Dyeing Plant

 Wet Process

 Washing Machine: All types of washing is done by this machine in

washing plant. Washing machine is also used for garments dyeing.
Washing machines are mainly two types based on loading.

A. Front Loading
B. Top loading/Belly machine
 Front loading
In this machine, materials are
loaded from front side. Actually this
is computerized and modern
washing machine.

Advantages:
Computerized machine
Automatically controlled
Good operating system
Dyeing facilities is very good.

Disadvantages:
Maintenance is difficult
Bleaching process is very critical
at this machine.
Price is too high.
 Top loading
In this machine, materials are
loaded from top side. Actually this is
manually operated machine. This is
also called belly machine.

Advantages:
Easy to operate
Manually controlled
User friendly
Good abrasion level.
Back stain is less.

Disadvantages:
Difficult to control all parameters
Have to handled manually.
 Hydro Extractor

By hydro extractor machine, water

is removed from garments.
Garments are put into hydro
following by any wet treatment.
Hydro extractor machine works
based on the centrifugal forces..
About 70-80% water is removed by
this process.
 Ozone Machine
 This machine is used to change
the color of garments (fading) and
also for bleaching. It is like a
normal washing machine but only
difference is that it can destroy the
color using Ozone gas in a closed
chamber. We can perform
sustainable wash by this machine.
For fading, no water treatment is
required here.
 Dryer
 The machine which is used for
drying the garments after wash is
called dryer. Dryer are basically
two types based on heating
process; namely- Gas dryer and
Steam dryer. In the gas dryer
garments are dried within short
time compare to steam dryer.
 Gas Dryer
 In this dryer natural gas is directly
burned and heat is produced. This
heat is applied on the garments
when the dryer drum moves. Heat
is applied here from the upper part
of the dryer.
Steam Dryer
 In this dryer steam is converted to
heat by using a heat exchanger.
Then heat is applied on the
garments when the inside drum
rotates.
 Different types of machine used in washing plant
for Dry Process

Hand Scraping
Machine
 Actually it is not
machine, it is a dummy.
This machine contains
one balloon, stand and
some pneumatic
signals. Garments are
put on dummy, then
take air pressure and
process is done.
 3-D Crinkle
This crinkle slightly differ from normal
crinkle, one is two dimension and other is
three dimension. This machine has some
pattern which put inside the garments and
heating at oven. Before placing pattern,
resin is used at specific place.
Normal Crinkle
Machine
 At first we apply resin on
specific area of garments, then
squeeze the garments of that area
at high temperature at specific
time. This type of crinkle is made
for crimping after wash.
 Plastic Staple Machine
 This machine is used for
tacking the garments. This
machine holds the needle and
plastic pin. When workers
press the paddle of the
machine then moves by the
help of motor and needle go
inside the fabric.
Laser Machine
 Laser machine is used for
fading by burning the garments.
This process is done by light
emitting system. First time we
have to make a design by using
Photoshop or illustrator. Then it
will impose on garments after
selecting the intensity of burn.
 Pen Grinding Machine
 This machine is used for
destroy the garments. One
stone is attached in front of
the machine. When this stone
moves at high speed then the
specific area of garments
become damage which
remain in close contact with
it.
Grinding Machine
 This machine is used for
grinding of garments edges.
Garment edges are placed at
close contact of the machine
and become slightly damages
when wheel moves at high
speed by an electric motors.
 Open Door/Conveyer Belt
Oven
 In this oven, the main door
will never close as the
conveyor belt moves within
the door. Productivity is more
than close door oven.
Garments stay inside the
machine according to retention
time during moving.
Close Door Oven
 In this case, Garments are
hanged with hanger inside
the machine. The time and
temperature is set properly.
After curing, complete
garments are taken out.

or only rubber sheets. After Garments are placed on
making this pattern, it puts dummy then spraying is done
inside the garments then by gun.
