TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY

  • SPINNING JENNY

    SPINNING JENNY

    The creator was James Hargreaves around 1764 in England.Attach fibers to the rovings on the beam Extend the fibers through the two horizontal bars.
    Clasp the bars together to hold the fibers.
    Turn the wheel with your right hand to spin the rovings into thread.
    Return the bars and wind the finished thread onto the spindle.
  • HYDRAULIC SPINNING MACHINE

    HYDRAULIC SPINNING MACHINE

    The creator was Richard Arkwright in around 1770 England.Works by using the power of water to move its mechanisms, stretching and twisting textile fibers to turn them into yarn which is then wound onto spindles.
  • THE COTTON DEMONSTRATOR

    THE COTTON DEMONSTRATOR

    The creator was Eli Whitney in 1793 in USA.A Cotton gin separates the cotton fiber from its seed and plant debris using rotating saws that pull the fibers through a comb of rods, preventing the passage of larger seeds. A bristle cylinder then brushes the fibers, freeing them from the mechanism for subsequent compaction and baling. The seeds are recovered and sent for other uses, thus completing the ginning process.
  • THE JACQUARD POWER LOOM

    THE JACQUARD POWER LOOM

    The creator was Joshep Marie Jaquard in 1801 in France .Controlling individual warp threads using a punched card system that determines the fabric's pattern. Each hole or space in a card allows or blocks the movement of a warp thread, activating or deactivating hooks that lift threads before the shuttle passes the weft thread. This process, which is repeated in a sequence.
  • THE SEWING MACHINE

    THE SEWING MACHINE

    The creator was Elias Howe in 1846 in USA.The needle descends to create a loop with its thread.
    The shuttle and lower thread close the loop, creating a joining stitch between the two threads.
    A feed mechanism moves the fabric.
    The needle rises to repeat the cycle.
  • ROBOT SEWBOTS

    ROBOT SEWBOTS

    The creator was George Devol in 1950 in USA.Garment robots operate using multi-axis robotic arms to perform precise movements, often equipped with specialized tools and machine vision systems to manipulate and join pieces of fabric and other materials, increasing efficiency and reducing production costs.
  • DTG PRINTER

    DTG PRINTER

    The creator was Benny Landa in 1977 in USA.It works like a textile inkjet printer, where a digital design is sent to the machine, the garment is pre-treated, and then the printer heads apply the color directly onto the textile, which is then heat-set for a durable, smooth-finish print.
  • ECOLOGIC PLUS

    ECOLOGIC PLUS

    The creator was Brazzoli in 2007 in Italy.It works as a continuous dyeing machine that automates the control of parameters such as time, bath ratio, and speed to optimize the consumption of water, energy, and chemicals in the dyeing process, resulting in more consistent and efficient results.
  • BLOCK CHAIN

    BLOCK CHAIN

    The creator was a group known as Satoshi Nakamoto in 2007 in Japan.Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, digital database that securely and immutably records transactions, forming a chain of cryptographically linked blocks. It increases transparency, security, and efficiency in recording and tracking assets, both tangible and intangible.
  • ARAKUAA

    ARAKUAA

    The creator was Grecia Bello in 2025 in Bolivia.It is a machine designed to transform recycled plastic into sustainable textile fibers, representing an act of "creative resistance" and a tool for "cultural and ecological regeneration."
