Different Dyeing Methods for Textile Dyeing

Posted on by

Textile dyeing, which is color applied to fabric by different methods of dyeing for different types of fiber and at different stages of the textile production process. Dyeing can be done during any stage in the textile manufacturing process. Textiles may be dyed as fiber, yarn, fabric, or garments, depending upon the type of the fabric or garment being produced.

 

These methods include:

 

  1. Direct Dyeing

When a dye is applied directly to the fabric without the aid of an affixing agent, it is called direct dyeing. In this method the dyestuff is either fermented (for natural dye) or chemically reduced (for synthetic vat and sulfur dyes) before being applied. The direct dyes, which are largely used for dyeing cotton, are water soluble and can be applied directly to the fiber from an aqueous solution. Most other classes of synthetic dye, other than vat and sulfur dyes, are also applied in this way.

 

  1. Stock Dyeing

Stock dyeing refers to the dyeing of the fibers, or stock, before it is spun in to yarn. It is done by putting loose, unspun fibers in to large vats containing the dye bath, which is then heated to the appropriate temperature required for the dye application and dyeing process.

 

Stock dyeing is usually suitable for woolen materials when heather like color effects are desired. Wool fiber dyed black, for example, might be blended and spun with un-dyed (white) wool fiber to produce soft heather like shade of grey yarn.

 

Tweed fabrics with heather like color effects such as Harris Tweed are examples of stock dyed material. Other examples include heather like colors in covert and woolen cheviot.

 

  1. Top Dyeing

Top dyeing is also the dyeing of the fiber before it is spun in to yarn and serves the same purpose as stock dyeing – that is, to produce soft, heather like color effects. The term top refers to the fibers of wool from which the short fibers have been removed. Top is thus selecting long fibers that are used to spin worsted yarn. The top in the form of sliver is dyed and then blended with other colors of dyed top to produce desired heather shades.

 

  1. Yarn Dyeing

Yarn dyeing is the dyeing of the yarns before they have been woven or knitted into fabrics. Yarn dyeing is used to create interesting checks, stripes and plaids with different-colored yarns in the weaving process. In yarn dyeing, dyestuff penetrates the fibers in the core of the yarn.

 

There are many forms of yarn dyeing:

  • Skein (Hank) Dyeing
  • Package Dyeing
  • Warp-beam Dyeing
  • Space Dyeing

 

  1. Skein (Hank) Dyeing

Skein dyeing consists of immersing large, loosely wound hanks (skeins) of yarn into dye vats that are especially designed for this purpose. Soft, lofty yarns, such as hand knitted yarns are usually skein dyed. Skein dyeing is the most costly yarn-dye method.

 

  1. Package Dyeing

In package dyeing the yarn is wound on a small perforated spool or tube called a package. Many spools fit into the dyeing machine in which the flow of the dye bath alternates from the center to the outside, and then from the outside to the center of the package. Package dyed yarns do not retain the softness and loftiness that skein-dyed yarns do. They are however satisfactory and very widely used for most types of yarns that are found in knitted and woven fabrics.

 

  1. Warp Beam Dyeing

Beam dyeing is the much larger version of package dyeing. An entire warp beam is wound on to a perforated cylinder, which is then placed in the beam dyeing machine, where the flow of the dye bath alternate as in the package dyeing. Beam dyeing is more economical than skein or package dyeing, but it is only used in the manufacture of woven fabrics where an entire warp beam is dyed. Knitted fabrics, which are mostly produced from the cones of the yarn, are not adaptable to beam dyeing.

 

  1. Piece Dyeing

The dyeing of cloth after it is being woven or knitted is known as piece dyeing. It is the most common method of dyeing used. The various methods used for this type of dyeing include jet dyeing. Jig dyeing, pad dyeing and beam dyeing.

 

  1. Garment Dyeing

Garment dyeing is the dyeing of the completed garments. The types of apparel that can be dyed are mostly non-tailored and simpler forms, such as sweaters, sweatshirts, T-shirts, hosiery, and pantyhose. The effect on sizing, thread, zippers, trims and snaps must be considered. Tailored items, such as suits or dresses, cannot be dyed as garments because the difference in shrinkage of the various components and linings distort and misshapen the article.

