Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about jigger dyeing machines — fabrics, liquor ratio, temperature, automation, capacity and service.

A jigger dyes woven fabric in open (full) width by winding it back and forth between two main rollers through a dye trough. It dyes flat and crease-free at a low liquor ratio.
Woven fabrics — poplin, voile, satin, suiting, shirting, sheeting and similar — in cotton, viscose, polyester, nylon and blends. Jiggers apply lengthwise tension, so they suit wovens better than knits or stretch fabrics.
A low material-to-liquor ratio, commonly 1:3 to 1:5, which saves water, dye, chemicals and steam versus rope-form machines.
Atmospheric jiggers run up to about 98 °C.
Across our range, from 75 kg up to 2000 kg per batch (model dependent).
Choose the Semi-Automatic / Classic Jigger for proven mechanical control and simple maintenance, the Automatic / Smart Jigger for PLC-led repeatability and lower operator dependency, or the Atmospheric Automatic Jigger for a fully enclosed, intelligently controlled flagship platform.
