New Thies iMaster for dyeing heavy pile fabrics

The Thies iMaster dyeing machine (c) 2013 Thies Textilmaschinen
A new iMaster F Series of dyeing machines, offering economic operation and low liquor levels, has been introduced by Thies GmbH specifically for dyeing high pile fabrics such as Terry Towelling.

The iMaster F Series of dyeing machines from leading German dyeing machinery manufacturer, Thies GmbH, has been designed for dyeing heavy pile fabrics, such as  terry towelling, and ensures economic and environmental operation with advanced   automation at low liquor levels as low as 1:4 for cotton.The F Series is the latest innovation for the highly successful iMaster range of dyeing machines. 

It features a large transport winch inside the dyeing kier to be processed with significantly reduced elongation.  This results in an improved stability, perfect fabric condition and appearance.

The new models are available with capacities of between 250 kg - 400 kg per chamber. The imaster f series can be delivered with up to max. 8 tubes for the 250 kg/tube and 6 tubes for the 400 kg version. Moreover, the iMaster F Series is also able to process a wide range of different articles.

Equipped with a 100% stock tank, a dosing tank and delivery system for dry salt, the machine is supplied optimised for the production of Terry articles.

The automatic self-cleaning filter system always helps to achieve the same dyeing and treatment conditions every time. Manual interventions for cleaning are reduced and productivity is increased.

Dyecontrol allows the visual display of the treatment curves to control the liquor clarity as well as the determination of the dye exhaust from the liquor.

The dyer recognizes if, and when, the dyes migrate from the aqueous phase to the fibre.  During rinsing bath saturation can be determined.  This allows program steps to be shortened and sequences to be programmed more efficiently; making treatment processes transparent and optimized. Rinse, wash and dye baths are measured on-line, continuously analysed and displayed graphically.

 First F units delivered

Portugal’s Terry Towelling producer Mundotextil has recently taken delivery of their first two iMaster F Series, each with a capacity of 400 kg.
