Equipment for the production of cotton gloves. We are opening a business for the production of work gloves. Glove knitting machines

a type of business that is characterized by low start-up costs and the absence of sales problems. Cotton products are in high demand when performing various jobs. They protect hands well, but wear out quickly and require updating, which maintains demand for high level during the whole year.

Scope of application and range

Cotton work gloves are used in various fields of activity - agriculture, during the construction of any object, during the loading process, in housing and communal services and when working with dangerous tools (hammer, grinder and others). They will be useful to every car owner and good home owner.

Work gloves are conventionally classified according to size, density, color and the presence of a special PVC coating. Products with “spraying” applied to the surface are used to protect hands when working with lubricated elements. The production of gloves without an additional layer is more aimed at covering the needs of summer residents and builders. The main advantage is the ability of the material to “breathe”.

To implement the project, you will need a business plan, which will take into account initial and monthly costs, demand and other points. Studying competitors' products deserves special attention. It is important that new product had better features or could have been offered at a more affordable price.

Manufacturing Features

The technology for producing work gloves is simple. The main component is threads various types- cotton, combined, wool blend or wool. For reliable fixation on the hand, an elastic band (cuff) is used, made of latex thread and trimmed with cotton. To give the finished product best qualities Other elements may be added to the composition:

• Kevlar thread - makes the structure of work gloves more dense, protects hands from damage from sharp objects.
• Teflon thread - resistant to high temperatures.

The production of work gloves is carried out using automated technology (for example, a knitting machine). The process takes place in several stages:

1. Indication of finished product parameters. The number of loops and rows is specified in the program. Depending on the type of equipment, the initial data is adjusted on a digital display or a plastic chain. The first option is more preferable due to the clarity of the process.
2. Knitting. The device starts working from your fingertips. When it comes to the cuff, rubber thread is added.
3. Finishing the edges using an overlocker (polyester thread is used).
4. Application of protective PVC coating. When performing this work, plastisol is used. The surface is covered by screen printing. The type of pattern that will be reflected on the product is pre-specified.
5. Drying and packaging.

Equipment and raw materials

Business in the production of work gloves requires utmost attention to the selection of equipment and raw materials that will be used for production. To automate the considered technological process The following equipment will be required:

• Knitting machine or glove machine. Using this equipment, you can produce up to 350-400 pairs per day.
• Overlock (similar performance).
• Equipment for applying a protective PVC layer. Such a device is capable of processing up to 800 pairs every hour.
• Machine for drying the finished product.
• Packaging equipment.
• Additional tools(pushers, needles and others).

To increase business productivity, it is worth purchasing several knitting machines. On initial stage 2-3 machines are enough, and in the future their number can be increased to 17-20 devices.

During the manufacturing process, the following raw materials will be required (consumption for the production of one pair):

• Latex thread - 1 g.
• Combined yarn - 40 g.
• Overlock thread - 0.3 g.
• PVC coating - 6 g.

How to register?

The production of work gloves, as a business, requires official registration in the relevant government agencies. If the products will be sold at retail (to ordinary citizens), registration of an individual entrepreneur is sufficient. If you want to expand your sales market and cooperate with companies, you will have to register an LLC. The next stage is choosing the form of taxation. Here, options with the simplified tax system or UTII are possible. The main volume of finished products will go to companies, so it is worth choosing a form of taxation with VAT (when registering an individual entrepreneur, 4-NDFL is suitable).

Selecting a room

The location of the workshop does not matter - it can be located within the boundaries of a populated area or outside it. The main thing is that staff have the opportunity to get to work on time. Requirements for the premises:

• Area - from 70 sq. meters.
• 3-phase electrical supply (380 V). If this is not the case, you will have to pay a lot of money for drawing up a project and connecting electricity.
• Heating available.
• Sufficient lighting.

Staff

Despite the complete automation of the process, it is impossible to do without the involvement of workers. The seamstress's task will include replacing yarn, collecting and distributing finished work gloves. The number of personnel depends on the volume of production. So, if you have several machines (up to 30), you will need:

• Seamstress - 2 people. The task of one worker will be to service machines for the production of work gloves, and the second will be to wind the cuffs of finished products using an overlocker.
• Operator - 1 person. The employee’s responsibilities will include applying PVC coating, as well as setting up equipment (part-time). On average, one technician can service up to 50-60 cars.

