The fabrics have distinct colors, sizes and types and their manufacturing process needs to meet extremely strict quality criteria. This paper will present a qualitative analysis of the main variables that interfere in the gum cooking process through a jet pump called a jetcooker. The analysis made use of a technology that is not yet widespread in the textile sector, but is widely used in other industries, especially the oil industry. Computer simulation is a powerful tool for testing and modifying processes for improvement. With it was possible to verify that the steam temperature is the most influential factor for this process besides indicating that temperatures around 110ºC are critical for this type of cooking.Attribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/Indústria têxtilSimulação de processoCozimento de gomaTextile industryProcess simulationCooking gumbachelorThesisEngenharia Química
