Jute machines, step by step

The machines are in the order they work in the process. Ask us about any of them: we check feasibility and the import rules before we quote.

Softening

Raw jute is opened and passed through fluted rollers while water and oil are added, so the fibre turns soft and supple.

  • Jute softener

    Fluted rollers that crush and bend raw jute while it is sprayed with water and oil emulsion, making the fibre soft and supple.

Carding

Carding machines split and straighten the fibres and form them into a continuous ribbon called sliver.

  • Breaker card

    A large cylinder with pins that tears the softened jute into finer fibres and forms a loose sliver.

  • Finisher card

    A finer card that opens the sliver further and blends it into a more even ribbon of fibre.

Drawing

Several slivers are combined and drawn out so the ribbon becomes thinner and more even.

  • Drawing frame

    Combines several slivers and draws them out between gill pins, so the sliver becomes even and the fibres lie parallel.

Spinning

The sliver is drawn out further and twisted into yarn.

Winding

Yarn for the warp is wound onto spools and yarn for the weft onto cops, ready for the loom.

Weaving

Looms weave the yarn into hessian, sacking and other jute cloth.

Finishing and bag making

Cloth is pressed smooth, cut and sewn into sacks and bags, then pressed into bales for shipping.
