Taiwanese manufacturer of dyeing and finishing machinery Acme Machinery Industry has recently launched what it calls a worldwide patented revolutionary innovation in the form of a dyeing machine that not only saves water but also reduces energy by 65% whilst decreasing the amount of chemicals used in the dyeing process.
After many years of research and development, Acme says it has launched very successfully the AM-ICD Intelligent Conveyer Drive High Pressure Constant Speed Dyeing Machine. The company explains that it has developed the concept of forwarding fabrics by mechanical force rather than water in the dyeing process. The AM-ICD Intelligent Conveyer Drive High Pressure Constant Speed Dyeing Machine. The machine is equipped with a conveyer drive system used to forward the fabric so there is only the need for water for pipe circulation and fabric pick up. Accordingly, the company says, it achieves an extremely low liquor ratio of 1:2.5 – 3.5 dependent on the fabric type being processed. The method is said to save 65% of chemicals and energy used and effluent is also reduced by 65%.
