The chemical laboratory is today the heart of the production process, as well as the starting and checking point, on whose correct operation depends to a large extent the final outcome of the process. The relevance of these service instruments developed in line with the need to overcome the difficulties existing in the management of machines and processes, but also with the increasing requirements of the customers.

New developments in this field are the innovative automatic systems for colour testing in the dyebath and the last generation of laboratory equipment, aimed at automatizing all stages for the preparation, metering and transfer of dyestuffs, auxiliaries and chemical solutions.

The range of dyeing apparatus “made in Italy” is definitely comprehensive and includes machines and plants for the processing of all fibers in pure and blends, with processing cycles carried out at every stage of the processing chain, from staple to tow and/or to tops, to yarns (on cones, hanks, cheeses), to knitted and woven fabrics, up to the ready-made garments.

The wide range of specific equipment regards:
• Hank dyeing cabinet or arm machines;
• Yarn dyeing technologies for cones on vertical or horizontal spindles;
• Piece dyeing with alternative equipment for rope dyeing through jet or flow technology, depending on the different application of the “dyeing points”; jigger or beam dyeing equipment, depending on needs, for open-width dyeing.

This approximate classification does not consider the manifold innovations brought to some machines, which registered a worldwide success through their offer of innovative solutions. The main innovations are focused on a machine equipment which ensures extremely low liquor ratio, high speed dyeing and a low cycle time.