 

Garment dyeing is done by placing a suitable number of garments (usually about 24 sweaters or the equivalent, depending on the weight) into large nylon net bag. The garments are loosely packed. From 10 to 50 of the bags are placed in large tubs containing the dye bath and kept agitated by a motor – driven paddle in the dye tub. The machine is appropriately called a paddle dryer.

 

Of these Direct dyeing and Yarn Dyeing methods are the most popular ones.

Why to Use a Gearbox and How to Select It?

Posted on by

With the many industrial gearboxes available today, it’s important to match the proper type of gearbox with the drive, motor, and load. When a machine needs a servo system (drive and motor), the gearbox type is critical for accurate and repeatable motion.

 

Why use a gearbox?

 

Servomotors often drive loads directly without the need for a gearbox, but in many applications it’s advantageous to use a gearbox between the motor and load.

 

One main reason to use a gearbox is torque multiplication. It lets designers use smaller servo systems that consume less energy. Instead of buying relatively large servo drives and motors, designer can use smaller components, saving space and money.

 

Output torque increases in direct proportion to the gear ratio, and top speed of the output shaft decreases. If an application can withstand the reduced speed, a relatively small servo system can supply high torque.

 

Gearboxes can also address inertia mismatches. For high performance servo systems — those with high dynamic responses or low overshoot, for example – the ratio between the reflected load inertia and motor inertia should be as low as practical, ideally under ten-to-one. A precision gearbox reduces the reflected inertia by the square of the reduction ratio. For instance, using a 25:1 gearbox reduces the load’s reflected inertia by a factor of 625, a significant improvement.

 

In some cases, gearboxes simply resolve issues relating to mechanical fit. For example, if directly mounting the motor interferes with another mechanical component, a right-angle gearbox may solve the problem.

 

Compared to most other gear reducers, a precision gearbox provides better accuracy and repeatability. Furthermore, the gearbox’s high efficiency lets it deliver maximum power available from the servo system—features often a necessity in servo applications.

 

Selecting Gearboxes and Servo Systems

 

A servo system coupled with a planetary gearbox is expected to provide precise motion, but this requires all components be carefully matched. Although it’s possible to buy the servo drive, motor, and gearbox from different suppliers, it’s not recommended as this requires a great deal of research and comparison to ensure all components will work together. Purchasing components from a single supplier — especially one that has carefully matched the components and will stand behind the specific combination of parts in question—offers several advantages.

 

The supplier has done all the research and confirms compatibility. Most suppliers will extend a more favorable warranty on such purchases. Plus, they can provide the approved mounting hardware to connect the components.

 

Some suppliers provide online tools for selecting servo systems and compatible gearboxes, easing the specification effort. These selection guides aid the design and provide specific recommendations for closely matched components that can be purchased as a system. In these cases, engineers can be certain the systems they specify are compatible in all critical areas, and that the components will come with the required mounting bushings and keys.

 

In fact, some selector tools let designers enter their torque and speed requirements, and then automatically filter a list of available motor-and-gearbox sets. Engineers can enter torque data in metric or imperial values, or the designer can select a particular servomotor size. Designers enter speed data as discrete values, or pick a gear ratio. Finally, the engineer can choose a preferred physical orientation—inline, right-angle gearing, or both.

 

The resulting list of available systems includes pricing information, a factor often critical to the selection process. After choosing a motor/gear combination, the designer moves to a page with full specifications for the selected servo system, the gearbox, and the combination.

 

One caveat: Even though a selector can make the specifying process easier, engineers and designers should always verify that a system meets their needs and gets applied correctly.

 

Accumulated many years of experiences in the mechanical transmission and high-quality manufacturing technology, Jia Cheng Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. was established a professional gearbox production and sales company. “Quality First, Customer Satisfaction First” is the company’s philosophy to continuously improve its production processes, timely and efficiently to provide customers with satisfied services.

