BATCHING

Batching preparation is the process where inspected gray knits are divided into different batches with reasonable quantities according to machine capacity, nozzle number, availability of machines etc in order to make them suitable for the further operation in batching. It must be carefully observed that each nozzle of a machine contains equal length of knit.

Batching only for gray knit. Buyer requirement 3000kg capacity of machine is 500kg with 3 nozzle, then 3000/500=6 times and 488kg per machine 488/3=122 per nozzle. 488*6=2928 rest 72kg dyed in another machine in this way batching process is done.
