WEKO is changing traditional finishing andy dyeing processes to be more cost effective and environmentally friendly - with innovative and precise rotor spray technology.
Todays traditional continuous dyeing & finishing method is padding. Since decades it is a well-known application method and bring high flexibility. Everyone knows how to use it most efficient.
But is it really cutting-edge technology?
Is the latest padding technology the most cost, energy, waste and water saving working principle?
The Padder also comes with many disadvantages because it is a full contact system (dip and squeeze):
- bath contamination and tailing
- center-side variations
- only double-sided application possible
- permanent full penetration and high pick-up from 50-130%.
- high required drying capacity due to high pick-up
- high consumption of chemicals and water
- mechanical stress on the fabric
- high application tolerance
The revolution in Textile finishing and dyeing - contactless minimum rotor spray application.
Easily could be brought down the wet pick-up and therefore reducing the high drying energy and your carbon footprint.
Due to the non-contact, uniform application, there is no tailing or listing and you get an excellent and easy reproducible quality. Single-sided, double-sided or different functions per side can be applied. The penetration level can also be influenced and adapted to the respective application. The high chemical flexibility – also compared to other spray technologies - ensures versatile use.
Non-contact spray dyeing opens up completely new possibilities in fashion design - directly in the dyeing process.
In traditional cotton continuous dyeing the complete Hotflue-section of a PDPS line could be saved by using our PS²-technology in Reactive or VAT Dyeing. On Polyester we could offer the most advanced and compact solution for Continuous Pigment or Disperse Dyeing.
For DENIM fabrics, one-sided dyeing, different colors per side or overdyeing without penetration is easily possible. In DENIM Slasher-Dyeing also multicolor dyeing using several dyes in one liquor or one after the other (dye baths are without contact and remain contamination-free) bringing new Designs to the market. Deliberate creation of streakiness, vintage or salt&pepper look and much more by varying the spray parameters. Open up new possibilities for your customers.

Where can you use the non-contact minimum application?
In Textile they are typically used on stenter frames, coating lines or dyeing ranges.
