The skeins of yarn usually hang from poles fitted
into a frame that can belowered into the dye bath.
Rodsinserted at the bottom of the frame keep the
skeins fully extended.
Aspare frameallows preparation of one load while
another is in the dyeing machine.
The frame has aperforatedtop and bottom.
The dye liquor gently circulates eitherdown
through the hanks, or in thereverse directionif the
machine is completely filled.

Thesteam and cooling pipes are at the bottom of this
compartment,dyesand chemicals are also added here.
This type of dyeing machine is frequently referred to as
aHussong machine.
For level dyeing, equal exposure of all the yarn in the
skeins to the circulating dye liquor requires even
packing of the skeins.
Upward circulation of the liquor in the machine lifts the
yarns in contact with the upper poles, otherwise these
willdye palerbecause ofpoor contact with the
liquor.

Theliquor ratio isusually rangesfrom24:1 to 30:1.
Highliquor ratiosrequires:
Greateramounts of dyeing assistantsand
Consumemore steamthan in package dyeing
machines.
The rates ofheatingandliquor circulationare low.
Hussong machine isless productive and less
economicthan dyeing yarn wound into bobbins, itis
widely used for dyeing skeins ofwoolandacrylic
yarn.

Contact between the solution and the yarns touching
the upper poles can beavoided by pulsating the
liquor flow.

Amajor reason for the decline of hank dyeing is the
problem ofunwinding.
After dyeing, the wet hanks arecentrifuged,hung
on polesorhooks, andpassed through a hot air
oven.
Theymust then be mounted on arotating frameto
unwind the yarn.
