yarn spinner

properties of textile materials

The characteristics and properties of different textile and fabric materials. These include strength, flexibility, elasticity, softness, durability, heat insulation, low weight, water absorbency/repellence, dyeability and resistance to chemicals. Moreover, the influence of chemical composition and molecular arrangement of yarn and fibre properties and fabric structure on the physical properties of textile fabrics; the different fibre types; the materials used in different processes and the effect on materials as they are processed. 

Usage Competence references ESCO source

staple spinning machine technology

Technologies, operations, monitoring and maintenance of machines during the yarn spinning process.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

control textile process

Planning and monitoring textile production to achieve control on behalf of quality, productivity and delivery time.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

convert textile fibres into sliver

Convert textile fibres into drafting sliver by working in the fibre opening, carding and drafting process.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

covert slivers into thread

Convert slivers into yarns or threads by combing processes converting drafting card sliver to combed sliver. Form short fibre to yarn using yarn and thread processing technologies, mostly ring spinning or open-end spinning (rotor spinning) or alternative spinning techniques. Work in the drafting or drawing process converting sliver into roving and converting roving into yarn, through further drafting and twisting processes. Work on winding machines to reel the yarn from bobbins onto spools or cones.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

evaluate textile characteristics

Evaluate textiles and their properties in order to manufacture products in conformity with specifications.

Usage Competence references ESCO source

finish processing of man-made fibres

Completing the processing operation of man-made fibres and ensuring that the product is made according to customer specification

Scope note

It includes surface engineering and other treatments that will alter the properties of the man-made fibers, like texturising, stabilizing, antistatic treatment and so on.
