What type of textiles are best suited for overflow dyeing machines?

2025-07-23

With its unique working principle, overflow dyeing machines are particularly suitable for processing textiles that are sensitive to tension, loose in structure or easily deformed. The core is that the dye liquid and the fabric circulate in the pipe at the same time to form a gentle liquid flow. The fabric is in a relaxed floating state in the dye liquid, which greatly reduces mechanical friction and stretching. Therefore, overflow dyeing machines are particularly good at processing various types of knitted fabrics, such as single-sided sweat cloth, double-sided sweater cloth, rib, terry cloth, etc. These fabrics have fluffy structures and good elasticity. If other equipment with high tension is used, it is very easy to cause deformation, curling, pilling or elongation. The low-tension environment created by the overflow dyeing machine perfectly meets the dyeing needs of knitted fabrics, and can effectively maintain their original soft feel and excellent elastic recovery performance.

In addition to knitted fabrics, elastic woven fabrics containing spandex are also ideal processing objects for overflow dyeing machines. Spandex fibers are very sensitive to tension, temperature and chemicals. The overflow dyeing machine's precise temperature control, gentle dye liquor circulation, and ultra-low mechanical tension can protect the elasticity of spandex to the greatest extent, prevent it from breaking or permanently damaged due to excessive stretching or excessive stress, and ensure that the finished fabric has good resilience and stable dimensions. At the same time, it is also suitable for regenerated cellulose fibers such as viscose, modal, and tencel and their blended knitted fabrics or stretch fabrics, because these fibers have low wet strength and are easy to deform and wrinkle. The gentle treatment of the overflow dyeing machine can ensure good fabric flatness.


In addition, the overflow dyeing machine also shows advantages for medium and small batch orders with high requirements for dyeing uniformity and reproducibility. The full and uniform relative movement of the dye liquor and the fabric, coupled with the advanced automatic control system, can achieve excellent leveling effect, meeting the requirements of high color fastness, bright color, and full feel. Whether it is pure cotton, polyester, nylon or medium-thick knitted fabrics, stretch fabrics or loosely structured woven fabrics made of cellulose regenerated fibers, as long as a low-tension, high-level dyeing processing environment is required, the overflow dyeing machine is a reliable choice.