What is Die Sinking?

Posted on by

Die sinking is a process used to machine or create a specific size or shape cavity or opening in steel blocks. The openings in the steel blocks can then be used to mold plastic into different shapes. Such openings may also be used when doing forging, either hot or cold, or for coining or die-casting.

 

Most often, die sinking is used to place names, numbers, and other sources of information onto metal. It can also be used to place such elements on a piece of wood, leather, or many other materials. The process for die sinking is fairly simple and something that anyone can do with a few simple tools. There are also larger machines that can help with the process, but these machines come with a price tag.

 

The process of die sinking begins by obtaining a piece of sheet metal and cutting out a shape. For instance, the shape may be a shield or name tag. When doing the process of die sinking, it is important to use a piece of sheet metal for the project that is at least 1/64 of an inch (0.4 mm) thick.

 

Once the shape has been placed on the piece of sheet metal, it will need to be cut out. To do this, a chisel and hammer or otherwise special piece of equipment for cutting sheet metal is used. Once the piece has been cut out, it is necessary to file the rough edges down.

 

After the shape has been completely cut out, next begins the process of die sinking to add letters and numbers. An outline must be created containing the information intended to put on the piece letter by letter. This outline can be created with a soft leaded pencil and using a group of 1/8 inch (3.17 mm) steel lettering.

 

Once all the lettering has been applied, it is necessary to sit the steel lettering on top of each of the outlined letters and then pound the letter down into the metal with a hammer. This process will create an indentation in the metal. This process is continued until all the lettering, numbers, and other designs are completed.

 

When done, the process should have created a piece where the indentation of the metal is personalized. It is possible to enhance the lettering by filling the indentations with some type of colored polymer. This permits the indentation to stand out against the metal.

How to Select the Right Plastic Pelletizing Machine

Posted on by

Pellets may be “only” an intermediate product, but their size, shape, and consistency matter in subsequent processing operations.

 

This becomes even more important when considering the ever-increasing demands placed on compounders. No matter what equipment they currently have, it never seems suited for the next challenge. An increasing number of products may require additional capacity. A new polymer or additive may be too tough, soft, or corrosive for the existing equipment. Or perhaps the job requires a different pellet shape. In such cases, compounders need in-depth engineering know-how on processing, and close cooperation with their plastic pelletizing machines supplier.

 

The first step in meeting such challenges begins with equipment selection. The most common classification of pelletizing processes involves two categories, differentiated by the state of the plastic material at the time it’s cut:

 

  • Melt pelletizing (hot cut):

Melt coming from a die that is almost immediately cut into pellets that are conveyed and cooled by liquid or gas.

 

  • Strand pelletizing (cold cut):

Melt coming from a die head is converted into strands that are cut into pellets after cooling and solidification.

 

Variations of these basic processes may be tailored to the specific input material and product properties in sophisticated compound production. In both cases, intermediate process steps and different degrees of automation can be incorporated at any stage of the process.

 

To find the best solution for your production requirements, start with assessing the status quo, as well as defining future needs. Develop a five-year projection of materials and required capacities. Short-term solutions very often prove to be more expensive and less satisfactory after a period of time. Though almost every plastic pelletizing line at a compounder will have to process a variety of products, any given system can be optimized only for a small range of the entire product portfolio.

 

Consequently, all the other products will have to be processed under compromise conditions.

 

The lot size, in combination with the nominal system capacity, will have a very strong impact on the pelletizing process and machinery selection. Since compounding production lots tend to be rather small, the flexibility of the equipment is often a big issue. Factors include easy access for cleaning and service and the ability to simply and quickly move from one product to the next. Start-up and shutdown of the pelletizing system should involve minimum waste of material.

