Dyrama: Tecnorama’s robotic dyeing module for small batches

With experience dating back to 1984 in the development of advanced solutions for dispensing and dyeing in the laboratory — perfected with the globally recognized and appreciated Dos&Dye® system — Tecnorama now introduces *Dyrama 4R*, a new series of automatic modules for “Just in Time” small batch dyeing. Available in three models – 4R/1000, 4R/2500, and 4R/6000 – these dyeing modules meet the growing demand for flexibility, precision, and productivity in the textile sector.

Extremely versatile in load modularity, the Dyrama systems support dyeing loads from 1 kg to 6 kg, depending on the model, and are suitable for dyeing yarns in packages, ribbons and zippers. Each module features four independent autoclaves, each with individual loading capacity, autonomous heating/cooling control, and programmable reversible circulation pumps for adjustable speed and flow.

At the heart of the system is an advanced robotic arm capable of transferring material holders from the parking area to the dyeing units and back, enabling continuous, round-the-clock operation, 24/7. This automation eliminates human error and delays, minimizes downtime, and optimizes production flow.

The process is managed by proprietary customized software that leverages Tecnorama’s decades of “right first time” expertise in dispensing and dyeing. It ensures consistent quality and accurate color reproduction from the very first batch – a key requirement for “Just in Time” solutions that involve frequent, varied production runs without compromising dyeing results.

Two particularly innovative applications stand out:

1. An exclusive Tecnorama patent for the automatic dyeing of zippers — a unique solution in the textile machinery landscape.

2. The ability to dye micro-batches of yarn — a strategic advantage for fashion houses that need rapid, customized sampling without compromising quality.

With Dyrama 4R, Tecnorama offers a highly advanced solution for small-batch dyeing: an automated, modular, and precise system that guarantees “right first time” results. It’s ideal for textile manufacturers focused on high quality, flexibility, and fast turnaround to meet market demands.

Key Competitive Advantages of the Dyrama 4R System:

1. Reduced corrections and re-dyeing thanks to precise dosing and dedicated software for dyeing process control.

2. Fast production times with quick batch changes and automated loading enabled by the robotic precision of the system.

3. Complete flexibility with the ability to manage 4 or 8 different dye baths simultaneously.

4. Energy efficiency, thanks to each autoclave’s thermal independence and the option for electric heating.

AATCC announces 2025 Herman & Myrtle Goldstein Graduate Student Paper Competition winners

The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) recognized the winners of the 2025 Herman & Myrtle Goldstein Graduate Student Paper Competition. Founded in 1982 to give student members the chance to conduct and present original research, the competition was renamed in 1994 in honor of Herman and Myrtle Goldstein, following their US$60,000 endowment. Their gift is a lasting remembrance of their dedication to young people in the textile industry.

MUNICH FABRIC START: Between Attitude and Sensuality

The future begins where we reimagine it. After seasons of restraint, Spring.Summer 27 marks a conscious counter-trend: optimism, sensuality, and creative freedom are replacing pragmatism and neutrality. Physical presence and individuality are regaining importance – as a response to uncertainty, exhaustion, and algorithmic predictability. The overarching theme of PLEASURE stands for fashion as an emotional space, as an expression of attitude and cultural reflection. Colours, surfaces, and materials become vehicles for self-confidence and joie de vivre.

organIQ seek: smart alternative to potassium permanganate

CHT Group announces new technical findings within its organIQ seek platform that significantly advance the transition toward permanganate-free denim bleaching. Through extensive industrial testing and application research, CHT confirms that organIQ seek can now be used with remarkable effectiveness as a substitute for potassium permanganate in spray bleach, while remaining aligned with sustainability expectations and cost realities in the European market. At the COLOMBIATEX in Medellín as well as at the Exintex in Puebla and the Kingpins Show in Amsterdam the CHT Group will present organIQ seek as an alternative to potassium permanganate.

PERFORMANCE DAYS: Focus topic shifts to the beginning of the value chain

Following the last Focus Topic in October 2025, which placed Textile-to-Textile Recycling at its core, PERFORMANCE DAYS continues to drive the conversation around circularity – this time with an expanded and more upstream perspective. The upcoming Focus Topic, “Textile to Textile: The Role of Collectors and Sorters,” presented during the spring edition on March 18–19, will spotlight one of the most essential yet often overlooked components of a functioning circular textile system: the efficient collection and sorting of post-consumer textiles.

Proven performance, optimised costs – the new RE 6 EL

Nowadays textile companies increasingly need to produce small production runs and respond to market changes with instantaneous pattern changes in order to operate profitably – meaning they require machines that offer maximum flexibility, reliability and cost efficiency. KARL MAYER understands the challenges of the market and is launching its new RE 6 EL. The Raschel machine offers the core strengths of the classic RSE 6 EL and essentially the same performance parameters, but has been further cost-optimised largely due to local production advantages. This makes the newcomer an efficiency champion in production, especially when it comes to frequent pattern changes.
