Dye system can slash lead times - Jeanologia
15/03/2022
With the Colorbox series of machines, manufacturers can reduce average water and chemicals usage by 60% and energy by 45%, the Valencia-based company says. It is also said to lead to 76% less salt used in garment dyeing.
In what the company describes as a ‘revolutionary’ technology for garment dying, Colorbox allows a manufacturer to dye a product at any stage of the manufacturing process. This could allow them to respond faster to customer needs.
Colorbox makes it possible “to reduce product colour decision making deadlines, decreasing lead time to between two weeks and 48 hours compared with the 18 weeks needed in traditional processes,” said Jeanologia CEO Enrique Silla.
Reproducibility is a big issue in garment dyeing that the patented Colorbox system addresses to ensure best product outcome at lowest production cost, and with minimum impact on the planet.
Jeanologia’s eco-efficient machines and processes have contributed to helping the industry reduce water usage by 18.2 million cubic meters in 2021, the company says. Every year, for World Water Day (March 22), it publishes its estimate of how much water the industry has saved by using its machines and technologies.
This year, Jeanologia began measuring the carbon emissions avoided and believes these represent 83.8 million kg of CO2 emissions saved in the course of 2021.
