Benninger Showcases Advanced Fabric Dyeing Technologies for Diverse Textile Applications at India ITME 2026
FabricMaster, SynthMaster and CPB Knit solutions address complex woven and knitted fabric requirements while supporting lower water, energy and chemical consumption.
Benninger is presenting its latest dyeing and wet processing technologies at India ITME 2026, focusing on the growing requirements of Indian textile manufacturers for efficient processing, consistent dyeing quality and reduced resource consumption. The company's FabricMaster, SynthMaster and CPB Knit systems are designed to handle a wide range of demanding textile materials, including sportswear, heavy jersey, sensitive synthetic blends and high-value underwear fabrics.
Based in Uzwil, Switzerland, Benninger supplies systems for continuous wet processing and discontinuous dyeing. Its solutions address the challenges faced by dyehouses as they manage increasing fabric diversity, shorter production cycles and demands for improved resource efficiency.
Benninger FabricMaster: Flexible Dyeing for Sportswear and Heavy Jersey
Discontinuous dyeing requires machinery capable of handling different fabric constructions while maintaining consistent colour quality and controlling processing costs. Manufacturers increasingly need to switch between fabric types without extending production cycles or increasing water and energy consumption.
Benninger's FabricMaster jet dyeing machine is designed for processing both woven and knitted fabrics without rope marks, including materials that can be difficult to handle on conventional machines.
Its applications include heat-set polyester sportswear, smooth viscose-elastane blends and heavy 20s cotton jersey.
The machine combines intelligent liquor circulation, efficient liquor penetration, high rope speeds and gentle fabric transportation. These features support shorter processing times while helping reduce water and energy consumption, allowing mills to process a broader range of fabric qualities.
Benninger SynthMaster: Processing Sensitive Fabrics Without Compression Marks
The SynthMaster is developed for textile materials that are particularly sensitive to compression during dyeing.
Nylon-elastane blends, high-value viscose-wool underwear fabrics and non-heat-set polyester articles, in both knitted and woven constructions, can develop compression marks during processing. These marks may remain visible in the finished fabric.
Benninger's horizontal jet dyeing concept enables smooth, tension-free fabric movement while maintaining consistent processing conditions throughout the machine. This helps prevent compression marks on the processed material.
Its nozzle technology and optimised chamber design allow operation at low liquor ratios, contributing to reduced water and energy consumption.
The machine's compact footprint also enables manufacturers to utilise existing production space more efficiently, particularly when expanding capacity within established facilities.
The SynthMaster shares key components with the FabricMaster, providing compatibility between the two machine platforms and simplifying maintenance and operational requirements.
Benninger CPB Knit: Salt-Free Dyeing with Reduced Water Consumption
Benninger's Cold-Pad-Batch system, CPB Knit, is designed for resource-efficient dyeing of knitted fabrics.
The system offers salt-free dyeing with water consumption of less than one litre per kilogram. It also features tension-free and non-curling fabric transportation, requires no biopolishing and achieves high dyestuff yield.
A central component is its padding mangle, equipped with two Küsters S-rolls. Their nip profiles are adapted to individual fabric and processing requirements, supporting level dyeing without listing or tailing.
The compact system also incorporates a dyeing trough that swivels downwards and backwards, improving machine accessibility and operator safety.
Integrated Technologies for Sustainable Textile Processing
Benninger's expertise covers both continuous and discontinuous dyeing and finishing technologies. Its systems incorporate processes intended to reduce water, energy and chemical consumption while improving processing stability.
Additional technologies offered by the company include:
- Automated liquid dispensing systems.
- Powder dissolving and distribution systems.
- Wastewater heat recovery.
- Caustic soda recovery for mercerising ranges.
These technologies address resource consumption across different stages of textile wet processing and finishing.
Benninger to Present Dyeing Solutions at India ITME 2026
With more than 165 years of experience in textile machinery, Benninger continues to focus on the processing requirements of dyehouses and textile finishing plants.
The company combines Swiss engineering and process expertise with customer collaboration and its presence in India to support textile manufacturers in improving production efficiency and finished fabric quality.
At the upcoming India ITME 2026, visitors can explore the company's dyeing and finishing technologies and discuss their processing requirements with its technical experts.
Benninger will be exhibiting at Booth D1F2, Hall 3.
