DESCRIPTION
INNOVATION IN RECYCLING FOR RANFORCE FABRIC PRODUCTION
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to an innovation in recycling for ranforce fabric production, wherein it is developed to be used in recycling processes to be employed in the textile sector, particularly ranforce fabric production.
BACKGROUND ART
Ranforce fabrics are woven yam consisting of 57 wire/cm2. Having high air permeability thanks to the texture created by the yarn on the fabric surface, they are healthy products made of 100% cotton, a completely natural raw material. They do not contain synthetics. Since the fabric contains cotton, it breathes and is healthy and long-lasting. However, as with all fabrics containing cotton, it tends to wrinkle.
Ranforce fabrics are allowed +5 I -5 cm shrinkage since the fabric contains cotton and becomes tighter after being washed. Colors retain their brightness for a long time if washed in accordance with the washing instructions. Ranforce is long- lasting because it is manufactured by the plain weave of cotton.
A rule that applies to cotton products, particularly bedlinens, and most woven products is that light colors will last longer because the texture not subjected to dyeing will be softer while the texture of the dyed fabric will be coarser.
Ranforce is a type of fabric that is utilized commonly since it provides comfort and is healthy thanks to its cotton structure. It stands out as an important type of fabric frequently used especially for home textiles. It surely is also opted for a wide range of different products depending on the purpose.
With its texture resulting from the use of only cotton, its healthy structure, and its long-lasting characteristic, ranforce is a significant fabric type in the textile sector.
It has the potential to be used safely for many years thanks to its cotton structure and quality. That is why it is one of the fabrics that are heavily utilized for different goods in home textiles. Also, the wide range of products provides the potential for it to be used in the manufacture of various items.
What are the properties of ranforce fabric?
With the features it provides, ranforce fabric is quite important for most everyday items.
- It is long-lasting.
- It protects human health.
- It is durable.
- It tends to wrinkle since it is cotton fabric.
- It has a soft texture.
- It is manufactured from 100% cotton and is natural.
- The fabric texture breathes.
- It has a closely-woven texture and is a quality fabric.
- It requires ironing since it is a type of fabric made of cotton.
In application no. TR2020/02388 titled “Chemical recycling method for polyester- based textile and/or packaging wastes” in the prior art, the invention is summarized as follows: “The invention relates to a chemical recycling method which provides the acquisition of colorless bis-hydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET) from textile and/or polyester-based packaging waste that contains a maximum of 50,000 ppm dyestuff or filling material and is manufactured using at least 50% polyester, and enables the reproduction of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using the said BHET, wherein it is aimed to be used in the production of textile material and/or packaging material similar to recycled colorless PET-based yam, fabric, nonwoven fabric.”
In another application no. TR2019/22859 titled “100% Recyclable Cotton Yam and Fabric Obtained From This Yam” in the prior art, the invention is summarized as follows: “The invention relates to a 100% recyclable cotton yam which is obtained by using 100% raw cotton wastes and contains cotton fiber that is, preferably, 22-
28 mm in length, used at a rate of 80-90%, and is supplied from yam production waste, and cotton fiber that is, preferably, 20-25 mm in length, used at a rate of 10-20%, and is supplied from weaving waste, and denim or non-denim fabrics obtained from this yarn.”
In another patent no. W02019113305A1 titled “Method for recycling textile material” in the prior art, the invention explains a method for recycling fiber from textile material. The following process steps are applied to form textile material from fibers: distributing the textile material to a closed group of users wherein the users comprise a common attribute to define homogeneous textile material; collecting the homogeneous textile material wherein the homogeneous textile material comprises used fibers; recovering the used fibers from the homogeneous textile material to generate recovered fibers; and reforming the textile material using the recovered fibers.
The prior art consists of ranforce fabric production methods. There are also methods employing recycled materials and recycled ranforce fabrics. Ranforce fabric production has a certain cost and weaving is challenging. In the current technique, ranforce fabric production is costly and weaving takes a long time due to its yarn structure. Approximately 300 meters of fabric can be woven per day. Constant use of new yams to obtain the fabric causes loss in production, which increases the expenses. Moreover, fabrics manufactured by recycling generally contain polyester-intensive recycled plastic additives.
In conclusion, the abovementioned shortcomings and the inadequacy of the current practice entail an improvement in the respective technical field. Thus, there is a need for an invention to overcome the described problems.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Developed for eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages and providing new advantages to the respective technical field, the present invention relates to an innovation in recycling for ranforce fabric production, wherein it is developed to be
used in recycling processes to be employed in the textile sector, particularly ranforce fabric production.
The product yam has a wide structure which enables 65% more weaving in a day compared to normal weaving. This brings profit in terms of expenses relating to both personnel and factory, as well as saving time.
This system has 100% cotton formation when compared to different additive materials in recycled fabrics.
An objective of the invention is to make use of waste and residual products of a factory since the fabric is made of pre-consumer scraps. This provided profit in factory raw material expenses.
Another objective of the invention is to obtain a fabric that is suitable for pigment dyeing, reactive dyeing, flat printing, and digital printing.
A further objective of the invention is to reduce both the price and the production cost since more weaving will be achieved per unit of time.
The ranforce fabric of the invention can be manufactured bigger, smaller, in different weights by sticking to the same percentages, in different sizes and dimensions.
DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
The preferred alternatives in this detailed description of the embodiment of the innovation in recycling for ranforce fabric production of the present invention are only intended for providing a better understanding of the subject matter and should not be construed in any restrictive sense.
The objective of the invention is to collect pre-consumer waste fabrics from factories and send them to a fiber opening facility by creating a recycling
ecosystem for the ranforce fabric to be manufactured. The fibers are gathered after being opened, and the recycled pre-consumer fiber at a rate of 30% is blended with virgin cotton (original cotton) at a rate of 70% to be converted into yam. This ratio allows minimizing the weariness of the yam to be obtained from recycling, as well as recovering cotton products that become waste just at the stage of manufacturing. The yam obtained with this system is cheaper than 100% newly produced yams; and not so worn-out fabrics are made use of and the collection step is not so costly and laborious since recycled pre-consumer scraps are collected from factories. The recycled fabric is made of 100% cotton.
The properties of the yam manufactured:
Weft: Ne (Number English) 20/1
Warp: Ne 28/1
Density of finished fabric: Weft density: 17 wire/centimeter; Warp density: 31 wire/centimeter
Finished product weight: 115-117 gr/m2 (1/1 plain weave)
The ranforce fabric of the present invention contains 30% factory waste fabric and 70% original (virgin) cotton in its content.
The process steps for the manufacture of the product of the present invention are as follows:
• Factory waste fabric is collected: Pre-consumer waste fabric is collected and sent to a fiber opening facility.
• The residual fabric is obtained as fiber: The fabric is now converted into the fiber.
• The recycled cotton at a rate of 30% is mixed with the addition of virgin cotton at a rate of 70%. This mixture is blended to draw the yam.
• The blended fibers are turned into yam. A thicker yam is manufactured to ensure profitability in weaving.
• Weaving process: Weaving is performed to obtain the end product.
