Slasher Dyeing:
In continuous slasher/sheet dyeing and sizing machines, direct warping beam is used instead of ball warping log in case of indigo rope dyeing system. Slasher dyeing machines are capable of handling ne count forms from 9/s to 30/s (both OE and Slub). Typical schematic sheet dyeing range is shown in Fig. At the rear end of the slasher/sheet dying range, direct warping beams are creeled. A sheet of yarn is drawn from each beam and combined with yarn from other beams to form multiple sheets of yarn. While dyeing according to the sheet dyeing method, warp threads instead of wires are fed into the machine parallel to each other. They are much smaller than rope dyeing machines. Another advantage is that there is no need to open the cables after dyeing.
Moreover, each yarn gets wet much faster and thus reduces dipping and wetting time during dyeing. Altogether, each thread has a larger surface area than a dyeing wire and requires slightly more hydrosulfite to prevent premature oxidation of the indigo.
