Leather Production Process Diagram

The diagram outlines the process of transforming animal skins into leather goods, starting with air-drying the skins before transporting them to a factory for chemical treatments. The skins undergo washing with lime, soaking in concentrated lime, flattening, and tanning with vegetable-derived tannin, followed by polishing to enhance their appearance. Finally, the processed leather is sent to another factory for manufacturing various products, illustrating a complex and lengthy industrial process.

The diagram illustrates how animal skins are processed in order to produce a range of leather items such

as shoes, handbags and toys.

In the initial stages of the process, the skin is air-dried before being loaded onto trucks and taken to

a nearby factory where it undergoes two chemical treatments to clean and soften it. Firstly it is

washed with a mixture of water and lime, and then it is soaked in concentrated/pure lime and pushed

through a rolling machine in order to flatten it, after which it is submerged in a vat of tannin, which

is a substance derived from vegetables.

The last stage involves polishing the leather with a roller to improve its appearance. The pieces are

subsequently transported by road to a processing factory where they are made into a number

of everyday products like footwear and sports items in preparation for shipping.

Overall, the diagram shows that, despite the fact that the process of treating animal skins is done mostly

in factories with the help of machinery, it is still lengthy and complex, involving several stages.
