The IntegrAM Team is aimed at continuous technological updating with primary attention to the needs of our customers, combined with a multidisciplinary vision and attention to environmental sustainability and circular economy. The Steam DYEING project provides solutions for vibratory bowl systems, designed for mass Steam Dyeing of medium/small parts, whether they are in plastic, composites (in particular with a polymers+fiber base) or other compatible plastic materials. A Leading Specialist of pigments for dyeing, like TCN (France) has developed, in a Joint R&D program with the IntegrAM Team, special colouring pigments for any dyeing process – but with priority to the program: ULTRA-BLACK-AM
Such a intense and deep black pigment, applied with the Steam Dyeing technology, provides innovation, low waste emission and circular economy concepts.
Infact:
The result of this international cooperation is a very modern technology based on three strong points:
- The lowest possible carbon footprint and production of polluting substances or waste – compared with the classic technology about 10 to 20 times less polluting – this means a RATIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT, with consequent reduced costs;
- Integrated process, 100% automated, including: 2a. Surface preparation; Heating up of the workpieces batch; 2c. Steam DYEING ULTRA-BLACK-AM (with reduced quantity of consumables then low waste produced); 2d. Final Rinsing; 2e. Hot Air Drying of the workpieces batch;
- Repeatability towards recipes, with final automatic colour recovery, separated by the other phases (i.e.: rinsing)*;
* | In course of development the program to recover exhaust dyeing pigment as a second raw material to produce coloured products;
Ultra-BLACK-AM technology is going to be revealed at FORMNEXT 2024 in Frankfurt – Germany
Besides the dark colour trend, we are going to present, in the beginning of 2025, the excellence of color dyeing with:
With a revolutionary technology based on a single solvent, transparent, combined with solid pills of dyeing pigments – for fastest deliveries, reduced stock space and improved safety.
