Paddle dyeing machines are generally used to dye many
forms of textiles but the method best suits to dye garments. Heat is
generated through steam injection directly into the dyebath. The machine
works like this, the paddle circulates both the bath and garments in a
perforated central island. It is here only that the chemicals, water and
steam for heat are added. The overhead paddle machine is nothing but a vat
with a paddle that has blades of full width. The blades generally takes a
dip of few centimeters into the vat. This action stirs the bath and pushes
the garments down, thus keeping them totally submerged in the dye liquor.
The process steps are:
- Chemical mixing
- Load preparation
- Pre-dyeing treatments
- Dyeing cycle
- Post-dyeing treatments
- Rinsing
- Unloading
- Liquor discharge
- Disposal
Paddle dyeing machine offers itself as a suitable dyeing
platform for all the types of piece goods. This typically includes rugs,
socks, bed spreads, and other types of garments and fabrics.