Prices and sales market

Against the backdrop of high competition, it is important to pay attention to pricing - it should be slightly lower than that of other manufacturers. With a density of 42 g. and viscosity 7.5, the cost of the product (for sales of 100 pairs or more) is 10-15 rubles. per unit of production. The price for the product may vary depending on the ordered volume of products in the batch. When selling at retail, the price will be higher - 16-18 rubles.

Work gloves are in demand all year round, and if new customers are attracted, the need for this type of protection will only grow. appear daily construction companies needing to equip employees.

Finished goods can be sold through the following channels:

1. Private individuals.
2. Gardening or construction outlets.
3. Industrial enterprises (direct cooperation).
4. Municipal entities (utilities).

Financial part of the project

Before starting a business in the production of work gloves, it is worth deciding on the initial costs (investments), potential profit and rate of return.

Initial costs:

• Rent of a production workshop - 15-17 thousand rubles.
• Equipment - 1.8-2.0 million rubles.
• Taxes and payments for housing and communal services - 40 thousand rubles.
• Salary to staff - from 60 thousand rubles. (depending on the number of employees).
• Raw materials - 50 thousand rubles.
• Other expenses - 1,000 rubles.

As a result, the starting investment for organizing a business is 2-2.2 million rubles.

Depending on the production schedule, in one month you can produce:

• 35-37 thousand knitted items.
• 33-35 thousand overlock blanks.
• 43-45 thousand pairs with PVC coating.

With this volume, the monthly profit is 300-400 thousand rubles.

Net profit - 80-90 thousand rubles.

The profitability of the business is 20-25%, and it is possible to recoup the initial costs in 2-3 years.

Protective gloves are used during gardening, repairs, fishing and in the garage. Professional builders, mechanics and electricians cannot do without them. Therefore, interest in their production is always high. The production process of PVC-coated work gloves includes several stages, each of which takes place on a special type of machine.

Production process

Circular knitting products with PVC coating are manufactured as follows:

• a glove is knitted;
• the outer edge of the cuff is overstitched;
• a layer of PVC paste is applied to the inside of the product and dried;
• work gloves are packed.

The workshop equipment consists of three types of apparatus:

• knitting machine. The workpiece is knitted on it. The entire production process is automatic; you only need to manually load the bobbins of yarn into the machine. Semi-finished products are dumped into storage baskets. The minimum productivity of the machine per hour is 16 pairs;
• glove overlocker. Overcasts the leading edge of the glove. Productivity per hour is on average 180 pairs.
• equipment for covering a product with a layer of PVC. Machine productivity - 260 pairs;
• Packaging equipment. The productivity of the machine per hour is 450 pairs.

For regular production operation, three employees are required: one maintains knitting machines (up to 17 pieces), one each for overlocking and coating with PVC film.

Raw materials used

Natural and synthetic fibers are used for production: cotton, polyester, latex, wool, and also polyester for processing cuffs. Heat-resistant gloves are made from Teflon thread. And from Kevlar - products that are resistant to cutting and other mechanical stress. Most products are made from blended yarn containing 60-80% cotton and synthetic additives for strength.

The required density of the knitted fabric is achieved by selecting the thickness of the yarn. Gloves are made from heavy yarn with a density of 100, 50 or 74 tex. Most machines work with such threads; they are suitable for any class of knitting.

It is advisable to select a thread with a low twist coefficient, from which voluminous, dense products are obtained.

To make the glove fit better on the hand, a rubber or latex ring (rubber band) is sewn into the cuff.

The PVC coating for the palm is called plastisol. It is a mixture of liquid plasticizers and PVC. At room temperature it is in the state of a paste; when heated, it liquefies. Ability to quickly harden, high chemical and mechanical resistance, electrical resistance— properties of plastisol that make it an excellent coating.

