MACHINES FOR TEXTILE COLORATION. PART 2. APPLICATION BY PRINTING.

A look at the local application of dyes or pigments in specified areas of the fabric according to a multicolored design addresses knowledge gained in Europe from the Chinese method of block printing onto silk fabrics. A description of other innovative machinery includes that of the engraved roller printer, screen printing, and transfer pr..

GREEN ACCENT ON DYED COTTON

The increasing interest in making the textile industry less harmful to the environment has resulted in the VH-Tric-O-Steam, a continuous cotton fabric dyeing machine built by Danish machine builder Vald Henrikson. The machine reduces water consumption by 20 percent compared to the traditional exhaust methods and produces no shade variatio..

THEN AIRFLOW -- NEWEST PIECE DYE DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSED AT SEMINAR.

The Then Airflow machine utilizes a low liquor ratio because of the air compression in the gas circuit; this results in less mechanical action on the surface of the fabric. A high-temperature drain facility allows the temperature to be decreased from 130 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius in less than one second. The Then Datocomp DCE..

GREEK OVERFLOW MACHINE LAUNCHED.

Sclavos' Apollon Twin Solt-Flow overflow dyeing system is designed for atmospheric dyeing of delicate woven and knit fabrics in various weights. Fabric moves without tension or friction. A new self-requlating liquid extraction system and plaiting device places the fabric perfectly in the J-box. The following specifications are noted: spee..

CUBOPAC--A SYSTEM FOR ROBOTIZED DYEING OF YARN ON CONES

Leopoldo Pozzi of Milan has developed a cone dyeing treatment based on the use of material carriers made of a series of square pallets. Each pallet can receive a minimum of 16 cones and can be stacked up to 7 units high. The Cubopac pallets from support and separators for the cones and can be used for charging and discharging in dyeing ma..

COUNTINUOUS TUBULAR COTTON DYEING MACHINE.

Henriksen's VH-Tric-O-Steam continuous washing and dyeing machine for tubular cotton knit fabrics was awarded to Danish Environment Prize for clean technology. Water consumption has been decreased by 20 percent in comparison to conventional exhaust methods. The cost of treating waste water is thereby decreased as well. The machine is capa..

NEW GENERATION FONGSFLOW.

Fong's new generation MK-6140 Fongsflow HT dyeing machine is based on the earlier model MK5A. A low lifting weight decreases fabric tension for gentle handling and minimum distortion. The machine is equipped with a programmable Continuous Overflow Rinsing system to reduce water consumption and rinsing time. The GN9-100 atmospheric overflo..

FRENCH DYE MACHINE BIG HIT IN EUROPE.

The Alizee fabric dyeing machine is one of the few major technological developments from France's coloration industry in many years. The Alizee is a low liquor ratio machine that differs from other low liquor dyers because it uses blown air instead of water or mechanical transport to carry the fabric. Mathelin, one of the largest textile ..

HANDLING OF HYDROSULFITE IN TEXTILE DYEING

Hydrosulfite is a popular reducing agent for vat dyes in pad steam dyeing. The agent is normally supplied in a concentrated powder form which is dangerous, unstable, and requires very careful handling during preparation. Bran and Luebbe has developed a semi-automated system that increases both the safety and reproducibility in diluting th..

STRUCTURALLY DYED POLYESTERS MADE FROM STYRENE NITROXIDE.

Saturated polyester resins were synthesized by polycondensation in the presence of styrene nitroxide. These resins were then reduced and diazotized. An aromatic alcohol, or amine, was reacted with the diazo compound with structurally dyed polyesters as a result. These resins are used in the production of colored polyurethane foams. The pr..
