EDITORIAL

It is always a pleasure to share AGS updates with every edition of Colour News.

There has been an upbeat atmosphere in the industry with the new government in power. The new government has a positive approach towards the manufacturing sector and also believes that the major thrust on job creation will be mostly through this sector only. It is also promoting new ventures and supporting the companies who want to expand. There is also an open invitation to International companies to set up their manufacturing units in India.

The Textile Minister has also got support, and has announced setting up of up to 25 Textile Parks in India. This should give a much needed boost not only to the textile or automobile or paint manufacturing industry but also for the overall development. A positive sentiment is seen in the market since the new government has taken over.

Discover the benefits of innovative techniques in bulk dyeing with Hang

Jie Yarn Dyeing Machines

In the last issue, we saw how the use

of laboratory dye stock solution

making and dispensing systems

provide accurate and recursive dyeing.

We had discussed how the dye

solution directly dispenses in dyepots,

thus eliminating human error and also

dependency on any lab individual. The

solution reduces time required for

recipe preparation and in turn

increases throughput of laboratory

working. In this issue, we shall

discuss yet another laboratory dyeing

machine which will provide �Right-

First-Time� for yarn dyeing in

production.

The Solution � Hang Jie Yarn Dyeing Machine

It has always been a matter of great

concern to every colorist to have a

meaningful correlation between the

dye produced in the laboratory and in

bulk. Simulation of bulk dyeing

conditions in the laboratory has been a

major cause of varying results.

Conventional production machinery

manufacturers, supply mini cheese

dyeing machines together with

production machines. These mini

machines are just replica

of the big machines having similar

controlling parameters. These

machines certainly simulate

Taiwan based Hang Jie Xing Yie Co. Ltd., has filled this

technological gap by introducing their unique high

precision and state-of-the-art laboratory exhaust dyeing

machines. These dyeing machines are based on unique

and innovative technique called �Magnetic Levitated Vortex

Laboratory Dyeing�. It simulates bulk dyeing conditions in

laboratory thus ensuring integrity of laboratory dyeing,

which avoids any scaling and manual adjustment of

laboratory recipe. This certainly makes the �Right-First-

Time� dyeing in the plant, a reality.

The biggest advantage of this machine is that one can dye

5 gms to 200 gms of yarn, a sample dyeing in true sense.

At the same time if one needs 1.0 kg of dyed yarn sample,

one can also have such an option. Secondly, the yarn is

wound on a bobbin and not on a lose hank. Another very

important feature of the dyeing machine is that each

dyepot is an independent dyeing machine in itself � that is

each can be programmed for different dye cycle with

independent heating system. in short, one can dye cotton,

polyester, wool, nylon etc. in the same time in different

dyepots. One doesn�t need to have separate batches for

each fibre.

7

Hang Jie laboratory yarn dyeing machine does not involve

any pump for liquor circulation, but generates similar �in-

out� of dye liquor movement as being done in a production

machine by Magnetic Levitation. Absence of water pump

makes it maintenance-free with less service calls.

production conditions in the lab.

However, these are not only very

expensive (though the manufacturers

bundle with production machines), but

also require at least 1 kg of yarn for

trial sample dyeing. If a dyer has to

prepare multiple samples, the

wastages or left over cones increase

the problem for the dyers. Implying a

gap which solves the problem of

sample dyeing and also reduces

wastages.

� HJ8100L is ideal for dyeing 100gms

� HJ8200L can dye samples weighing 100-200 gms

The machines works with M: L - 1:5 and above at dyeing temperature conditions of 25° C to 150° C. The rate of heating can be maximum 5° C/minute and is controlled.

The Magnetic levitation helps in the circulation of liquor from inside-out and outside in. The duration of the circulation is controlled and pre-programmed. One of the main advantages of the machine is that the dyeing conditions in the each dye pot can be individually programmed separately through micro-processor control. This enables a user to carry out dyeing with different dye classes under different dyeing conditions and on different substrates in the same bath and at the same time.

The colour difference within dyeing of all dyepots is less than 0.5 dECIELAB. There are 100 dyeing programs available for each dyepot separately and for complete set as well which are programed in 30 steps.

Dosing of chemicals and auxiliaries is done by following methods:-

� Direct

� Through a cup kept at the top of the

each dye pot

� Pressure dosing. Progressive dosing

also possible and conditions thereof

can be preset through controller

(Optional)

� Dosing Pump (Optional)

COVER STORY

In addition to dyeing machines,

the other supplementary (or

complementary) machines help the

user to carry out from winding of yarn

on bobbin to cleaning or hydro-

extracting to drying of dyed bobbins �

ready for making sample if required.

In fact all these machines are integral

part of �The yarn dyeing system�.

Winding Machine

High precision laboratory winding

machines which are microprocessor

controlled for adjusting Yarn Tension,

Speed of winding, Tension Angle,

Density, Traverse and Weight.

Through microprocessor controller it

is possible to have even winding

tension through the cheese. These

machines have 7 programs with

two/three steps each.  It is suitable for

all types of substrates e.g. yarn

including Lycra, texturized yarn,

zippers, woven fabric etc. Yarn is

wound by weight and the weigh scale

is integral part of the machine.

Cleaning Machine

After dyeing, each cheese or bobbin

can be cleaned with the help

of mixture of high pressure Air and

9

Winding Machine

Cleaning Machine

Drying Machine

Laboratory Dyeing Machine

Water from Inside-out. The cleaning

process just takes a few minutes &

removes all superfluous dye particles.

It is also programmable. User can

the define the cycle time of air and

water flow.

