Minimization of attachment<br />

of water in stepwise rinsing<br />

in batch machines<br />

Case illustration:<br />

Compressed air spreads out<br />

<strong>the</strong> textile as a balloon so<br />

that squeezing is possible<br />

without a risk for pleats.<br />

VH/Fong dewatering<br />

Concept Rinsing after washing and dyeing in e.g. batch machine is impeded and<br />

delayed due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> water attachment in <strong>the</strong> fabric. Normally this water cannot<br />

be squeezed out due <strong>to</strong> risk of pleat formation in <strong>the</strong> textile string. It is thus<br />

well known that batch dyeing machines in general, are good dyeing machines,<br />

but are poor washing and rinsing machines, due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> lack of a built-in dewatering<br />

device in <strong>the</strong> machine. If <strong>the</strong> attached amount of water could be minimized,<br />

so could <strong>the</strong> necessary amount of rinsing water. Possibilities for<br />

squeezing out or suctioning off of attached water should be assessed for relevant<br />

types of machines.<br />

Improvement potentials Savings in water, energy and production time. Preliminary experience with <strong>the</strong><br />

VH/Fong dewatering device has proven that more than 90% of <strong>the</strong> normal<br />

water, energy and time consumption for rinsing after re-active dyeing of cot<strong>to</strong>n<br />

can be saved.<br />

Relevance All companies who carry out batchwise rinsing.<br />