Types of equipment

Gloves

The basis for the production of work gloves is computer knitting machines. The principle of operation is similar for different models: the number of loops and rows is set on a digital monitor or on a plastic chain. Next, the knitting process itself occurs, after which the threads on the fingers are automatically cut, and the protruding ends are blown into the glove. Air pressure is provided by a compressor.

All production equipment is divided into classes: 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 15. The number indicates the number of loops per inch. This means that the lower the class, the larger the mating will be. Each glove is knitted from the fingertips. Glove machines can be fully automatic or semi-automatic (rare).

Glove overlockers

The final stage of glove production takes place at the overlocker: overstitching the cuff. The overlocker itself is equipped with a motor and a work table. There are models that add additional elastic when stitching, which improves the consumer properties of the product.

Overlockers differ in sewing speed, stitching width and presser foot lifting height.

Coating machines

Next, a PVC coating is applied to the palm surface of the glove of a certain thickness and pattern. This is done by a special machine, most often made in China. The image is applied by screen printing using a standard matrix. After applying the design, the glove goes into the dryer.

The entire process is controlled automatically. PVC paste is supplied from containers; application can be spot-on or in a continuous thin layer. You can choose any pattern to apply, including logos and designs. The productivity of the equipment depends on the type of pattern and can vary from 800 to 1300 pairs per hour.

The accuracy of drawing is controlled by sensors located in certain places. Matrices for drawings are provided complete with the machine.

Plastisol is the optimal type of PVC for coating gloves. There are many types of PVC pastes on the market, so when choosing raw materials for production, you should carefully study their characteristics.

Payback calculation

Registration of activities

The most acceptable form for a small enterprise is 3 personal income tax, form of activity: Individual entrepreneur.

Most of the products are planned to be sold to industrial enterprises; therefore, it is necessary to choose a taxation system that allows you to work with VAT.

Enterprises that are engaged in knitting cotton gloves have a very high performance income. Experts say they amount to 20 - 30%. Payback for such enterprises takes about two years. As a result, it is very profitable and interesting business model. Basic labor force The enterprises are machine tools, so the production of gloves does not require a large staff.

What equipment is required to produce cotton gloves?

The raw material is cotton blend yarn, which consists of cotton, viscose, acrylic and wool. The main suppliers are China, India, Pakistan and Türkiye. The quality of the material is determined by the country, for example, raw materials from China are not much inferior to India, all because the indicator of quality is the base - cotton. At the same time, the cost of raw materials is within 90 rubles. per kilogram. The country is indicated in the product certificate, so you can easily determine where the raw materials come from. Since machines or robots will be installed in the room, an electrical network with a voltage of 380 V will be required. Based on income calculations, a production process is required in which at least 10 machines will take part. Which, in turn, requires a large area. The cost of renting the premises will cost around 30,000 rubles.

1. A machine for knitting gloves, the cost of the unit is around $4000.
2. Overlock, based on the throughput capacity of 200 pairs of gloves per hour – $2000.
3. The PVC coating machine is the most expensive part; the cost of such a machine will cost about $20,000.
4. Packaging machine costing $800.

How much money is needed to produce cotton gloves?

So, equipment for the production of cotton gloves, producing up to a thousand pairs per day, will cost an individual entrepreneur $26,800. The supply of raw materials needed for production for two months will result in the amount of $7,000. In general, the estimate including all production units will cost around $35,000. The numbers are, of course, approximate and the calculation is not exact due to market dynamics, but approximate cost can be relied upon.

Business for the production of cotton gloves

Recruitment and staff

In order for the enterprise to operate and the production of cotton gloves to occur continuously, a small staff of workers is needed. For the production itself:

1. The operator, his main task will be to set the program for mating and monitor the process. The yarn may break and the machine stops working; this is a feature of the yarn and is not related to its quality. Therefore, the operator monitors the process. Then the glove blanks are collected in special bags, which are handed over to the seamstress.
2. A seamstress is processing a cuff using an overlocker.
3. Another operator will be involved in applying PVC coating.
4. The packer puts the finished goods into packaging containers.
5. As for the extras. staff, then you will need a driver, an accountant and a customer service manager.

How much can you earn from the production of cotton gloves?

The general situation on the market is that demand is growing steadily. Permanent construction sites, enterprises and factories are the main consumers of such products. Ordinary buyers are also interesting. These are summer residents, people who do country work.

