The provided image illustrates the steps involved in the production of leather goods.
From an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that there are 11 steps in this process, beginning with the collection and drying of animal skins and concluding with producing the end products.
At the first stage, animal skins are collected and dried before being sent to the factory, where they are carefully filtered and washed with a compound of water and lime to eliminate dust and other substances. Subsequently, the washed skins are soaked in a lime mixture to prevent bacteria growth, and then flattened by a heavy machine called a flattener.
In the seventh step, the flattened products are soaked in tannin, encompassing water and vegetable matter, to make the skins waterproof and resistant to bacteria and mold. Before being sent to the factory for the production of end products, such as clothes or sporting equipment, the skins are polished by a polisher, a machine that enhances their shine.
