The process illustrates how animal skins are produce into the leather.
Overall, the entire process consists of twelve steps, beginning with the delivery animal skins to the factory, ending with the waxing, which produce the final product.
To start with, after being transported from farms, animal skins are sorted into stacks based on size. Trimming follows, removing redundant sections. Next, salt is added as a preservative, restricting bacterial growth and protecting the leather from decay. Then, a 30-day period of curing takes place on specialised racks before hides undergo a soaking phase for 12-24 hours in water. Hair removal is processed via a knife.
Subsequently, animal skins are pickled in a mixture of salt and acid for better softness. This is followed by tanning, when hides are treated with chemicals for 48 hours in a rotating drum to strengthen their durability. After that, pigment and oil are added to the process to achieve a soft texture and standard color. Finally, leathers are dried by machine before being applied with a layer of wax for a smooth and polished appearance of finished outcomes.
