Features

New Microprocessor Controller

New controller interface uses symbols to relay programming information, eliminating the need for language translations.

New See-through Door

High temperature glass protected by a heat shield allows the user to visibly see the beaker motion in action.

New Temperature Sensor

New design is durable and accurate and gives years of reliable results.

Low Environmental Impact

High efficiency Infra-Red lamps and high output air cooling system reduce energy consumption

Increased productivity in the laboratory

Up to 20 dyeing positions available, many beaker sizes available, adaptable as the needs of the dye lab change.

Low liquor ratio capable

Beaker agitation options that offer smooth or aggressive agitiation given the specific substrate requirement.

Increased program storage capability

Up to 99 programs of 15 steps available to be stored locally for easy recall.

The dyeing beakers are rotated in a circular motion at a user
selectable speed continously during the dyeign process. Quartz
Infra-Red lamps generate radiant heat to heat the beakers at the
user defined gradient. Cooling is accomplished by a high output
CFM blower that inputs cool air into the dyeing chamber and
exhausts hot air out the rear of the unit. The controller uses
specially desinged control paramters to ensure the programed
dyeing curve is followed precisely.
