After the successful implementation of the latest fabric dyeing machines iMaster H2O and soft-TRD SIII, Thies is launching its newest yarn dyeing machine in Shanghai, iCone.

The new development consolidates highest ecological standards with technological intelligence to achieve large savings in water and electricity consumption, according to Thies. Construction of the iCone, on display in Hall E6 at Stand A02, is based upon Thies’s eco-bloc series, but incorporates innovative new technologies. Its newly designed ‘pump block’ system allows dyeing with an ultra short liquor ratio. Depending on carry-over of the material, liquor ratios of 1:3.6 in partially flooded vessels are now possible in mill practice.

Improved rinsing functions are said to allow reduction of after-treatment time by almost one hour. Moreover, the new ‘suction pipe’ design enables adjustment of flow reversal - from inside to outside and from outside to inside, said Thies.

iCone has been specifically developed to meet the requirements of stringent international and local environmental protection regulations with simultaneous consideration of its economic efficiency. Thies is represented in Pakistan by Noon International, based in Lahore with a branch office in Karachi.
