value chains to achieve sustainability KPIs.
Supporting the cause with equal vigor are the technology suppliers, who are part of the fashion industry’s value chain.
In denim, where product innovation is based on washes, the role of these technology providers is even bigger, more so as the end-customer is looking for both fashion and sustainability in one complete package for the right price.
Magnum Resources has partnered with Italy's Tonello and together makes available cutting-edge finishing technologies in India.
Tonello’s unique UP technology system involves the supply of a continuous flow of water which is injected into the washing machine. UP technology ensures that water is recovered and immediately put back into circulation. This drastically reduces the amount of water needed during washing (making the washing process more sustainable), and the liquor ratio is reduced to an unprecedented level as well.
In addition to saving water, Tonello's washing technologies result in a substantial reduction in energy consumption as well as filling and draining times. This translates into lower costs for clothing manufacturers.
If you are a garment manufacturer in India you can unlock the benefits of Tonello’s UP technology by connecting with Magnum Resources.
Here are the top benefits and knock-on effects of adopting Tonello ’s UP technology enabled washing systems:
