Fabric Shrinkage Rate Tester | A smart instrument developed by the sister company ChiuVention.

SmartShrink Shrinkage Rate Tester determines multiple shrinkage rate test results in 5 seconds for fabrics after washing, steaming, and dry-cleaning. SmartShrink takes a picture of a fabric sample by using a camera equipped on the top, automatically measuring the distances between the marked dots, and calculates the test results by the patented vision inspection algorithm of ChiuVention. The test results will be shared with the IoT-connected SmarTexLab app installed on the computer and smartphone.

SmartShrink automatically measures fabric shrinkage and calculates the test results, avoiding manual errors and making the test more accurate and reliable; It automatically saves the test data and sample photos, and can share and send the test results in real-time, making the test more transparent and trustworthy; The whole process of the test has been reduced from 6 minutes to only 5 seconds, making the test more rapid and reducing the cost by more than 90%.

Description

 

The test results are more accurate and reliable.

By using SmartShrink Shrinkage Rate Tester, the test sample is photographed with a high-definition camera, and the distances between the marked dots are automatically measured, The shrinkage rate is calculated with a unique algorithm, yielding all test results in real-time accurately.

Save $30,000/year for textile testing labs.

In the conventional process, for each sample to be tested for shrinkage, it takes 6 minutes to finish the work: measuring and recording before/after washing, calculating, typing the data into the computer, printing the report, etc., while SmartShrink can do all the work above in just 5 seconds.

Output multiple data at one time, reflecting the quality of fabric more comprehensively and objectively.

Warp and weft shrinkage, seam twist rate, vertical twist rate, and diagonal twist rate can be output at one time,  including credibility rating for the test results. It can evaluate the quality of the fabric more comprehensively.

Famous brands are using SmartShrink.

International brands and authoritative testing institutions such as Anta, Adidas, Texwinca, and ITS have widely used SmartShrink Shrinkage Rate Tester.

Can be connected to an ERP or LIMS system.

The test results can be directly uploaded to the factory’s ERP or laboratory LIMS system. SmartShrink Fabric Shrinkage Test Machine can help you manage shrinkage test data conveniently and efficiently.

 

Why update your fabric shrinkage test method?

Conventional Fabric Shrinkage Rate Testing Process  

 

SmartShrink Fabric Shrinkage Rate Testing Process

 

 

 

1. Mark the dots and wash the sample;

2. Place the fabric sample flat on the working table; and measure the distances between the dots by Shrinkage Template Scale;

3. Calculate the shrinkage rate manually based on the Fabric Shrinkage Formula and record it on the label;

4. Summarize the Fabric Shrinkage Rate data and fill in the form;

5. Type the fabric shrink data into the computer.

 

1. Before washing, mark the dots and use this machine to scan the code of the fabric sample to identify the sample information;

2. After the washing, place the sample flat on the platform of SmartShrink Fabric Shrinkage Rate Tester, and the camera above automatically collects the distances between the dots on the warp and weft directions of the fabric;

3. The Fabric Shrinkage Rate Tester will calculate the shrinkage rate automatically in real-time by the computer software and save the shrinkage rate test results to form a report.

 

Time  Consuming of Conventional Testing Process:

Over 6 minutes!

Time  Consuming of SmartShrink Testing Process:

Only 5 seconds!

According to the conventional process, for a lab that tests 200 samples per day, it takes 20 hours to complete the whole work, and more than 2 people are required; while using this new Fabric Shrinkage Test Method and machine, it only takes 16 minutes.

Therefore, the Fabric Shrinkage Rate Tester can save more than 2 labor costs for the lab.

Conventional Fabric Shrinkage Rate Testing

Manual operation, the greater the workload, the higher the error rate!

SmartShrink Fabric Shrinkage Rate Testing

Smart and Auto measurement, more accurate and faster, with a lower error rate!

What is Fabric Shrinkage?


Fabric shrinkage is a common phenomenon that the defect of the fabric which is subjected to home laundering procedures. To determine the quality of the fabric, shrinkage is an important element which is needed to consider. There are many elements to affect the dimensional changes of the fabrics such as the washing temperature,  rinse temperature, dying procedures, etc.

Scope and Purpose of Fabrics Shrinkage Test


The shrinkage rate of textiles is an important item which must be tested in the textile industry of every country at present. At present, the countries with different standards of shrinkage rate of textiles carry out their own standards.

This testing method is suitable for the size change of woven fabric and knitted fabric after multiple household washing, and the shrinkage of various textiles after washing by conventional household washing method is detected.

Marking


Place the specimen on the measuring table and make at least three pairs of marks on it in both length and width directions. Ensure that the distance between the marks of each pair is at least 350mm, that no mark is less than 50mm from the edges of the specimen and that the measuring points are regularly spaced across the specimen.

Test Method


Lay the specimen flat on the smooth, flat surface and remove wrinkles without stretching the specimen. Place the ruler on the specimen, taking care to avoid distortion of the specimen. Record the distance between the pairs of marks to the nearest 1mm. Flatten the wrinkled specimen by the instrument so that the measurement does not cause deviation.

Report Content


The change rate of the dimension in the direction of length and the width direction, taking the average value of each measurement.

Describe the laundry conditions used, including water level, water temperature, and laundry procedure.

Describe the dry conditions used, including drying procedures and temperature.

Explain the appearance change of the test sample after washing.
