Composed by a DOSORAMA WSL dispensing machine + DYRAMA dyeing modules for yarn bobbins of different sizes, the DOS&DYE® 6000 is capable of continuous operation, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, even in the absence of assigned personnel, until the material still to be dyed in the parking lot is exhausted. It is possible to perform one dyeing after another proceeding without interruption, finish the set dyeing schedules, and go all the way to FINAL quality control.

There is no "sampling" of color shade verification because the DOS&DYE® 6000 can guarantee a "RIGHT FIRST TIME" of 96%-98%, this peculiarity enables rapid production for fast deliveries just in time with excellent technical quality.

Visitors can discover all the solutions at ACIMIT booth - Hall 6 Stand C50 during ITMA ASIA in Shanghai from 14 to 18 October 2024.

“Action helps us change what we do!”

DAY 0 takes place deliberately before PERFORMANCE DAYS begins. It is conceived as a space for reflection, dialogue and active engagement — a moment to pause before the fair, rethink established systems and address sustainability not as a trend, but as a fundamental transformation challenge. Under the guiding metaphor “Turn the Tap Off”, DAY 0 focuses on root causes rather than symptoms, systemic change rather than isolated solutions, and collective responsibility rather than individual silos.

VAUDE eliminates PFAS from all products

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are now detectable worldwide – in drinking water, soil and the human body. These so-called “forever chemicals” are considered hazardous to health and potentially carcinogenic, as they do not break down and remain in the environment permanently. Despite these risks, PFAS are still used in a wide range of products. More than 15 years ago, VAUDE made a strategic decision to gradually eliminate PFAS from all product categories.
