TROUBLE SHOOTING CONTINUOUS PREPARATION
PROBLEMS: ISSUES
 

Residual Size :
Find out the size mixture
Increase the dose of Finozyme DX
Control the application temp. of desize steps
Ensure washers are working well and are hot
Increase the dwell / batch time
Add Finozyme DX to the tank after it is hot
Avoid steaming the enzyme for too long
   
Pin holes :
Increase the dose of demineraliser in the size
Lower the demineralisation bath pH to 5.0 with acetic acid
Increase the dwell / batch time
Incorporate a separate demineralisation step
   

After desize, repeat acidic scour process with demineraliser

Use Diquest S in the bleach (1-2 gpl)
Use oxalic acid in the demineralisation step
 
Cotton seed or Bits residue :

Check chemical application (Pick – up, dose)
Perhaps more bleach required
Increase dwell / batch time and temperature
Check for metal contamination
Add Diquest S to the bleach liquor
Ensure Peroxide bath is stabilized with Finostab SS
   

Poor Absorbency :

   
Check chemical application (Pick – up, dose, etc.)
Perhaps a stronger bleach is required
Increase caustic soda
Increase the dose of or Finocon LF in the bleach
Increase the dose of Finocon WK in Desize
Increase the dwell time
Increase Nip roller pressure for better washing
Adjust range temperatures for more cleaning energy
Adjust the water flow rates for maximum exchange
   

Yellow fabric or Damaged & Weak fabric :

This is probably due to over – oxidation of the fabric
Check Chemical application (PU, dose, etc.)

Perhaps less bleach required

Check that the dwell – box or steamer are closed (no oxygen ingress)
Reduce dwell time and temperature
Check for metal contamination
Add Diquest S to the bleach liquour
Increase the dose of Finostab SS in the liquor
Check the fabric before bleach for flaws
Carry out a prescour and then reduce the strength of bleach liquor
Do a cold pad – batch bleach in place of steaming
Avoid hot oxidative desizing
   

Tailing : Changing Whiteness or absorbency overtime :

Adjust recipe of feed tanks to initial fill
(Refer to dose – calculations)
Ensue feed tank solutions are stable and made fresh
Use stabiliser Finostab SS with the bleach liquour solution
   

Side to side variations :

This is probably due to either rollers or uneven drying
If after continuous Dyeing Process, it may be due to moisture migration in Dyeing Process
Check all application and expression rollers for even pick – up. (This means
Desize, scour and Bleach systems)
Check for uneveness of steam application (blocked steam line?)
Check for dripping from steamer, that may wash – off bleach liquour
Check for even drying during batching
Check for steam saturation in the steamer
   

Lines and patches : After Dyeing Process :

Check for complete desize before Dyeing Process
Lines may be warp size resist
Check for post – bleach contamination from machines or factory (oil spots)
Ensure temperature and chemical dose are correct for Desize
Ensure desize washing is with fresh water rather than bleach – backflow

Astrazon Red Test :

  0.5% Astrazon Red F3BL
  0.5% Acetic Acid (30%)

Immerse the fabric cutting for 5 min at R.T. with freshly prepared dye
solution. Remove it and lay it on a glass plate for 30 sec. Rinse the
cutting with water for 1 min. A red colouration is formed if PES or
Acrylate size is present.
