Dyeing
Our continuous dyeing ranges are in use all over the world, conforming to the highest standards.
We offer:
-
Cold Pad Batch ranges for woven and knitted fabrics
-
Pad Steam Dyeing ranges for woven fabrics
Kusters Calico offers the most accepted and reliable open-width dyeing solution in the world of textiles, in the form of 'Cold Pad Batch'.
The greatest advantage is that the two swimming rolls provided ensure the best application of dyes to the fabric. This machine is economical, saving on a huge amount of power and chemicals.
For knitted articles we offer:
Softknit
The processing of knitted fabric is characterised by controlled and minimised fabric tension and smooth transportation of fabric. All processes are differentiated from those of wovens by short fabric paths that minimise the duration of contact. This inhibits selvedge curling.
-
Largest possible correction range of the pinch joint with 2-S roll padder due to separate systems for generating the line force and bending compensation
-
Better control of parameters by separate hydraulic and pneumatic pressure for even squeeze/nip
-
No side-to-side variation in dyeing
-
No tailing effect owing to constant level in trough
-
Documentation of whole process
-
Reproducibility and uniformity throughout the process
-
Minimisation of chemicals and dyestuff waste
-
Eco-friendly, cost-effective and user-friendly operation
-
Padding mangle with two Swimming Rolls
-
Metering pump with automatic level controller (optional with a dosing station)
-
Batching arrangements
-
Process oriented fabric feeding-in and exit systems

Minimisation of chemicals and dyestuff waste
-
Significant savings in terms of chemicals, energy, water and time
-
Less polluting and more eco-friendly
S-Roll Technology
The unique construction of the German-made roll ensures even nip pressure across the working width.
Its ability to control deflection in the middle and sides of the working width has an important role to play.
The deflection-controlled roll for constant results
- Padders are equipped with the well-known Swimming Roll (S-Roll).
- With controlled linear pressures the deflection-controlled rolls achieve a specific squeezing nip for every fabric.

Contidos Dosing System for CPB Dyeing
Dosing to Measure
- Online Dosing for CPB dyeing with Padder
- Production of dye liquor on the basis of dye solution and auxiliaries dispensed separately
- Dye solution and auxiliaries are blended homogeneously in a mixer and fed into the padder
- Dosing of each individual component according to recipe quantity in ml per litre of dye liquor
Metering of Liquor Pick-up
- Consumption record
- Automatic operation mode
- High accurancy in dye liquor production with automatic control of dosing tolerances
- Trouble-free and rapid colour changes
- Small losses of dye liquor and short rinsing processes in the case of colour changes
- No preparation of auxiliary baths
- Dosing capacity according to recipe and production capacity
- PLC control with operating terminal
- Link to process control system
- Dissolving and preparation
Dyeing Steamer
The high quality and the production standards of our dyeing steamers guarantee even and reproducible results.
- Dyeing steamer with perfectly saturated steam conditions using Cloud Control.
- Water lock at the exit with temperature control.
- Prevention of water drops due to heated roof.
- Specially designed infeed and exit to prevent either air entering the steamer or unnecessary loss of steam.
- Spraying system for quick cleaning and cooling down.
- Tension sensitive fabric transport due to frequency controlled driven pulling rollers.
