Fabric dyeing machine

Also called: dyeing machine, jet dyeing machine, winch dyeing machine, soft flow dyeing machine, sample dyeing machine

Step 4 of 7: Dyeing

A closed vessel where fabric circulates in hot dye liquor, driven by a jet of liquor or a turning winch, until the colour is even.

Fabric dyeing machine: how it works

  1. Fabric is loaded into a closed vessel as a long rope, and its two ends are sewn together to make a loop.
  2. The vessel is filled with water, and dyes and chemicals are added from a side tank.
  3. The fabric keeps circulating through the liquor, carried by a jet of liquor or lifted by a turning winch.
  4. Following a set programme, steam heats the liquor step by step to the dyeing temperature, holds it there, then cools it.
  5. The liquor is drained, and the fabric is rinsed, washed and unloaded for drying.

Main types

Winch dyeing machine
A turning reel lifts the fabric through an open bath. Gentle, for knitted fabric that is dyed below boiling.
Jet dyeing machine
A jet of liquor drives the fabric through a closed, pressurised vessel. Needed for polyester, which is dyed above boiling temperature.
Soft-flow (overflow) dyeing machine
The liquor flows gently along with the fabric instead of driving it hard. Common for cotton knits, with less stretch and surface damage.
Jigger
Woven fabric at full width passes back and forth between two rollers through a small bath.
Sample dyeing machine
A small laboratory machine for matching shades before bulk dyeing.

Where it fits in the process

Grey fabric comes in from knitting or weaving, and is usually scoured and bleached in the same machine first. Dyed fabric goes on to dewatering, drying and finishing, and the used water goes to the effluent treatment plant.

Common questions

How many types of dyeing machine are there?

For fabric the main types are winch, jet, soft-flow and jigger, with small sample machines for the laboratory. There are also machines for dyeing yarn in packages and for dyeing finished garments.

What is the difference between a jet and a winch dyeing machine?

A winch moves the fabric with a turning reel in an open bath and suits delicate knits. A jet moves it with a stream of liquor inside a closed vessel that can work under pressure, which polyester needs, and it generally uses less water.

What is the price of a fabric dyeing machine in Bangladesh?

We do not publish prices. The price depends on the type, the batch size, the working temperature and pressure, the automation and whether the machine is new or reconditioned. Send us the points listed above and we will quote.
