    The document provides standards and procedures for operating a jigger dyeing machine. Key points include checking the absorbency, whiteness and pH of fabric before dyeing. Uneven fabric must be segregated or restretched. Proper batch sizing and an even spread of fabric in the machine is important. Chemical additions should be made gradually and stirred in thoroughly to ensure even dyeing. The end fabric must be crease-free and meet quality standards.

    JIGGER DYEING MACHINE:

    Fabric preparation:
    POINTS TO CHECK: Absorbency, whiteness, pH of core fabric, creases of the fabric and the selvedges.
    STANDARD: Uniform whiteness, Ph must be neutral, and fabric should be crease free.
    NECESSARY ACTION: Give two acetic acid or formic acid wash. If the absorbency is not proper then
    rescouring is to be done. If uniform whiteness is not there then segregate the fabric. If creases are there
    then pass through the stenter to remove the creases.
    Batching:
    STANDARD: Knife cut batching (very even batching). If batching is not even, then segregate the fabric or
    dry the fabric on the stenter. During batching another precaution is that the expanders of the jigger
    must work properly.
    Batch Size:
    Indian machines are having batching capacity in kg but internationally, diameter of the batch is
    specified.
    Measurement of the yardages of the fabric:
    STANDARD: It is the maximum permissible limit.
    Maximum Limit:
    Do not permit to overload the fabric. Because the fabric may get overlapped.
    MLR:
    Jigger dyeing machine is 1:1 to 1:1.5. During colouration 1:1.5, during soaping 1:2, during soaping for
    overflow washing it is 1:5. Maintain constant water level for over flow washing. Prevent water and
    steam leakages.
    Quality of the end cloth fabric: Non absorbent like nylon, polyester, linen etc. Length and width of
    the end cloth needs to be checked.
    Crease free fabric:
    Creases are found near the selvedges. So it has to be removed immediately. Creases are formed in
    between the fabric due to the improper working of expanders.
    Recipe: Calculated according to the weight of the fabric and the quality of the fabric.
    Colour Preparation: Checked during the preparation of the colour. Check on the filter paper by
    spotting. Ensuring proper dissolution of the colour. Strain the colour through bolting cloth prior to
    dyeing. This parameter is for conventional jigger machine. Use proper dissolution method in case of vat
    and sulphur, give sufficient time for dissolution.
    Colour and Chemical Addition: Importantly colour and chemically addition should be in even
    installments and not in odd installments. Use of splash board should be done during addition of any
    chemical to the jigger dyeing machine. Proper stirring of the solution in the trough after every addition.
    All solid chemicals must be added by predissolving.
