Jigger and Winch Preparation Equipment
topic
Jigger machines process fabric in open width on two rolls that alternately wind and unwind through a trough containing treatment liquor, providing multiple end-to-end passes through preparation or dyeing chemicals at liquor ratios of 3 to 5 litres per kilogram for batch processing of 100 to 500 metre pieces, while rope winch machines process fabric in rope form through an oval trough providing gentler mechanical action suitable for delicate knitted and loosely woven fabrics.
Role
Provides versatile batch processing capability for small to medium fabric lots in preparation, scouring, and dyeing operations where the piece-by-piece processing flexibility of jigger and winch machines enables quality-critical handling of sensitive fabrics and small production runs that cannot economically justify the minimum lot size requirements of continuous range processing equipment.
