Hunan Qiyang Textile Town Weaves A New Vision Of Ten Billion Industries

At Dongjun Textile in Baishui Textile Town, Qiyang City, Hunan Province, 15 waterless color printing machines run at high speed. After high-temperature color printing in the oven, the cloth is colored. One machine can finish 100 meters of color printing every minute, easily realizing 24-hour peak shift operation of one machine with more cloth and one cloth with more dyeing.

"Compared with traditional dye vat dyeing, the use of waterless printing technology not only replaces machine washing, printing and dyeing, but also solves the problem of traditional air drying, achieving zero sewage discharge." Ma Weiguo, executive vice general manager of Qiyang Dongjun Textile Company, said that the enterprise covers the whole manufacturing process from raw material "one silk" to terminal product "one piece of cloth", From labor-intensive to machine OEM, the traditional textile scene of "thousands of people's yarn and thousands of people's cloth" is no longer the case. Enterprises have comprehensively launched automatic, intelligent and digital technological transformation to form the most complete textile industry system of spinning, weaving, printing, dyeing and finishing.
