Energy conservation in wet processing: Development of low energy dyeing machine

摘要

Ultrasound technique has been studied and used for a variety of applications in liquids, dispersions and polymers. Ultrasonics holds a promise in applications in the field of textiles. In spite of the varied advantages and simplicity of ultrasonic dyeing, the commercialization of this technique is not reported in literature. SASMIRA has therefore taken up a project sponsored by Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, to indigenously develop an Open Width Dyeing Machine of commercial scale incorporating the technique of ultrasound. This article reports in brief the developmental work. The resultant conservation in time and energy during processing has been emphasized.
