Warping

DORNIER RAPIER LOOM

The Weave Plant is comprised of all modern, flexible dornier high-speed weaving machines.
Each is equipped with multi-insertion and high harness capabilities to offer greater versatility.

PRE-PRODUCTION

Our design and development team works with individual sales people and directly with customers to
determine the necessary components of a particular fabric. They then marry the proper combinations of fiber,
yarn, weave and construction to provide customers with products that meet or exceed the specific require-
ments of the industry. Using the tools at their disposal including CAD systems, their own looms and a Karl-
Mayer sample warper, the design team can achieve much of their work separately from the streamlined
production facilities of the rest of the plant.

PRODUCTION

The production facilities are modern and efficent, utilizing equipment best suited to our customers
demands and for flexibility. From the handling of yarn through weaving, our capabilities include: minimizing
yarn waste and production minimums by reducing yarn package size from very large to small on our Corgi
Coner, uptwisting yarns in our throwing department to provide added yarn strength and/or fabric effect,
automated warp drawing through harnesses and reed to quickly provide beams to our looms,
offering fabric with tucked or fringe selvages, depending on customer requirements, and the ability to
offer multiple warp yarn types and sizes with our double beam capability.

ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES

Additional production capabilities include fabric widths from less than 45" up
to 73" and yarn sizes ranging from 50 denier to 5000 denier and above. Though
Bloomsburg specializes in textured polyester, we often provide fabrics which
include a multitude of fibers such as nylon, cotton, spandex, FR polyester,
recycled polyester, organic cotton, Inego^TM, polypropylene, rayon, carbon, flax,
among many others including novelties, spuns and slubs.

Upon completion of weaving, the cloth roll (or bale) is taken to the inspection frame. It is carefully
checked for defects in yarn or weaving. Any problems are immediately reported and investigated
and required corrections are made. The bale is graded by quality standards and either shipped in
the greige or sent to our finishing plant in Monroe NC.