 

A line utilizing a simple water bath for strand cooling often is the first option for compounding plants. However, the individual layout can vary significantly, due to the demands of throughput, flexibility, and degree of system integration. In strand pelletizing, polymer strands exit the die head and are transported through a water bath and cooled. After the strands leave the water bath, the residual water is wiped from the surface by means of a suction air knife. The dried and solidified strands are transported to the plastic pelletizing machine, being pulled into the cutting chamber by the feed section at a constant line speed. In the pelletizer, strands are cut between a rotor and a bed knife into roughly cylindrical pellets. These can be subjected to post-treatment like classifying, additional cooling, and drying, plus conveying.

 

If the requirement is for continuous compounding, where fewer product changes are involved and capacities are relatively high, automation may be advantageous for reducing costs while increasing quality. Such an automatic strand pelletizing line may utilize a self-stranding variation of this type of pelletizer. This is characterized by a cooling water slide and perforated conveyor belt that replace the cooling trough and evaporation line and provide automatic transportation into the plastic pelletizing machine.

 

Some polymer compounds are quite fragile and break easily. Other compounds, or some of their ingredients, may be very sensitive to moisture. For such materials, the belt-conveyor strand pelletizer is the best answer. A perforated conveyor belt takes the strands from the die and conveys them smoothly to the cutter. Various options of cooling—water spray, misters, compressed-air Venturi dies, air fan, or combinations thereof—allow for a good deal of flexibility.

The Secrets of Canning Machines

Posted on by

Canned foods are something that almost no one is willing to live without. Ever since the manufacturing of canned foods began in the late 1800’s, people have been relying on them as a way to keep vegetables and fruits for longer periods of time. The invention of the canning machine helped revolutionize this idea making canned foods available on a large scale.

 

Canning machines took traditional canning from the kitchen to the factory. Instead of using glass canning jars, canning machines typically used aluminum or metal cans to can food for lasting freshness. They are made to withstand canning multiple cans throughout the day without the user having to stop the process to add water to a canning pot. Instead, this machine and others each carry out a process similar to the processors completed within a pressure canning pot.

 

Canning machines work in stages with each stage corresponding to a step that is carried out within a canning pot. There is a part of the machine that fills the can while another part of the machine seals a can. Afterwards, another part of the canning machine uses heat and pressure to force excess air from the cans prior to a permanent seal being applied to the cans.

 

There are 3 specific pieces that belong to the canning machine. They are:

 

  • The Seamer
  • The Filler
  • The Labeler

 

There are various types of canning machines available on the market today. The type of machine that you buy depends are different factors; amount to be canned, size of the cans, type of food being canned. Although there are some canning machines that can produce canned foods in a variety of sizes, these are more expensive and more prone to breaking down. This is usually the result of canning a variety of sizes throughout the day.

 

Because they are put under stress and force every day, canning machines tend to be made of reinforced steel making them extremely heavy. This also helps in supporting the machine by providing structural strength that can be used on a long term basis.

 

Not all canning machines only use metal cans, and there are some using glass jars as well. These machines are made especially for working with glass and shouldn’t be used with metal cans.

 

Most canning machines are controlled by computers; however, there those which are operated by 2 or more people. These canning machine operators are in control of each aspect of the machine. Training on these machines can take up to 6 months depending on how much time a company is willing to spend on training.

 

Canning machines can be bought by companies and by individuals. However, they are generally more practical for use in a factory setting because of the size and weight. The average canning machine weighs in excess of 300 pounds. There are also better suited for a factory because of the speed of output which increases profit while lowering cost.

 

SHIN I Machinery Works Co., Ltd. is a high quality Food Canning Machines manufacturer in the industry. In food canning machines series, we provide automatic seamer and automatic filler for customers.

Types of Lathe Machines

 

Engine lathes: they are the most common and they are used in different types of materials. Their main parts are: tailstock, headstock and bed. To accommodate a wide scope of work, the lathes came with a feature that allows you to easily adjust their speed. They also come in different sizes to be used in a wide range of applications.

 

Wood lathe: this is the simplest lathe machine that you will come across. As its name suggests, it’s designed for turning wood. Its main parts are: headstock, bed, tailstock, and tool rest. You need to note that you need special skills in order to accurately turn smooth curves.

