Semi-continuous or pad-batch dyeing processes (Part 2)
The advantages of pad-batch over exhaust dyeing are low initial cost, reduced consumption of water, energy and chemicals, reduced effluent control and labor costs, a significant increase in productivity, and improvement in quality of the dyed fabric. Another benefit associated with processing woven fabrics is the tendency for pad batch lots to be smaller, which is a disadvantage in continuous processing where the minimum economical lot size is considered to be about 5,000 meters.
