Mathis lab dryer
Principle of mathis lab dryer :
The conditions of exhaust processing on a jet are simulated.
The capacity of a penetration accelerant to destroy foam or control foaming during a dyeing cycle is assessed by measuring the foam level in a Mathis laboratory overflow jet.
Apparatus | mathis lab dryer overflow jet JFO with Datex 200 control ( 70 mm jet ) |
Liquor circulation | 100 l/min. |
Fabric speed | 20 m/min. |
Textile material | 750 g Tersuisse tricot ( item No. 5-4204 ) |
Dyes | 0.15% Terasil Yellow 4G 0.40% Terasil Red 5G 0.15% Terasil Navy BGLN 200% (dispersed in 500 ml de-ionized water ) |
Chemicals | 1.35 g/l Univadin DIF 2.0 g/l ammonium sulphate (dissolved in 500 ml de-ionized water) |
Product under test | 0.5 g/l (diluted with 100 ml de-ionized water ) |
Water | de-ionized (permutit) water |
pH | pH 4 – 4.5 with formic acid 85 % |
Liquor ratio in Dryer Unit | 10 : 1 |
Dyeing cycle | o o o o o o o o o o o | load fabric into jet add 6 lt. water and heat to 60°C pump liquor into preparation tank add dissolved chemicals, dyes and test product to preparation tank adjust to pH 4 – 4.5 run liquor back into dyeing machine bulk liquor to 7.5 lt. Dyeing (programme No. 2) raise temperature at 1.5°C/min to 130°C and hold it there for 30 min. note foam level at intervals of 10°C and enter in the separate table ( enclosure 1 ) cool at 1.5°C/min to 80°C then rinse cold |
Assessment
mathis lab dryer -The foam generated is measured in cm, and the results are plotted in the form of a graph.
Procedure for starting the FOAMY
o Switch on FOAMY
Press “ON/OFF” button of B. Display of A flashes !
o Briefly press key "0" of A --> flashing stops --> A ready for program selection
o Program selection
Hold down key “0” of A. In display of A “00” or a figure appears above Step. Press the key “+” or “-” of A at the same time to select the program.
In the case of the antifoams it is program 01. —> enclosure 3
o Choice of liquor flow rate
Press key “Const” of B , then button “liquor flow rate control” of B. “Liquor flow rate” is activated in the display of B.
Set the desired value by pressing the key “+” or “-” of B .
In the case of the antifoams this is 1.6 lt/min.
o Preparation of program start
Press key “+” or “-” of A until the number “01” appears in the A display in the Step field.
The program is now ready to start.
o Textile material
Load the textile material loosely on the support and insert it into the cylinder of the FOAMY. Close cylinder.
o Foaming medium
Pour 1000 ml foaming medium into the foam generating cylinder. Close cylinder.
o Starting the program
Actuate the “Press” key of B. The system is pressurized. At 0.9 bar actuate the “Press” key again to stop the pressure increasing further.
o Press the "Pump" key of B. Liquor circulation starts.
Wait until the rate of liquor flow has stabilized at about 1.6 lt/min.
o Press key "S" of A .The time/temperature program starts running.
The entries and the current temperature, time and program step status now alternately appear in the A display.
o When the layer of foam in the foam generation cylinder has reached a thickness of 30 cm, meter in the required amount of antifoam via the sluice.
o Foam thickness in cm: note and record with reference to table "Foam measurement FOAMY ". --> enclosure 4
o On completion of testing, drain off liquor, remove material and clean FOAMY by a separate program.
