Drying Process for Natural soft hand

natural dry


A- Heat up Cycle
Load damp garments into dryer after centrifugal extraction
This will take about 5-10 minutes to raise to maximum drying temp of around 80 ·90 C

B- Main Drying Cycle
To dry garment at the max temp until it is approximate 70 % dry
Duration could varies according to the fabric and garment construction

C- Cool down Cycle
To avoid over dry the garments, the garments should be dry and soft but not brittle
This could be achieved by adjusting the steam valve or the exhaust duct opening.
Duration could varies according to the fabric and garment construction

D- Cool Tumble Cycle
To give garment extra bit of softness and regain moisture at ambient environment.
This could be achieved by turn off the steam and open the exhaust duct completely
This need to be at least 20 minutes

*** Since this drying process would prolong the drying under moist condition at an ideal temp range off 50-65 C for enzyme to be reactivated which may damage the fiber strength, it is critical to thoroughly neutralize the enzymes during the clean up cycle if enzymes is being used in the wet processing cycle.
