Study on selvedge wastage in Rapier Loom

Abstract

This paper present the analysis of waste% of selvedge in rapier loom used

in Bangladesh. Woven fabric is produced by interlacement of warp and

weft yarns.

Construction of fabric is very important for woven fabric because amount

of weft yarn and warp yarn depends on EPI and PPI of the fabric. The

density of fabric depends on EPI and PPI. Count of yarn also important for

woven fabric.

Selvedge is the waste of total fabric production but it is very important to

maintain the width of the fabric. It is also very to maintain construction of

the fabric during weaving.

For this study we collected the samples from weaving industry.
