The enzyme washing process of batch of 60 kgs denim men’s long pants (Trouser) are described below:-

 First step: Desizing

Lot weight (80 pcs) = 60 kg denim long pant.

Add water @ L:R = 1:9 i.e. 540 liters.

Machine running.

Temperature = 60°c.

Add desizing agent @ = 0.6 gm/liter i.e. 324 gm.

Add detergent @ = 0.8 gm/liter i.e. 432.

Time = 10-20 minutes.

Drop the liquor.

Wash by cold water.

Second step: Enzyme

Add water @ L:R = 1:8 i.e. 450 liters.

Temperature = 45°c.

Add acetic acid @ = 0.6gm/liter i.e. 270 gm.

Add anti back staining @ = 0.6 gm/liter i.e. 270 gm.

Increase temperature to 90°c and run 1 minute.

Drain the bath.

Rinse twice, each 3 minutes.

Third step: Softening

Add water @ L:R = 1:8 i.e. 450 liters.

Add acetic acid @ = 0.6gm/liter i.e. 270 gm.

Cationic softener @ = 1 gm/liter i.e. 450 gm.

Temperature = cold.

Time = 15-20 minutes.

Drain the bath.

Then unload the garments on trolley. 

Fourth step: Hydro-extractor machine

After unloading garments from the washing machine then they are sent to hydroextractor machine to remove excess water from the washed garments.

 Fifth step: Drying machine
