Abstract:

A new type of plasma equipment for continuous processing based on the new technology of atmospheric pressure plasma has been developed recently for reducing the use of chemicals and pollution and saving energy in the desizing process of cotton fabrics. The total power consumption of this equipment is 50kW and its treating width of fabric is up to 1.6 meter. The working speed of the equipment is ranged from 5-60 m/min which is controlled by a PLC automatic and midpoint system. The elementary experimental results showed that the high of capillary effect of the sample treated on both sides by the equipment with the speed of 50 m/min is up to 8 cm, which is equivalent to that treated by traditional Wet-chemical process.
