Dyeing Machines

Types of dyeing machines

• Fiber dyeing machine
• Yarn dyeing machine
• Knit dyeing machine (Fabric)
• Woven dyeing machine (Fabric)
• Garment dyeing machine
Fibers dyeing machine

• Kier is usually used for fiber dyeing

• Fibers are dyed in the form of cake
Fiber dyeing machine
• This type of machine consists of a cylindrical
carrier, having perforations over its surface, on
which perforated cylinders can be placed.
• The top of the carrier is provided with a hook
by which an overhead crane can lower into or
raise from an outer cylindrical dye vessel.
• Rin case of this type of machine carrier is filled
with package and is placed in the dye vessel.
• This type of machine is suitable for scouring,
bleeching, dyeing and washing
Fabric dyeing machine

• Winch machine
A dyeing machine consisting essentially
of a dye vessel fitted with a driven
winch (usually above the liquor level)
which rotates and draws a length of
fabric, normally joined end to end,
through the liquor.
Winch machine
• In all winch dyeing machines a series
of fabric ropes of equal length are
immersed in the dye bath but part
of each rope is taken over two reels.
Winch dyeing machines area low
cost design that is simple to operate
and maintain.
Winch dyeing machine
• Construction and operation of winch are very simple.
• The winch dyeing machines are suitable for types of wet processing operations
from desizing to softening
• The winch dye machine is suitable for practically all types of fabrics , winch can
withstand creasing in rope form processing
• The tension exerted on winch is less than jigger, the material thus dyed is with
fuller hand.
• The appearance of the dyed goods is clean and smooth on winch dyeing machine
• Batch dyeing operations needs trimming ,swing, opening out the rope, loading
and unloading for individual lots separately.
• Fabric is processed in rope form which may lead to crease marks, particularly in
heavy, woven, thick and light synthetics.
• Most of the machine works under atmospheric conditions
Jigger dyeing machine
Jigger dyeing machine
• This is one of the oldest dyeing machine
used for cloth dyeing operations
• Jigger machine is suitable for dyeing of
woven fabrics up to boiling temperature
without any creasing.
• Jigger exerts considerable lengthwise
tension on the fabric and are more suitable
for the dyeing of woven and knitted fabrics.
Since the fabric is handled in open width, a
jigger is very suitable for fabrics which
crease when dyed in rope form.
Jigger dyeing machine
• Jigger exerts considerable lengthwise tension on the fabric and are
most suitable for dyeing of woven than knitted fabrics
• There are mainly two types of jigger dyeing machine. One is open
jigger dyeing machine and other is closed jigger dyeing machine
• The no of ends or turns depend upon the type of the fabric and also
the percentage of the shade
• It eserts lot of tension in the warp direction and because of this
normally knitted fabrics are not dyed in jigger dyeing machine.
Jigger dyeing machine
• The jigger dyeing machine operates by
transferring the fabric back and forth. This
happens from roller to roller via the
medium of dye bath, that is located at the
base of the machine.
• As soon as the second roller gets full, the
direction of movement of fabric can be
reversed.
• In jigger dyeing the duration of the
process is measured on the basis of the
number of passages or ends of he fabric
passing through the dye bath from roller
to roller.
