Hank Dyeing Machines
The Hank Dyeing/Cabinet Dyeing Machine is primarily used for dyeing acrylic or wool yarn. In this process, yarns are wound into loose coils, arranged in skeins or hanks, and hung over a bar before being immersed in the dye bath. The machine features a steam coil at the bottom, which heats the dye liquor during the dyeing process, ensuring even colour absorption and efficient dye penetration.
Typical issues include
- Higher energy consumption due to temperature overshoots, higher steam pressures and condensate evacuation issues.
- Productivity loss caused by longer batch times due to incorrect steam trap selection or group trapping
- Equipment downtime due to condensate accumulation in the heat exchanger
