Equipment
Small yardage dyeing. 29 of our dyeing machines were meticulously designed, engineered, fabricated, and assembled in the United States. Custom-developed by our expert technical team, each machine is tailored to meet the precise requirements necessary to produce highly accurate color matches, catering to the most demanding sectors of the textile and fashion industries. Optimized for producing highly accurate color matches on 3-13 yards of fabric, these machines are also capable of generating precision-matched colors used as color standards. These standards are distributed by our customers to their mills worldwide, ensuring consistency and precision throughout their global supply chain.
Advanced Lab Dips and Color engineering. Our color laboratory is equipped with new technology to provide exceptional lab dips and engineering colors. We use the latest Datacolor Spectrophotometer, color match software, light booths, and launderometers to achieve precise and consistent color results.
High-Temperature/High-Pressure Jet Dyeing Machine. Metro Dyeing operates five advanced high-temperature, high-pressure jet dyeing machines, engineered to dye up to 110 pounds of fabric per batch with exceptional precision and color consistency. Designed for polyester, lace dyeing, blends, nylon, and other synthetic fibers, our jet dyeing systems deliver deep, vibrant, and fully saturated colors. Using a low-liquor-ratio dyeing process, we achieve maximum dye penetration, and reduced water and energy consumption. This technology ensures even shade distribution, and excellent colorfastness.
The result is laboratory-level accuracy at production scale, making Metro Dyeing a trusted partner for precision color development, bulk fabric dyeing, and technical textile finishing.
Bulk Fabric Dyeing: For large production fabric dyeing, our machines are capable of processing up to 3,000 yards of fabric. This capability allows us to handle large orders efficiently while maintaining top-quality dyeing standards.
Ultra Delicate Garment Dyeing Machines: Our facility includes both small capacity and large capacity ultra delicate garment dyeing machines. These machines are ergonomically designed for minimal water, dye, and energy consumption. They are equipped with semi-automated control systems and innovative technologies to replicate exact dye recipes, ensuring consistent results with every batch.
Stenter Frame – Precision Heat Setting & Finishing
Our newly installed stenter frame brings advanced width control, heat setting, and dimensional stabilization capabilities to Metro Dyeing. This professional-grade equipment allows us to simulate full-scale production finishing on even the smallest yardages — ideal for sampling, color palettes, small production, and showroom development.
- Heat sets and tensions fabrics for consistent width and shape retention
- Minimizes shrinkage and distortion for spandex, technical, and blended fabrics
- Delivers a smoother hand feel and enhanced drape
- Specialty finishes such as water-repellent, wrinkle-free, anti-microbial, flame retardants, and more
- Finished goods are rolled on tubes and returned ready for cutting or further processing
- Low minimums: as little as 25 yards
Proudly made in the USA, this addition expands our ability to support fast-turn development and production with exceptional quality and reliability.
Water
Stable Water is the Foundation of Our Colors. Municipal water is commonly treated with chlorine, chloramine, or chlorine dioxide to eliminate parasites, bacteria, and viruses. However, chlorine levels in municipal water fluctuate based on the time of year and water testing results, leading to instability that can affect precision color matching. Additionally, tiny grains of organic materials, known as sediment, can further compromise water consistency. To ensure precision and consistency in every color match, we filter and soften 100% of our water. Our factory utilizes state-of-the-art industrial water softeners and filters to remove chlorine, chloramine, and sediment from the water supply. Our technicians conduct thorough water testing three times daily—in the morning, afternoon, and evening—to maintain the highest standards of water quality. By employing this rigorous water treatment process, we guarantee that our colors are always precise and consistent, meeting the exacting standards of our customers. Experience the difference stable water makes in achieving the perfect color match.
