IR Lab Dyeing Machines
The textile sector, a pillar of global manufacturing, is constantly seeking new ways to improve efficiency, precision, and sustainability. One such breakthrough is the Infrared (IR) Lab Dyeing Machine, which is changing the way textile dyeing operations are carried out in laboratories and manufacturing facilities.
Due to their cutting-edge technology and effective dyeing procedure, IR Lab Dyeing Machines are becoming more and more popular among laboratories. This machine is ideal for dyeing samples of natural and synthetic fibers/yarns, fabrics of both woven and knitted type, zipper, and shoe mesh. This machine is suitable for all kinds of dyeing at room temperature and high temperature. It can be used to dye samples in 12 to 24 distinct colors thus providing high productivity.

Key Features:
- Control panel:
- This dyeing machine is equipped with microcomputer control and can be operated via smartphone
- PLC controller to control temperature and LCD display for program progress
- 100 process parameters programs and 100 steps per program can be stored for further use
- Infrared heating tube instead of using glycerin thus energy save up to 50%
- Automatic rotation device, rotation speed up to 50 RPM
- Uniform and crease free dyeing because of 360º rolling motion of beakers
- Dyeing part
Stainless steel beaker with a lid sealing pad ensures dyeing without leakage and it is convenient to use and clean. 150ml and 300ml capacity beakers are most common to use.
- Heating and cooling part
This machine uses an infrared heating tube, which has a low power consumption, does not produce lampblack pollution due to overheating. It is designed with thermal insulation layer thus heat loss is minimal with more power saving.
Additionally, this machine has a higher heat dissipation efficiency since its heat absorption area increases during heating and its heat dissipation area increases during cooling. To minimize wasting water, the cooling method uses convection forced air cooling.
