How to Obtain the Most from Low Wash

Ciba and Gaston County Dyeing Machine Company tested the Gaston 824 dyeing machine with a low wash. The test dyed approximately 400 pounds of 100 percent cotton jersey fabrics with 1.56 percent Cibacron Orange C-G and 1.98 percent Cibacron Red C-2G in 3 hours and 37 minutes with 9.1 gallons of water per pound. Of the 9.1 gallons of water ..

Studies on Dyeing of Acrylic Fibers.

Retarding or leveling agents control the dyeing rate of acrylic fibers and allow dyers to obtain deep shades. The addition of aromatic hydroxy compounds improves the dyeability of acrylic fibers. Other methods of improving acrylic fiber dye uptake are cop

Gaston County : SuperTex + SOL Dyehouse Management System

Gaston County Dyeing Machine Company designed and manufactures the SuperTex + SOL Dyehouse Management System, which provides supervisory monitoring and control of production. The system generates information for both machine operators and control supervisors on machine status, work in process, schedule, and nonstandard conditions. Informa..

Real-Time Analysis and Control of Batch Dyeing Processes.

Researchers are attempting to control batch dyeing processes by monitoring and adjusting individual dye concentrations in the dyebath. They plan to develop a neural network system that interfaces with a spectrophotometer to perform all color matching, neural network training, and system maintenance and have filed a patent application for ..

Machines for Dyeing and Drying

Henriksen's new series of machines includes the Softset Combi dryer, which operates in batch or continuous mode. It features an online filter system that removes lint from the discharge air and returns hot clean air to the dryer, reducing energy consumption. The Vacu Jigger uses vacuum technology to rinse 300 kilograms of cotton in nine p..

pH AND BUFFER SYSTEMS IN DYEING

The control of pH in dyeing is accomplished by three fundamentally different techniques: maintenance of a relatively high degree of acidity or alkalinity; control of pH within narrow tolerances of the neutral region; and the gradual shifting of pH as dyeing proceeds. The first approach is the easiest to control. The second approach requir..

POSSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEMBRANE TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER IN TEXTILE DYEING

Ultrafiltration can be used ot reduce the amount of contaminants in wastewater from dyeing processes. Nano- or ultrafiltration can reduce the color content of wastewater from reactive dyeing to about 0.5 to 1.0 percent of the total volume. It is advantageous to separate the wastewater from dyeing processes into a high salt content stream ..

EFFECT OF SELECTED CONCENTRATIONS OF REACTIVE DYES ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF COTTON (GADA) FABRIC

Reactive dyes are popular due to their ease of application and to their brilliant shades. A number of reactive dyes, including Procions, Cibacrons, and Remazols, are available. The effects of several concentrations (0.5 percent, 1 percent, 1.5 percent, 2 percent, 2.5 percent, 3 percent, and 3.5 percent) of Procion Yellow M4G and Neoreacti..

ONLINE COLOR CONTROL IN TEXTILE DYEING PROCESSES.

The historic development of color measurement methods is reviewed. The objectives and advantages of online color control are noted. A basic online color control system is described. Topics discussed include problems associated with the design of an online remote color measuring spectrophotometer; the design of a new online remote color me..

ONLINE COLOR MEASUREMENT ON MULTICOLORED, MOVING TEXTILE SHEETS

The Research Institute for Textile Technology at Chemnitz has developed an automated measuring method for inspection of colors on fabrics, especially multicolored printed fabrics. The system measures color over moving lengths of fabric as either a lateral or longitudinal pattern. The principles of operation and design of this measuring de..
