Introduction of Jigger Dyeing

Jigger dyeing, a method of fabric dyeing performed on a jigger. The fabric is wound up on one roll of the jigger and passed through the dye bath to the other roll. After rolling, repeat in reverse until the fabric is evenly dyed in the desired color. It is an intermittent production method, suitable for small batch production of many varieties. The basic working process is to repeatedly pass the fabric of a certain length and width through the dye solution of a certain concentration and temperature, and complete a certain number of reciprocations according to the process requirements, so that the dye can be colored on the fabric. Therefore, the process of jigger dyed products is simple.

​Structure and working principle

The working principle of the jigger is that two rollers with the same geometric size, including a fabric take-up roller and a cloth release roller, drive the fabric to reciprocate dyeing in the dye liquor tank until the process requirements are met. As the jigger progresses, the diameter of the fabric winding roller increases gradually, and the diameter of the cloth releasing roller decreases gradually. In order to achieve constant linear speed dyeing of fabrics, the rotational speed of the cloth winding roller is required to be gradually reduced, and the cloth winding roller is required to be steplessly adjusted.
The constant line speed adjustment of the fabric has experienced several speed regulation forms such as purely mechanical differential mechanism, hydraulic motor speed regulation, winding motor and DC motor. Although the DC motor has the advantages of large starting torque and wide speed range, it is easy to burn out the windings in the environment of high temperature and high humidity. Moreover, slip rings and electric brushes also need frequent maintenance, and the DC speed control system and computer interface are more troublesome, and it is also more difficult to realize automatic control.
According to the requirements of the jigger dyeing process, the jigger tension F of the fabric is constant. For this reason, the working feature of the jigger is that two identical motors C, D, through two identical gear boxes, drive A, B, two rollers with identical diameters. The fabric is dip-dyed in the dye vat by roller B through fabric guide rollers C and H, and then rolled onto roller A. At this time, motor C is in the motoring state, while motor D is in the dragging state. And ensure that the fabric maintains a certain tension F during the dyeing process. Running in the forward direction until all the fabrics are dyed onto roll A, the motor brakes, stops and reverses through the electric automatic control system. The fabric is then dip-dyed by roll A through the dyeing vat and then rolled onto roll B, and this cycle repeats until the requirements are met. The design of electrical automatic control system is carried out according to this process requirement.

Jigger dyeing process

1. Check the jigger fabric: Check the quality of the fabric, check the structure of the fabric, check the color of the fabric, check whether the fabric is stained, check the width and thickness of the fabric, and the dyeing requirements of the fabric.
2 Pretreatment: According to the quality and dyeing requirements of the fabric, adopt appropriate pretreatment process, such as soaking, alkali washing, chlorine washing, etc., to prepare the fabric for dyeing.
3. Jigger dyeing: put the pretreated fabric into the jigger, add dyes, and dye according to the dyeing requirements.
4. Printing and dyeing: Put the dyed fabric into the printing and dyeing machine, add printing and dyeing agent, and carry out printing and dyeing according to the dyeing requirements.
5. Finishing: Put the printed and dyed fabric into the finishing machine, add finishing agent, and finish according to the dyeing requirements.
6. Check and report: Check the dyeing effect, report the dyeing effect, and determine the dyeing quality.
There are some caveats to be aware of:
  • Chemicals: The dyes must be fully stirred and dissolved in the chemical tanks before they can be put into the machine tank, otherwise the cloth surface may have color lake stains
  • Temperature: It must be covered and kept warm to keep the temperature of the liquid above and below the liquid in the cylinder consistent.
  • Heating up: When adding steam to raise the temperature, the cloth roll cannot be operated, otherwise the temperature difference between front and back will cause color difference
  • Head and tail: Before operation, ensure that the temperature of the cloth rolling roller is not much different from the temperature under the liquid. In winter, it is necessary to prevent the cloth rolling roller from being too cold so that the cloth layer in contact with the rolling roller is cooled. Let it increase the temperature.

Combing Process in Spinning

Image
Before processing cotton, wool, and silk fibers into fabrics, the process of removing impurities and short fibers in the fibers with a combing machine is called combing. The texture, washability and durability of the fabric produced through this process are greatly improved compared with carded fabrics. The following introduces the composition of the combing machine and the combing process. The kinematic coordination relationship of the main parts on the combing machine is indicated by a dial. The disc is mounted on the combing machine and rotates synchronously with the cylinder, which is generally called the indexing disc. The index plate is divided into 40 equal parts along the circumference, and each equal part is 9°, which becomes one index. The working cycle refers to the time interval between the combing cylinder of the intermittent combing machine corresponding to the two actions of combing the whiskers. That is: the first row of needles in the combing cylinder goes to the botto

Twist Test Methods and Influencing Factors

Image
  Twist test is an important part of yarn inspection. It is related to the strength, elongation, appearance, style, etc. of yarns and fabrics. Different yarns have different structural characteristics, and their twist testing methods are also different. Basic concept To understand twist testing, you must first understand what twisting is. Twisting is a necessary condition for yarn formation. Short fibers can be made into yarns with certain physical and mechanical properties through twisting; filaments often need to be twisted in order to increase the tightness between single filaments, facilitate processing, and improve fabric properties. Number of twists Twisting is to cause two cross-sections of parallel straight fiber slivers to rotate relative to each other. The number of relative rotations of the two cross-sections is called the number of twists. Twist Twist refers to the number of twists per unit length of yarn . Twist coefficient In actual production, the twist coefficient is of

Garment Dyeing-Special Dyeing Method In Textile

Image
Garment dyeing is a relatively special dyeing process for textiles and garments. Many people may not know much about this dyeing process. In the impression of most people, textile and clothing products are dyed in the fabric period, and garment dyeing is a dyeing process that breaks people’s cognitive limitations on textile dyeing. ​What is garment dyeing ​Garment dyeing means that dyeing the one not in the fabric type but in the garment type itself. The garment type mentioned above include socks, towels, sportswear, shirts, plush toys (without fillers), T-shirts, pants, bathrobes, handkerchiefs, bath mats, carpets, scarves, etc. The material of these garments can be wool, linen, silk and cotton of natural fibers. But most garments are made of cotton or a cotton-rich blends. Garment dyeing imparts vibrant colors to garments. The clothes such as denim garments, tops, sportswear and casual clothing with garment dyeing can provide a distinctive special effect. Garment dyeing method Garmen
