The invention relates to a separation, recycling and self-cleaning system of a supercritical fluid dyeing machine. The system includes a supercritical fluid medium reservoir, one or more parallel dyeing units, a high-pressure pump, a primary separator, a secondary separator and a membrane separator sequentially connected. A dyeing medium and residual dye in dyeing units can be efficiently separated and recycled simultaneously, and when the separation and recycling is finished, each dyeing unit can be directly opened so that the dyeing units and products can be cleaned after dyeing, thereby improving the production and processing efficiency of supercritical fluid waterless dyeing and achieving simple operations, complete separation, stability and reliability and a blowback self-cleaning. The invention has a broad application prospect and practical significance in fundamentally addressing generation and emission of pollutants in the textile printing and dyeing industry and realizing energy conservation, consumption reduction, emission reduction and clean production.

Described herein are apparatuses and methods for dyeing garments. An exemplary apparatus comprises a dye injection system configured to dispense concentrated liquid dye; a dyeing machine comprising a dyeing chamber configured for dyeing at least one garment in a dyebath; and a controller in communication with the dye injection system and the dyeing machine, wherein the controller is configured: to receive at least one garment parameter corresponding to the at least one garment; based at least in part on the at least one received garment parameter, cause the dye injection system to dispense a volume of concentrated liquid dye containing an amount of dyestuff that can be substantially absorbed by the at least one garment; and cause the dyeing machine to execute a dye cycle such that substantially all of the dyestuff in the dispensed concentrated liquid dye is absorbed by the at least one garment within the dyeing chamber.

The present invention provides a production process characterized in that a false twisting process is added between a spinning process and a winding process so that yarn slivers undergo excessive pre-torsion in an axial direction and twists which are same in quantity but different in twisting direction are generated on the yarn slivers. Absorption of glucose-containing sulfur dyestuff is performed in a dyeing process. An ammonia removal process is performed in a high-temperature and high-pressure tank so that residual ammonia in a fabric is evaporated. The evaporated ammonia is collected and then fed back to a mercerizing process for continuous use. The present invention also provides a production line including a spinning unit having a false twisting device, a dyeing unit configured to realize the dyeing process, and a liquid ammonia finishing unit consisting of a fabric mercerizing device, an ammonia removal device, an ammonia recycling device and a controller.
