Methods of Dyeing in Textile:
There are mainly nine types of dyeing methods in textile industry. Those are listed in the following:
- Bale Dyeing,
- Cross Dyeing,
- Random Dyeing,
- Beam Dyeing,
- Jig Dyeing,
- Batik Dyeing,
- Chain Dyeing,
- Burl or speck Dyeing,
- Piece Dyeing.
Dyeing Cost Calculation Formula in Wet Processing:
To find out the dyeing cost in textile wet processing industry, the below formula have to follow:
Dyeing cost per kg,
D.M+ D.L+ D.E+ OH
= ………………………………………
Total dyeing production
Where,
D.M = Direct materials cost,
D.L = Direct labor cost,
D.E = Direct expense cost,
OH = Overhead cost.
Elements of Dyeing Cost:
The cost elements involved in the textile dyeing process are as follows:
Direct materials cost (D.M) = Dyes and chemicals,
Direct labor cost (D.L) = Operators and helpers for definite job,
Direct expense cost (D.E) = Cost of re-dyeing, re-washing etc.
Overhead cost (OH) = Power, steam, rent, effluent treatment, transport, laboratory etc.
Key Factors of Dyeing Cost in Textile:
There are some key points or factors which are directly affected on textile dyeing cost. Those are presented in the following:
- Special dyes and chemicals.
- Types of dyeing- reactive, direct, vat, sulfur etc.
- Fabric types- delicate, blended, light or heavy fabric etc.
- Dyeing processing time.
- Effluent treatment cost.
- Types of dyeing machine- soft flow, winch dyeing machine etc.
- Types of color- medium, light, dark.
- Laboratory expenses.
Approximate Dyeing Cost in Bangladeshi Dyeing Factories:
Approximate cost examples of different levels of colors in textile dyeing process are as follows:
SL No. | Parameters | Winch (Per kg) | Soft Flow (Per kg) |
01 | Bleaching or whitening | 38 taka | 50 taka |
02 | Light color | 65-75 taka | 75-100 taka |
03 | Medium color | 75-90 taka | 100-130 taka |
04 | Dark color | 100-115 taka | 130-150 taka |
05 | 13 taka | 13 – 20 taka |
