“We have invested in advanced production facilities in our knitting workshops for the production of jersey fabric, terry cloth, rib fabric, interlocking rib fabric, spandex fabrics, single-sided dobbies, double-sided dobbies, and other solid coloured or non-solid coloured fabrics,” says Mr Cao.

“Our dyeing workshops likewise have advanced equipment designed to process all types of cotton, polyester-cotton blends, Modal, Tencel, and ultra-fine nylon fabrics.”

The iMaster H2O is a two-chamber unit with 500 kg capacity, which is usually loaded to the full 500 kg, says Mr Cao.

“We are using it mainly for collars, interlocks, rib fabrics and lacoste,” he says. “Dyeing times vary depending on the colour.”

The reliability of the iMaster H2O is a significant factor in the dye shop's production cycle, adds Mr Cao, as the entire process uses the concept of lean manufacturing to precisely coordinate processing times, fine-tune production plans, shorten cycle time, improve efficiency, and lower costs.

“We operate the first just-in-time production line in the domestic dyeing and finishing industry,” he says.

The iMaster's H2O economy of usage is also a valuable factor in the tightly-run plant, the very low dye liquor levels achieving cost-effective dyeing, while the minimal rope lifting results in a low shrinkage factor.

The adjustable ij-box makes the machine suitable for all weights of fabric, while the dyeing, bleaching and rinsing is carried out with extremely low nozzle pressures, which helps to achieve the best quality fabric surface.

Under Youngor's drive for excellence, and its aim of further spread and penetration throughout the China market, the group has recently expanded its R&D centre, which amongst its many achievements has developed at least 10 innovative patents in processing techniques.

“Investing in the best technology such as Thies enables us to progress in this way and continually stay in front of everybody else,” says Mr Cao. “The iMaster H2O does everything we want it to do, it is efficient, and it fulfills all the environmental protection criteria.”
