                     Leather Tanning Process Overview
• SkillsFill offers hands-on training in the leather 
tanning process, preparing individuals for 
careers in the leather industry. This 
presentation outlines the essential steps 
involved in transforming raw hides into 
finished leather.
Step 1: Soaking and Liming
• Raw hides are soaked in water to remove salt 
and dirt. Liming follows, using chemicals like 
lime to loosen hair and prepare the hide for 
further processing. SkillsFill emphasizes safety 
and precision in this stage.
Step 2: Dehairing and Fleshing
• Hair is removed from the hides using 
mechanical or chemical methods. Fleshing 
machines then eliminate excess flesh and fat. 
SkillsFill trainees learn to operate these 
machines efficiently and ensure quality 
control.
Step 3: Tanning Process
• Tanning stabilizes the hide, preventing 
decomposition. Common methods include 
vegetable tanning and chrome tanning. 
SkillsFill provides exposure to both techniques, 
teaching their applications and advantages in 
various leather products.
Step 4: Finishing and Drying
• After tanning, leather is dried, conditioned, 
dyed, and finished for texture and 
appearance. SkillsFill training covers modern 
finishing techniques to enhance product 
quality and market readiness.
