Continuous dosing system for cold pad batch (CPB) dyeing

Feeding a precisely prepared dye-chemical solution into the trough of a CPB dyeing machine is an essential first step to producing fabric that is evenly dyed and with minimal shade variations. Conventional two-part metering pumps are unable to maintain the consistent 1:4 chemical to dye ratio due to the lack of a feedback loop. Due to this variability, the dye shade is negatively impacted in terms of uniformity of tone and hue. In A.T.E.'s continuous dosing system for cold pad batch (CPB) dyeing, however, a tight synchronisation is maintained between two pumps with the help of PLC and flow meter feedback. This enables independent control over both the chemical as well as dye liquor, thus eliminating variations in the chemical and dye ratio.

Both the dye and chemical pumps are regulated through a feedback system from the flowmeter. The ratio is kept constant by controlling the speed of a chemical pump with help of a VFD (variable frequency drive), in sync with a dye pump
Even a small change in the flow of the dye pump is sensed and the chemical pump will act quickly to keep the ratio constant
Level sensor feedback from the trough ensures that there is no overflow of liquor Fabric transport speed is calculated from the pulse frequency of the yardage counter and the calculation of the fabric throughput in kg/h
Pumps are regulated as long as the dosing station is switched on or the fabric transport is switched on
Actual dosing feedback is received from the flowmeters and is compared and corrected continuously with the set point threshold
