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.

Precision jet dyeing moves towards industrial scale as Alchemie partners with Acatel

BTMA member Alchemie Technology, the pioneer of precision jet dyeing solutions based in Cambridge, UK, is partnering with Acatel, the Portuguese leader in sustainable textile manufacturing. The two companies will work together to validate and optimise Alchemie’s Endeavour system for knitted cellulosic fabrics.

Sustainable, lightweight, and sound absorbing: Polyester-based front trunk solution for BEVs

As car manufacturers look to further reduce their carbon footprint, Autoneum has developed an innovative front trunk solution for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), made entirely from polyester-based textile. The Ultra-Silent Frunk offers significant weight reduction, improved acoustic and thermal insulation, and uses up to 70 percent recycled material, supporting sustainable and efficient vehicle design. Autoneum, global technology leader in acoustic and thermal management for vehicles, has already received orders for the new frunk from three major OEMs in Asia and Europe to be built in three BEV models. Series production for two BEVs has been underway in China and Germany since last year.

Modern testing methods for raw cotton

The 38th International Cotton Conference Bremen will take place from 25 to 27 March 2026 at the Bremen Parliament. This conference has traditionally stood for in-depth expertise and international exchange. The program will focus on technical innovations, market trends, and regulatory frameworks across the entire value chain – from agriculture to the circular economy. With high-profile speakers, the conference is regarded as the key meeting point for the global cotton industry. Today’s focus: Cotton quality and testing methods.

Rieter responds to higher raw material prices

Global political and economic developments have been leading to rising raw material and energy costs for some time. The textile machinery industry is also affected by this trend. Rieter machines and components consist to a large extent of steel, copper, aluminum and electronics. These materials in particular have seen higher demand and higher prices in recent months.
