Concerns all types of animal fibres

  • B. Carbonizing

This treatment uses chemicals in order to remove all the vegetal matters from the wool. It concerns the combing wastes and some wool types

Additional treatments

After scouring or carbonizing a bleach can occur. We use therefore hydrogenperoxyde that is harmless for environment.

After scouring we may also apply special treatments for example flame proofing, mothproofing…

Cooling room and picking

After drying the goods are brought in big rooms where they can breathe to recover their temperature and equilibrate their humidity.

At this stage, we are able to inspect the quality of the whole lot. If requested, we make a picking to remove the troubling faults.

Packing

The goods coming out of the cooling room are press-packed in about 300 kg bales. The bales are automatically scanned in order to determine the average regain.

Upon request we can also repack your goods.

Warehousing of the finished goods

Finally the bales are warehoused and we release the goods to a forwarding company when the customer gives his shipping order.
