 INTRODUCTION
Jet dye machine is the most modern
machine used for dyeing of polyester
using disperse dye.
It is similar to winch dyeing and fabric
is processed in continuous loop.
The technique is especially useful for
delicate polyester fabrics but depending
on the machine almost any weight,
structure, or fabric type can be used.
It was found that in using Winch machines,
there were some inherent problems. So the
Jet dyeing machines when they came up in
the 1970's, were specifically designed to
overcome those shortcomings.

In this machine the dye tank contains disperse

dye, dispersing agent, leveling agent and
acetic acid. Fabric may be jet dyed by placing
it in a heated tube or column where jets of
dye solution are forced through it at
pressure up to 300 pounds per jet.
 DYEING PROCESS
In the Jet dyeing machine the reel is completely
eliminated. A closed tubular system exists where the
fabric is placed. For transporting the fabric through the
tube a jet of dye liquor is supplied through a venturi.
The Jet creates turbulence. This helps in dye penetration
along with preventing the fabric from touching the walls
of the tube. As the fabric is often exposed to
comparatively higher concentrations of liquor within the
transport tube, so little dye bath is needed in the bottom
of the vessel. This is just enough for the smooth
movement from rear to front. Aqueous jet dyeing
machines generally employs a driven winch reel along
with a jet nozzle.

 MACHINERY PROCESS
The solution is filled in the dye tank and it
reaches the heat exchanger where solution can be
heated which then pass onto the centrifugal pump
and then to the filter chamber.
The solution will be filtered and reaches the
tubular chamber. Here the material to dye will be
loaded and the winch is rotated so that the
material is also rotated.
Again the dye liquor reaches the heat exchanger
and operation is repeated for 20-30 minute at
135C.
Then dye bath is cooled down, after material is
taken out.
SPECIAL FEATURES AND APPLICATION

This machine can be operated at high

temperature and pressure .
This system operate at low liquor ratio (ratio
of mass of dye bath to mass of fabric in
dyeing machine) so, this operation consume
less water and chemical.
Frequent movement of fabric round the jet
through the machine reduces the tendency of
crease formations.
 TYPES OF JET DYEING MACHINE

After incest fating the dyeing results under

different conditions such as development of new
fiber blends, different construction fabrics,
interaction position of jet, quantity of the dye
liquor to be present in around the fabric and the
type of impact of the dye liquor on the fabric in
the jet area.
Some Jet dye machines are as follows:

Overflow Dyeing Machine

Soft-flow Dyeing Machine
Airflow Dyeing Machine
ADVANTAGES OF JET DYEING MACHINE

Dyeing time is short compare to beam dyeing

Production is high compare to beam dyeing
machine.
Low consumption of water.
Short dyeing time.
Can be easily operated at high temperatures
and pressure.
Comparatively low liquor ratios, typically
ranges between 1:4 and 1:20.
Fabrics are handled carefully and gently.
DISADVANTAGES OF JET DYEING MACHINE

Cloth is dyed in rope form so there is a

risk of entanglement and chance for
crease formation.
Equipment and maintenance costs are
high, foaming can be a problem, and
some fabric may be abraded in the
process.
Chance for crease formation.
LIMITATIONS OF JET DYEING MACHINE

High initial investment and maintenance

cost.
Limited accessibility during the dyeing
process.
Foam forming substance is to be avoided.
Any roughness of the inside surface cause
damage to cloth.
In case cloth breakage, re-threading is
complicated.
