1. AIR CUSHION PRESSURIZATION.
RBNV dyeing machines operate with material fully immerged in dyeing liquor.
Liquor flow through the material is bi-directional for perfect dyeing quality; liquor flow direction is reversed automatically at preset time intervals from inside-to-outside to outside-to-inside of textile material under process.
Pressurization is generated by a cushion of compressed air in the upper part of the autoclave (see Fig. 8.8.) and automatically controlled to keep a preset value.
Compared with conventional dyeing machines, the RBNV pressurization system determines a wide range of technological advantages:
— Expansion volume is realized directly into dyeing autoclave and no continuous external circulation in a side tank is necessary.
(In conventional apparatus, on the contrary, is necessary to have a second external circulation circuit in an expansion tank on the side apparatus).
— The entire liquor volume participates to the dyeing process and dyestuff exhaustion is perfectly homogeneous.
(In conventional apparatus the liquor in the expansion tank does not participate to the dyeing process and the dyestuff exhaustion level is reduced).
— During cotton dyeing with indanthrene dyestuffs the dyeing liquor is not subject to a continuous oxidation due to external air, and sodium hydrosulphite can be added in stoechiometric quantities at the start-up of dyeing cycle; no intermediate checking of reduction level and additions during operation are needed. (In conventional apparatus the oxidation is continuous and uncontrolled).
Substantial savings are realized in terms of cooling water, steam and electric power, since static pump, cooling and re-heating for continuous external circulation are eliminated.
Dyeing liquor temperature remains perfectly steady at preset value, (since no continuous liquor cooling/ heating is performed as in conventional apparatus).

The RBNV dyeing apparatus can be rapidly pressurized at low liquor temperature.
Air cushion pressurization permits to inject dyestuffs and chemicals quickly and directly into main liquor circuit.
Feeding can be performed by means of a single tank or a multi-tank color kitchen which can be installed near the RBNV apparatus or in a remote position, designed for centralization of products preparation.
Dyestuffs are injected into the highest turbulence point of liquor circulation pump, in order to originate an intensive stirring effect.
By comparison in conventional dyeing machines dyestuffs are inserted in a lateral expansion tank, which has a slow speed peripheral liquor circulation with the main dyeing apparatus, thereby causing long feeding times and uneven dyestuff exhaustion.
2. ADJUSTABLE LIQUOR RATIO.
On RBNV apparatus liquor ratio is adjustable to optimize processing condition, by means of automatic liquor level controls.
Level controls are performed by a floating level indicator combined with three adjustable electro-magnetic switches (L3 empty level, L2 normal level, L1 high level) in connection with automatic water filling valve (see Fig. 8.9.).
The RBNV apparatus can operate at:
• a) Low liquor ratio during dyeing phase.
In dyeing phase RBNV dyeing machines operate with liquor ratio from 1:4 to 1:8 in function of yarn package density. Level (L2) is activated. Low liquor ratio during dyeing saves process water, steam and auxiliary products added in fixed quantities in relation to liquor volume (detergents, salts, etc.) and determines economical operating costs.
• b) Higher liquor ratio during wash-off phase.
Adoption of higher liquor ratio during wash-off phase improves the solubility of unfixed dyestuffs, which can be easily eliminated from yarn under process. Level (L1) is activated. This characteristic allows for performing soaping and wash-off phases after cotton dyeing with fiber reactive or indanthrene dyes at a liquor ratio ranging from 1:8 to 1:13, with substantial reductions in both number of phases and times.
c) Fully-flooded during continuous rinsing phase.
The overflow valve is installed in the upper part of the autoclave closing lid, so as to perform a complete autoclave washing simultaneously with continuous rinsing of material under process, after the dyeing cycle. No liquor level is activated and the RBNV apparatus is fully flooded.
Adoption of a specific liquor ratio among the above requires a very simple operation of actuating the relevant automatic level probe.
3. FLEXIBLE LOADING CAPACITY.
Besides full load capacity, the RBNV apparatus can be loaded, when necessary, with reduced loads, keeping an almost constant liquor ratio.
This characteristic, of extreme importance for commission yarn dyers, offers unmatched operating flexibility as economical dyelot size is no more tied up with available machine capacity. Reduced load can be obtained (see Fig. 8.11.):
a) Normal total load.
b) Reduced load by fitting blind tubes on upper part of yarn package columns, or replacing yarn package spindles with shorter ones, or
c) Half load by loading one semi-carrier only, for machines designed to operate with two superimposed dyeing carriers.
In all such cases it is sufficient to adjust liquor level switches and liquor flow rate to dyeing conditions for reduced load.
Reduced loads on conventional apparatus result in high increasing of liquor ratio and necessity of recipe and sample corrections.

4. HELICOCENTRIFUGAL LIQUOR CIRCULATION PUMP.
The heart of RBNV dyeing apparatus is the liquor circulation pump, specifically engineered for dyeing use and designed for high liquor rates in the head pressure range from 4.0 to 15.0 meters water column, which are the actual operating conditions of more than 90% of yarn package dyehouses.
Higher head pressure values can be achieved when necessary by incresing shaft's rotating speed. Motor and pump's shaft rotate always in a single direction. Drive transmission from motor to pump is made by pulley and vee-belts in order to avoid vibrations.
