Abstract

Basic principles of batch and continuous dyeing processes are described in terms of the equipment used to dye a variety of textile materials. Equipment and process are selected depending on the substrate type, fiber type, size of dye lot and quality requirements. Batch (or exhaust) dyeing equipment can be subdivided into three groups depending on whether the substrate, dyebath or both are circulated. Batch equipment described includes becks, jets, jigs, package dyeing machines, beams, skein dyeing machines, paddle machines, rotary drum machines and tumblers. Continuous dyeing equipment topics include continuous dyeing of polyester/cellulose blend materials and carpet and long chain dye ranges for warp dyeing.
