SANFORIZED
TECHNICAL SERVICES
One key element
of our system is the continuous in-plant technical services provided each
Sanforized licensee. This service is important, in part, because of constant
change and improvements in finishing of all types of cotton fabrics and
blends. Our worldwide staff of technical representatives is, of necessity,
specializing in keeping abreast of these changing conditions. This enables
them to adapt new finishing formulas, processing techniques, and other
means necessary to achieve proper shrinkage control.
These technical
representatives make regularly scheduled service visits to licensees.
Also, they are frequently asked to resolve problems which can and do arise
between their regular visits. It’s important to note that because
of the varying technical nature of shrinkage control, these requests come
from licensees of many years’ experience as well as from new licensees.
In addition
to the technical services provided each licensee, our technical representatives
are frequently called upon to help improve garment manufacturing, fabric
handling, and laundering techniques – all of which seriously affect
shrinkage.
The importance
and the difficulties of quality shrinkage control must not be underestimated.
It cannot be claimed that the Sanforized system is perfect. It can be
emphatically stated, however, that the Sanforized program represents by
far the best and most consistent shrinkage control available. Thus, it
is the best protection against costly shrinkage complaints, resulting
in loss of good will and customers.
TECHNICAL
SERVICE HIGHLIGHTS
Routine
Visits
A Sanforized representative will make routine visits to each licensee
at no additional cost to the licensee. These visits may include fabric
testing, training of personnel, fabric finishing trials, and technical
advice on a wide variety of subjects related to shrinkage control.
Special
Visits
Our technical service personnel are available to the licensee for a special
visit at the request of the licensee. Special visits on short notice or
for an extended period of time may result in nominal charges to cover
travel expenses.
Machine
Audits
Machine audits are an in-depth examination of the mechanical condition
of a machine, the operating procedures of the machine, record keeping
for the machine, fabric preparation, fabric testing, spare parts, etc.
The highlights of the audit specifically address problems in the following
areas:
–Safety
–Machine defects which may affect fabric quality
–Machine defects which may result in down time