Drying Machine

Drying of laboratory dyed samples is

carried out by circulation of hot air

inside � out. The machine is equipped

with High pressure fan, long life

heater. The hot air at 90° C is used to

dry the dyed sample or user can select

the temperature suitable / required

based on the yarn being dried.

HJ yarn dyeing machines are semi-

automatic and are often compared

against fully automatic or robotic

machines. The major advantages of

these machines over the robotic

dyeing machines are:

Higher throughput as compared to

robotic system. In robotic systems,

the batch time is too large and one

cannot take more than 1½ to

2 batches in 24-hour shift. While in

HJ systems, one can take as many

as 4 batches in 24 hours.

No stoppage in work if any pot

malfunctions. In the robotic

systems, if any part of the machine

malfunctions, the entire operation

comes to a standstill and service is

not so easy. It requires highly skilled

and trained service engineers. In HJ

system, if one pot is not working, one

can carry out dyeing in the remaining

pots or if any machine is not

working, say drying or cleaning

machines, the work will not get

held up.

One can carry out mix-match yarn

dyed samples (50 gms) which is

enough for making a desk-loom

fabric or a woven piece using

sampling loom.

As the drying and cleaning are

carried out in separate machine,

there is no blocking of machine

time or any operation, while in

robotic machines everything is

carried out in the same pot and

hence it increases the batch time.

The only advantage of robotic

dyeing machines is once the batch

is defined, the operator or user�s

attention is not required. However

here, if either yarn package or dye

bottle is not in place, the machine

will keep searching it and does not

proceed. In case of semi-automatic

HJ machines, presence of operator

is required.

Concluding Remarks

Hang Jie yarn dye machine is perfect

to simulate the production conditions.

These are fast and controlled thereby

increasing the throughput of the

machines. With the ability to dye each

dyepot separately, the machine can

dye different fibre yarn samples of

different colours with a sample

quantity as small as 5 gms (net saving

of yarn, water, energy, dyes,

chemicals and pollution treatment).

The weighed yarn is dyed in a bobbin

form via a winding machine for

accurate weight and desired tension,

shape of bobbin and density of bobbin

which gives uniform dyeing and there

is no wastage.

The Hang Jie yarn dye machine by

simulating the production like

conditions using small quantity of dye,

helps save yarn, dye and chemicals.

Also, it helps in maximising the

returns by more batches in a 24hr

shift. The machine is truly a boon for

the textile industry by bridging the gap

for cost effective sample dyeing.

10

AGS so far has 60 satisfied customers

for Hang Jie dyeing machines and

most of them have already opted to

use more of Hang Jie machines.

Hang Jie dyeing machines have an

edge over conventional cheese

dyeing machines

One must dye at least 1 kg yarn

in conventional dyeing machine;

wastage of dyed yarn sample is

avoided in HJ machines. Larger

the sample more quantity of

water/chemical and dye is being

used which ultimately adds to the

load of pollution treatment.

The number of samples which can

be carried out in the conventional

machine is restricted. While in HJ

machines, one can dye batches of

5.0 gms to 200 gms in 4 �18 dyepots

depending on the machine model.

In conventional 1 kg dyeing machine

unless the batch is finished user has

to wait to start another dyeing as

there is no option.

Due to uncontrolled tension in

winding, there is uneven dyeing

throughout the cheese and one can

observe colour difference in different

layers and one has to remove and

discard substantial quantity before

getting even & desired sample.

COMPANY PROFILE

With almost 100% market share in mixing

systems, FTIL and AGS leads the automotive

refinishing business in India

The machine is a rack with maximum 7 shelves. Each shelf accommodates ready paint cans, mostly in two sizes – one litre or 3.5/4.0 litres. The rack is available 3 different models depending on length, 1.0 meter, 1.5 meters or 2.2 meters. Depending on the size, each shelf can have a number of paint cans, for example one meter shelf can accommodate 8 cans or 1.5 meter can have 12 cans or 2.2 meter shelf will have 18 cans. The most critical feature of the system is the lid of the can which is usually customised depending on paint can size.

Fillon Technology India Ltd. is a joint venture of Fillon Technologies, France and AGS, the leader in the automotive refinishing business in India. Their main product range includes Mixing machines and IR Dryers which are used in Automotive Refinishing. The Automotive Refinishing business almost equals OE car paint business and most OE paint suppliers are into refinishing. The major players in the segment include AkzoNobel, BASF, PPG-Asian Paints, Kansai Nerolac, Esdee Paints etc. FTIL holds almost 100% market share of mixing systems. Like retail paint dispenser business, FTIL supplies mixing machines to the paint companies which in turn distributes to the body work shops or garages or even to dealers.

The lid is designed on the patented FT technology. The lid has an agitator which scraps the side of a can and does not allow paint to stick on side wall; secondly, it reaches right up to the bottom of the can, so prevents any settling of paint. The lid so fits on the can that there is practically no evaporation of paint, thus maintains its strength and other properties over a long time. FT claims that the evaporation is less than 3% after 30 days. There is special handle and opening for the lid. Once put on shelf, the agitation starts. One can easily remove the can from the shelf and put it back after use. There is a single motor which drives agitation for all cans.

The formulations are provided by the paint companies for car colours. There is a huge library of shades of car colours. Many car manufacturers built these libraries over a period of time. These also include formulations with ageing effect for a car colour. The shade is prepared gravimetrically. A weighing scale is also provided by FTIL. The body shop or a garage can make as small volume of paint as 100 gms. for touch up. This avoids wastage of expensive paint and also saves cost for a customer. FTIL & AGS enjoy almost 100% market share for mixing machines.
