Dyeing & Finishing for sale

Dyeing & finishing for sale covers a wide range of equipment, from jet dyeing machines and jiggers through to stenter frames, sanforizing ranges and continuous finishing lines. The right choice depends on your fabric type, batch size and the finish you need to achieve.

What to look for by machine type

Jet and overflow dyeing machines suit knitted and delicate wovens where low tension is important. Jiggers and beam dyeing machines handle flat wovens and technical fabrics well. Stenter frames control width and apply finishes or coatings in a continuous pass, typically running at widths from around 1,800 mm to 3,600 mm. Sanforizing ranges are specific to woven cotton and blended fabrics where residual shrinkage needs to be controlled to a tight tolerance.

Buying checks

For used machines, which make up a significant part of what's listed here, inspect these before committing:

• Cylinder and roller condition: scoring, pitting or uneven wear affects finish quality directly
• Heating system: steam coils, gas burners or electric elements should be pressure-tested or checked for output consistency
• Drive chains, belts and gearboxes: worn drives cause speed variation and uneven treatment
• Electrical panels and controls: older machines from the early 2000s may need rewiring or PLC upgrades
• Chemical contact parts: stainless steel tanks and padder rollers should be free of corrosion and delamination

For imported machines, confirm shipping dimensions and weight early, as stenter frames in particular can be large to dismantle and reassemble.

Price is driven mainly by working width, heating method, automation level and overall condition. Brands listed here include QL Machinery, Corino, Cimi, Lafer, MAT and TMT.