As you can see from the table above, the production of gloves costs around 20 cents per pair, when taking into account all production costs, Wholesale price purchases: 30-50 cents. The retail price will be from 60 to 80 cents. Therefore, the benefit is quite obvious.

Key clients may be: supermarkets, retail outlets, equipment contractors for large construction and industrial enterprises, housing and communal services. If you do not plan to work with large organizations, then the form of the enterprise can be individual entrepreneur. When working with large companies, it is worth switching to common system payment of taxes, as well as VAT registration.

We proposed our own idea for a business, which has not lost its relevance for a long time. The costs at the first stage are large, but this is a one-time investment, which, after the payback period, will continue to generate income. It is important to find ways to sell products as soon as possible. As a rule, in the future it will be possible to expand the sales network and increase the production turnover of cotton work gloves.

Russian-made gloves are in stable demand among consumers. The income of enterprises manufacturing these products varies from 20 to 30%. Organization of production does not require large financial investments. The amount of investment depends on the planned capacity of the enterprise. In any case, the entrepreneur will return his money in 1.5 - 2 years. Therefore, the business of producing cotton gloves can be considered as a fairly profitable enterprise that brings its owner a stable profit and has good development prospects.

Our business assessment:

Starting investments – from RUB 1,650,000. and higher.

Market saturation is average.

The difficulty of starting a business is 8/10.

Potential Buyers

Cotton household gloves are in demand in many areas of human activity. They are used for domestic and industrial needs. Therefore, the manufacturer can consider retail and wholesale sales of finished products. It is advisable to enter into long-term contracts for the supply of wholesale quantities of finished products to utilities and industrial enterprises, large construction companies and shopping centers.

Range of products

Sales growth is positively influenced by an increase in the range of products. It is possible to establish the production of construction gloves with and without PVC coating.

The advantages of PVC coating are obvious:

• It is convenient to work in such gloves;
• they protect hands well from mechanical damage and negative environmental influences;
• products are durable and strong;
• air penetrates through the knitted texture, eliminating sweaty hands.

There are also cotton gloves with dot coating and “drenched”. You can produce dense products knitted with several threads or double cotton gloves.

Financial investments

To open an enterprise whose activity is the production of cotton gloves, you must have experience in this field and start-up capital. The most expensive part of the project is the purchase of equipment. But the amount directly depends on the estimated production capacity. For example, to organize a small enterprise you will need 15 knitting machines, an overlocker and a device for packaging products. The total cost of the equipment will be about 1,400,000 rubles.

Enterprise registration

The best option, which provides a number of advantages, is to register an enterprise in the form of an individual entrepreneur. A small production can pay tax based on profit - 15%, or on revenue - 6%. Larger organizations, where almost all products are sold through industrial and municipal enterprises, and the main buyers are legal entities, the taxation system should provide for work with and without VAT.

Premises for organizing a workshop and recruiting personnel

Before purchasing equipment for the production of cotton and PVC gloves, you need to select a suitable premises. There are not many requirements for it: an area of ​​at least 100 m2 and the presence of the necessary communication systems. In the process of manufacturing cotton products, special machines and devices are used that operate from electrical network 380 V.

The automatic glove making machine is the main workforce of the enterprise, so the production does not need large quantities workers. To service 15-17 installations, 3-5 people are enough:

• one seamstress can change yarn and collect ready-made gloves from storage units of 15-30 machines;
• one seamstress is needed to work on an overlocker;
• the device that applies PVC coating is serviced by one operator, who can also be a master adjuster (the technology allows one adjuster to service up to 60 machines).

The production workshop will also require a cleaner and a handyman. The functions of an accountant at the initial stage can be performed by the entrepreneur himself.

The optimal solution for the owner of any production is piecework-bonus payment to employees. The salary of one employee will be at least 20,000 rubles. per month.

Manufacturing technology

Technological stages of glove production

The glove production technology consists of several stages:

• knitting the workpiece;
• overcasting the edge of the cuff;
• applying PVC coating;
• drying in a special chamber;
• packaging of finished products.

