Robotized Yarn Dyeing Plant



The basic principle behind the STARR Color system is the simple idea of handling
stacks of cones without having to use either material carriers or rods. This is
how the company of Gualchierani System has managed to improve and simplify handling operations to make the whole dyeplant more functional and linear.

Cones are not handled using material carriers but exclusively manipulating
stacks of cones.

The organ of movement, which is a robot-operated bridge, consist of:

an element that picks up the dyed material;

an element that inserts the greige yarn;

an element that presses the stacks of cones and hooks the capping piece.



Thanks to the cone presser element and the special cap with its spring, the
STARR Color system can be used to dye every type of cop presently on the market.



Dyeing:

The STARR Color system is based on vertical modular units tested to operate at a
maximum temperature of 150°C and maximum pressure of 5 bar.

Inside the kier is an easily removable rod, with a diameter of 30 or 55 mm,
where the cones are stacked. The particular structure of the "come blocking
cap" and of the kier makes it possible to use every kind of dye cop
available on the market, such as:

TRUNCATED CONE H= 170 - 140 mm

CYLINDRICAL H= 200 - 170 - 140 mm

MARIPRESS H= 140 - 170 mm

with or without separator.

With this modular system, the machine layout can provide for machines of
variable capacity from 1-3 to 48 pipes, that can be operated in tandem.

The load capacity for each PIPE is, instead, determined by the type of cone we
are using:

11 cones per pipe with the 140 mm truncated cone type

9 cones per pipe with the 170 mm truncated cone type

12 cones per pipe with the 170 mm MARIPRESS type

The boilers, with their vertical structure, can operate in two ways, either
with AIR CUSHION or CONTINUOUS BATH RECYCLE.
