| Abstract | This study intentionally attempted to investigate and analyze the improvement in technical feasibility under two objectives namely development of the prototype dyeing machines from local dyeing method and comparative quality of dyed silk from the prototype dyeing with that standard infrared dyer. According to disadvantages learned from selected local dyeing groups in the Northeastern region, the first prototype dyeing machine was simply constructed to improve in context of labour and energy saving. With remaining flaws in excessive water use and high heat loss, the second prototype dyeing machine was then developed to eliminate such limitation by improving improving dyeing container and heat control systems, The study was made at the Department of Home Economics, Faculty of Agriculture, Kasetsart University during 2007 to 2009. And then was found that comparative qualities of obtained dyed silk yarn were much improved in most experimental indicators including colour values, colourfastness to laundering and dyeing reproducibility. The quality of dyed silk yarn was also significantly closer to that dyed from the standard infrared machine and was thus confirmed that development of prototype dyeing machines could possibly lead to improvement of dyed silk yarn quality. The study, however, suggested that further improvement in prototype dyeing machine still be needed through more effective systems including less water use, diversified container sizes, local labour and energy saving as well as heat loss prevention. Overall technical innovation should also be based upon the environmental friendly direction while providing learning opportunity and utilizing local wisdom of the local Thai dyers at the same time. |