Modern knitting machines are divided into 4 classes (7G, 10G, 13G and 15G) and differ in the programs they contain. The number indicated in the marking indicates the number of loops per inch.

The knitting machine knits the glove from the fingers to the cuffs. The program at a certain point introduces latex thread into the yarn. The edge of the cuff is processed using an overlocker with polyester thread.

Cotton gloves with latex coating involve the use of screen printing and a special matrix, with the help of which a layer of polyvinyl chloride is applied.

Equipment for making work gloves

Glove Knitting Machine

The Russian market offers those who wish big choice equipment and auxiliary tools for enterprises engaged in the manufacture of such products. Devices have different prices and quality. Therefore, before buying a machine for the production of cotton gloves, you should carefully study the following aspects:

• specifications;
• terms of Use;
• manufacturer's reputation;
• price.

For most beginning entrepreneurs, the price of equipment for the production of cotton gloves is the main parameter when choosing. Knitting machines and devices for applying PVC are not cheap.

You can save in two ways:

• purchase of used equipment (for example: 10kl machine from 35,000 to 65,000 rubles);
• leasing

In the first case, there is a risk of buying low-quality equipment. The second method involves purchasing a new high-quality machine, but with a small overpayment.

The price of a machine for the production of cotton work gloves with computer control varies from 300,000 rubles. and higher (devices without an electronic control unit are cheaper). Therefore, when choosing the right device, you need to familiarize yourself with its technical and operational characteristics. Problems that arise during operation or breakdown of equipment threaten the entrepreneur with large losses.

Apparatus for applying PVC to workpieces

The production line includes the following devices:

• knitting machine – from RUB 300,000;
• overlocker, capable of processing about 400 gloves (200 pairs) in 1 hour of work - from 130,000 rubles;
• device that applies a layer of PVC - from RUB 920,000;
• packaging machine – from RUB 40,000.

A complete set of equipment will cost the entrepreneur about 1,390,000 rubles.

Consumables

The consumable material for the production of gloves is a special blended yarn, which includes cotton, viscose, acrylic, and wool. Raw materials are imported to Russia from Uzbek, Chinese, Turkish, Pakistani, and Indian manufacturers and differ in price and quality. For example, products from China are much inferior in quality to Indian yarn, because the climatic conditions in India are better for growing cotton. But products from the Middle Kingdom cost much less than Indian raw materials. The country of origin must be indicated on the certificate. The average cost of raw materials is about 100 rubles. for 1 kg.

Other materials are also used in the production of work gloves:

• cotton yarn with the addition of synthetic fibers;
• wool;
• semi-woolen thread;
• combinations of artificial fibers.

A businessman who decides to open an enterprise for the production of work gloves must make a month's supply of raw materials, the purchase of which will cost about 350,000 rubles.

Economic calculations

A competent business plan for the production of gloves must include financial calculations. This paragraph takes into account expenses associated with organizing activities, purchasing equipment, and others. The possible profit for a certain period and the profitability of production are also calculated.

Consumption:

• rent - from 20,000 rubles;
• fund wages– from 100,000 rubles;
• purchase of equipment – ​​from RUB 1,390,000;
• other expenses (tax, electricity, communal payments, transportation costs) – from 30,000 rubles.

A fully equipped workshop (15-17 knitting machines) can produce up to 35,000 pairs of gloves in 1 month.

Profit calculation:

• the cost of 1 pair of work gloves is about 6 rubles. (including consumption of raw materials, electricity and others);
• selling price: wholesale – from 14 rubles, retail – from 17 rubles.

Net profit from 35,000 will be at least 300,000 rubles. All investments will pay off in 18 - 26 months.

The production and sale of PVC-coated cotton work gloves is considered a highly profitable enterprise. Demand for our products has been stable for many years. The success of a business is guaranteed by a competent plan based on a study of supply and demand, including a detailed opening scheme and preliminary calculations. The main problem of production is the sale of finished products.

If the region already has major manufacturer, then before investing your own savings in organizing a new enterprise, it is advisable to familiarize yourself in detail with the working conditions of your competitors. And also think over the policy of the new enterprise: how you can interest customers, what bonuses, discounts and assortment you can offer them.
