The Role of Laboratory Dyeing Machine Design in Achieving Accurate Colour Matching for Bulk

Historically the demands of industry have stimulated technological developments in laboratory machinery design. During the last two decades laboratory machine manufacturers have produced equipment capable of simulating all production process machine parameters. Development of new process technology lies largely in the hands of chemists and physicists, and it is inconceivable that engineers will be unable to meet their future demands. Along with the expansion of integration dyeing, recent work in mathematical modelling and dye process control has suggested a requirement for liquor flow control. Equipment to satisfy this need is already available, some of which can determine optimum processing conditions