 

Turret lathes: they are used for applying different types of operations on single work pieces. In addition to ensuring that you have excellent turns, they also ensure that you are able to work very fast as you don’t waste time removing and transferring the work piece to another machine.

 

Toolroom lathe: it’s a type of engine lathe that is designed for high precision work. The machine is usually used in tool and dies shops where custom parts and precision fixtures are produced.

 

Since it’s produced with special attention to smooth operation, spindle accuracy and precise alignment, the lathe is able to achieve better accuracy and precision than the standard lathe.

 

CNC lathe: its computer controlled and comes with a number of advantages such as powered axis drives, high speed repeatability, and feedback control. To use the lathe you only need to set it. The cool thing with it is that you don’t need special tools to achieve excellently curved contours.

 

Special duty lathes: they are used for special purposes such as heavy-duty production of identical parts. In most cases, the lathes are used to perform functions that can’t be performed by standard lathes. There are many types of these lathes with the common ones being: automatic, crankshaft, multispindle, brakedrum, and jeweler’s lathes.

Investing In 5 Axis CNC Machining Center

Posted on by

Is It Really Worthwhile Investing In 5 Axis CNC Machining?

 

It wasn’t too long ago when metal fabricators and manufacturers were wondering why they should switch to CNC machining from the manual mills that they were already using. Today, when it comes to investing in 5 axis machining center technologies, the situation is quite similar. Many have been left behind simply due to the fact that they did not switch to CNC soon enough. When it comes to competing effectively and staying a top, it is a must for businesses to invest in the latest technologies.

 

The term “5-axis” machining may often confuse some people not familiar with this concept. Many manufacturers and shopkeepers think that they do not have the work load that would require the use of this type of process. Considering the fact that 5-sided machining can be facilitated with 5 axis machining centers, there is plenty of ways in which using a 5-axis CNC machine can prove to be beneficial. This means that even if there is no simultaneous 5-axis work, more profits can be earned if parts currently being produced using 3-axis machines are produced on a 5 axis machining center through 5-sided machining.

 

Why Is 5-Axis CNC Machining A Better Choice?

 

With 3-axis machines, multiple setups are required for each side of the part, setup time increases and accuracy decreases. On the other hand, when it comes to 5-axis CNC machining, setup time for the production of parts is reduced, accuracy is increased, and shop capability is also expanded for future work.

 

Is Simultaneous 5-Axis CNC Machining Is Even Better?

 

Yes, Simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining has its pros as well as its cons, but it is somewhat in certain aspects. For instance, if 5-sided machining never fails to impress, simultaneous 5-axis machining happens to be much faster. If a part can really be created with 5-sided machining rather than simultaneous 5-axis machining, then there is no harm in using it. However, both have their own pros. The benefits of 5-sided machining include the fact that it cuts fast enough, it can be programmed easily, its roughing strategy is remarkable, and generally, there are barely any issues involving tool interference. Similarly, what makes simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining beneficial is that the surface finish tends to be much better, the tool is enabled to reach difficult places seamlessly, and the tool life tends to be longer.

 

Mold Work

 

One example where you should definitely consider the use of a simultaneous 5 axis CNC machining center would be mold work, based on the mold. There tends to be limitations if 3-axis machining is used to manufacture the mold, especially when it comes to core molds that tend to be taller or the deep cavity molds.

 

Although a 3-axis CNC machining center can be used for mold work, if the work involves a deep-cavity mold, it becomes essentially to use long and skinny tools. While using these long and skinny tools, the feed rates have to be slowed down so that chatter is minimized and tool breakage is prevented. Often, the quality required quality of surface finish can be achieved when 3-axis machining is used for mold work. For fine finishing operations, particularly when it comes to small molds with a small diameter, the process can become more difficult than necessary if 3-axis machining is used.

 

When it comes to simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining, shorter and stouter tools can be used, as a result of which pushing faster with greater feed rates becomes possible. If simultaneous 5-axis machining is used for mold work, then heavier cuts can be taken and z-depths do not turn out to become a problem. As a result of all of this, the time frame in using the machine is also drastically reduced.
