Imogo’s Dye-Max system promises to eliminate the consumption of fresh process water, waste water, energy and chemicals by as much as 90 per cent compared to conventional jet dyeing systems.
The Dye-Max has a working speed of up to 50m/min with the practical speed determined by the fabric weight and application volume. Its application unit consists of a closed chamber containing a series of spray cassettes with precision nozzles for accurate and consistent coverage in combination with the patented Imogo pro speed valve that controls the volume to be applied. The chamber is equipped with an exhaust system and droplet separator to ensure that the environment around the unit is free from particles. The spray cassettes are a key part in the Dye-Max line. There is one set of spray cassettes for each of the three separate dye dispersion feed lines and they can be easily exchanged without the need for tools in less than a minute. This allows for extremely fast changeovers between different colors without the need for cleaning. And because the spray cassettes are removable, all maintenance can be performed off line. After applying the dye dispersion the fabric is rolled onto a shaft and moved to the autoclave for deep dye fixation via heat and pressure.
