This invention relates to a process and apparatus for dyeing of textiles, to an immobilized enzyme comprised in said apparatus required for carrying out the process, and to a method to produce enzymatically indigo and derivatives thereof.

An embodiment herein provides a process for dyeing of textile materials 108 with supercritical fluid. One or more dye materials 102 along with additives (if required) are mixed with at least one suitable solvent 104 to obtain one or more dye solutions 106. A textile material 108 is pre-treated with the one or more dye solutions 106 to obtain a dye coated textile material 110. The dye-coated textile material 110 is exposed to the supercritical fluid 112 in a supercritical fluid dyeing vessel at controlled pressure and temperature. The supercritical fluid 112 solubilizes and diffuses the one or more dye materials 102 inside the surface, pores and capillaries of the textile material 108. The supercritical fluid vessel is then depressurized below supercritical condition to entrap the one or more dye materials 102 in the textile material 108 to obtain a supercritical fluid dyed textile material 114.

The present invention refers to a group for preparing a compound for dyeing manufactured items, including clothing articles, including at least one tank for containing a liquid and at least one filter or dye component including at least one natural dye substance (FS).

The invention discloses a waterless fiber dyeing machine suitable for mixed fluid medium, including a dyeing tank, a carbon dioxide pressurizing system and a polar medium pressurizing system, a fiber loading system, a circulating dyeing system, a carbon dioxide recycling system, a polar medium separating and recycling system and an automatic unloading system. Since there are pressurizing systems and separating and recycling systems for carbon dioxide medium and polar medium, dyeing with the mixed fluid medium is realized in the waterless dyeing tank and the circulating dyeing system thereof; the hydrophobic carbon dioxide fluid medium is effectively modified, so that the dyeing performance and effect of the dye molecules on the hydrophilic natural fiber are improved. The fiber loading system and the unloading system can significantly improve the fiber loading efficiency, the discharging efficiency of the products.

A method for processing textile fibers is provided. The method comprises: adding a plurality of raw materials for processing textile fibers into a plurality of kettles; preparing supercritical carbon dioxide; obtaining one or more natural plant dyes and one or more natural plant extracts from the plurality of raw materials, and dissolving the one or more natural plant dyes and the one or more natural plant extracts in the supercritical carbon dioxide; dyeing and functionally modifying the textile fibers simultaneously by using the supercritical carbon dioxide carrying a mixture of the one or more natural plant dyes and the one or more natural plant extracts; performing a post-process to recycle the supercritical carbon dioxide; and performing a cleaning process to clean the one or more natural plant dyes and one or more natural plant extracts.

A system, a method and a machine for treating threads or parts thereof, the machine having one or more cartridges each configured for containing thread treatment-material therein; one or more injectors, each injector being configured for applying treatment-material from its respective cartridge over a passing portion of the thread; drive means for operating the one or more injectors; and a communication and control unit for receiving treatment plan data indicative of at least one machine readable treatment related parameter associated with at least one treatment effect for each thread portion to be treated for controlling the treatment effect of each passing thread portion, according to the received treatment plan data. A designated application of the system may be used having a unique user interface allowing creating treatment plans.

A method for the treatment of a textile substrate is described, in which the substrate is arranged in a treatment device and treated with an aqueous treatment bath. Here the moisture of the textile substrate is adjusted to a predetermined moisture in the beginning of the treatment, whereby the treatment bath volume to be sprayed on the respective subject and per time unit is determined exactly, so that the textile subject provides the defined predetermined moisture at the end of the treatment. The therefore used devices enables the realization of the method for textile substrates designed as a fabric strand, a wide fabric web package and a fabric package.

A waterless dyeing device for cone yarn, a waterless dyeing method and a produce are provided; wherein the device comprising: a dye autoclave (1); a dyeing autoclave (2); a recycle autoclave (6); a dyeing circulation system in which the dye autoclave (1), the dyeing autoclave (2) and the recycle autoclave (6) are in fluid communication with; wherein further comprises: a cone yarn inlet formed on the top of the dyeing autoclave (2), which is provided with a sealing cap (7); a cone yarn center shaft (10) vertically disposed at the center inside the dyeing autoclave, which is a perforated outlet tube with fluid discharge holes opened on the side wall; an intake pipe (13) disposed on the bottom of the dying autoclave (2) which is in communication with the cone yarn center shaft (10); a dyeing autoclave outlet (9) disposed on the dying autoclave (2); and a CO2 container (4), a pressure pump, a circulation pump (3) and conduits which are included in the dyeing circulation system.
