A project to develop an intelligent dye dispensing solution, jointly undertaken by Tai?¯an Pingnai Co. Ltd., and the Institute of Automation affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, under an initiative of the National 863 Program, has achieved substantial progresses. The project team has worked out a solution of 60 dye colors that can be mixed as required, with each dye powder weighing between 5g and 32kg, a minimum resolution between 0.01-0.1g, and a weighing accuracy ?ü1%. While providing a full automatic solution for dye dispensing, the project has laid a theoretical foundation and made technical preparations for developing an automatic dye powder dispensing system, in an attempt to further enhance products?¯ quality.
The new system has a wide range of application perspectives for printing and dyeing, plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food industries. The technology is desirable for high end products that need high-accuracy dye dispensing and high quality control. It also helps to address labor intensity, pollution and quality issues in dye dispensing, and improve the industry?¯s social image.
