Advantages
Under normal sampling conditions in a socks factory, technicians have to knit their samples,
then remove and weigh every yarn package used in the sample. This involves snipping each
yarn, removing the packages from the machine and weighing them and then replacing,
re-threading and resetting tensions for each yarn.
In the case of complex socks with multiple ends and colours this makes for a lot of work. So,
immediately Pesafil can save a lot of time ¨C possibly up to 80% on a sample.
But there is an even more important advantage and that is in being able to determine the
exact quantities of each yarn used in the sample. Ten grams of yarn here or there does not
sound like much but if you are producing 10,000 pairs of socks for an order in expensive
hosiery yarns then every gram counts. Pesafil will now allow manufacturers to plan and
properly cost their production based on accurate sampling data. ¡°By inserting a card reporting
the cost of the yarn being used, the cost of the manufactured sample is immediately given¡±
