Colour kitchen system is essentially a modular
system. The automation of color kitchen obviously result in a better
control of the processes. The colour kitchen considerably reduces the
number of dye additions and the levels of reprocessing. The "right-first-time
ratio" shows a good precentage by jumping from 50 to around 85
percent. This effectively translates into average savings of 5-10
percent in energy and water use. Also a reduction in the consumption of
dyestuff and chemicals to around 10-20 percent is made with an efficient
colour kitchen.
Managing through the Color Kitchen Manager gives certain benefits that
are quite unique to it. For example it is able to provide an exactlyand
smooth dosed supply of the machines at the right moment. This checks the
inaccuracies associated with dosing manually. Manual dosing has been
seeen to lead to problems like off-shade dyeings and insufficient
reproducibility. Apart from that, the concept of unique closed pipe
system helps to prevent the hazards, that can occur to workers and to
the environment generally associated with dangerous substances.
Primarily, the colour kitchen manager, the CHD chemical and auxiliary
dispensing unit provides a very compact and integrated system for
process-controlled measurement and distribution. This is applicable for
all liquid auxiliaries. The next expansion stage comprises supply of
dyestuff through a system of parallel pipes. The dyestuffs that is
supplied into the distributing system is passed through a double systems
approach. They are a recipe-controlled weighing station and the
automatic dissolving station.
