Garment Industry — Field Notes
Türkiye is the world's 6th largest garment exporter; the İstanbul Merter, Bursa İnegöl, Denizli, Tekirdağ, and İzmir Torbalı clusters generate $22B in annual foreign trade. Finishing operations differ dramatically by product type: shirt manufacturers need dummy machines and shirt presses; trouser lines need trouser tables and side-press; suit/jacket production needs jacket dummies and form finishers. The most common pain point: finishing line falling behind production. A modern shirt sewing line outputs 80-120 pieces/hour; manual ironing can't keep up at half that rate. An automatic dummy + table combination cuts finishing time by 50-60%, lowering per-piece labor cost. Kleppa's industrial press lines and Silter steam/dummy systems have a 40-year track record in this segment — most pattern shops already run this stack.
Capacity Table by Production Volume
| Production Type | Daily Pieces | Recommended Line |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern Shop | 100-300 pieces/day | 1 dummy + 1 steam generator + 2 press irons |
| Small Production | 300-1,000 pieces/day | 2 dummies + 3-4 press irons + trouser table (for trouser line) |
| Mid Production | 1,000-3,500 pieces/day | 4-6 dummies + 6-8 presses + form finisher + tunnel finisher |
| Large Production | 3,500+ pieces/day | Fully automated finishing line + tunnel finisher + 8+ parallel dummies |
Ideal Finishing Mix for Garment
- Dummy machine: separate dummies for shirts and jackets — Silter or Kleppa manufacture options
- Trouser table: vacuum-assisted, dual-track (side + leg) — 80-120 pieces/hour
- Press iron: steam-generator powered, 5-7 kW, automatic thermostat
- Steam generator: 8-15 kW electric or gas — feeds 6-12 parallel irons/dummies
- Tunnel finisher: at 1,000+ pieces/day, automatic steam tunnels remove the need for manual dummies
Frequently Asked Questions
Dummy machine or press iron?
A dummy (Silter, Kleppa) finishes the entire shirt/jacket body in one pass — 100-150 pieces/hour. Press irons handle local finishing — collars, cuffs, trouser legs. You need both: dummy ₺280-650K, press iron ₺80-180K.
How many kW of steam generator should I size for?
Practical rule: parallel irons/dummies × 1.2 kW. For 5 irons + 2 dummies, you need at least a 9 kW generator. Above this, gas becomes more economical — electric tops out around 4-7 kg/hr steam.
Does a tunnel finisher pay back?
At 1,500+ pieces/day, yes — cuts manual ironing cost 70%. ₺2.5-4.5M investment, 20-30 month payback. Below that, manual dummies + presses give better flex (model changes).
Do I need CE certification for export?
CE/EN 60204 (machinery safety) for production equipment plus PED for steam boilers — both mandatory. Kleppa-manufactured and Silter equipment ships with full CE/PED documentation.
Do vintage/washed denim productions need special equipment?
Yes — sandblasting, ozone wash, laser fade equipment come from different supply channels; finishing remains standard trouser table + dummy. For washing, separate vendor group (Italian Tonello, Spanish Jeanologia).
