Product Overview
The Dhara Hydraulic Jigger is a high-performance batch dyeing and wet-processing machine engineered for scouring, bleaching, dyeing, washing, and rinsing of woven and knitted fabrics. Designed for true tensionless fabric handling, the system ensures uniform shade development, zero center-selvedge variation, and complete elimination of tailing effects, even on delicate or high-value textiles.
Supporting reactive, vat, sulphur, and specialty dyes, the Dhara Hydraulic Jigger combines energy-efficient hydraulic drives, advanced liquor management, and PLC-based automation to deliver consistent, reproducible results for modern textile finishing plants.
