The technical impact of manual dosing in profitability
The non-automated management of chemical products is one of the main variables of instability in the current textile industry. Lack of control in weighing and distribution creates critical operational risks:
- Chromatic instability: Deviations in auxiliary measurement cause variations in bath depletion, resulting in pitch differences between batches and costly reprocessing.
- Extra cost due to excess product: The absence of an exact flow cut results in a higher chemical consumption than stipulated in the original recipe.
- Logistics saturation: Manual management creates bottlenecks that limit the responsiveness of dyeing machines.
- Commitment to occupational safety: Direct handling of chemical substances increases the risk of incidents in the plant.
Precision and centralized distribution
TecnoDos integrates an engineering infrastructure designed for the collection, measurement and transportation of fluids from storage to the point of final consumption.
Operation and key components:
- Drive by trilobular pump: The system uses high-efficiency volumetric pumping technology to extract product from storage tanks.
- Distribution using smart collector: The products are channeled to the different machines through a system of collectors that guarantees the integrity of the fluid.
- Modular scalability: Its design allows a personalized configuration according to the production volume, facilitating the expansion of the number of dosing points without the need to redesign the base infrastructure.
Optimize the performance of your plant without compromise your finances
The transition to an automated dosing model translates into quantifiable efficiency metrics that directly impact the operating balance.
Centralization of storage eliminates internal drum logistics, clearing production areas and improving cleaning protocols.
Reduce downtime by streamlining processes and optimizing production capacity.
Data analysis in active installations shows a amortization of the investment over a period of 12 to 18 months, derived exclusively from savings on products and the elimination of budget items intended to correct dyeing errors.
The system is integrated into the productive ecosystem without interrupting existing lines, allowing a staggered technological transition.
A machine that adapts to the most specific processes
For processes requiring granular control of chemical components or dedicated dye management, TecnoDos allows the integration of peripheral modules designed for specific high-precision tasks.
Microdosing Module
Control in reduced volumes
This module has been developed for the management of auxiliary products that must be incorporated into the recipe in minimal quantities without margin for error. Its technical architecture ensures uniform distribution and absolute repeatability in critical applications.
- Drive technology: It incorporates a 0.33 HP servo-controlled industrial peristaltic pump.
- Operating range: Optimized to accurately dose volumes up to 200 cc.
- Technical value: Servo control allows dynamic flow adjustment, ensuring that even the smallest quantities are integrated homogeneously into the production line, avoiding product concentration peaks.
Single-product module
Dedicated supply of dyes
Specifically designed for the automation of shipping liquid dyes through a single, dedicated line. This system centralizes the transfer of the product from the warehouse to the dyeing machines, eliminating intermediate handling.
- Transfer mechanics: The product is aspirated using a high-performance centrifugal pump, sized to maintain a constant and stable flow.
- Flow monitoring: It uses a high-precision liter counter that acts as a control node, verifying in real time that the quantity sent strictly matches the parameters of the digital recipe.
- Operational objective: Optimize dye loading times and guarantee that there are no volumetric deviations that affect the solidity or final tone of the textile process.
Integrate it with TecnoFill and automate the system product storage
TecnoFill revolutionizes the management of liquid chemicals thanks to its innovative tank storage system with automated level control. This solution allows real-time monitoring of the level of each tank, facilitating precise inventory control.
Connected Ecosystem: Native integration of TecnoDos with InfoTint
The efficiency of TecnoDos is enhanced through its direct integration with InfoTint, the comprehensive management platform (MES) designed specifically for the textile industry. This connection transforms dosing hardware into an intelligent information node, eliminating the gap between administrative planning and plant execution.
Centralized Management of Recipes and Processes
Synchronization with InfoTint allows manufacturing orders and recipes to be sent directly to the TecnoDos system without manual intervention. This ensures that the dosage executed is exactly as planned in the laboratory, guaranteeing the integrity of each batch.
Benefits of Real-Time Monitoring:
- Total Consumption Traceability: The system records every milliliter and gram dosed, automatically linking it to a specific manufacturing order. This allows us to know the real consumption of chemicals compared to the theoretical expected.
- Control of Operating Costs: InfoTint processes the data captured by TecnoDos to offer detailed cost reports per process, allowing economic deviations to be identified immediately.
- Inventory Optimization: Two-way communication allows constant updating of the stock of chemical and auxiliary products, facilitating purchase planning and avoiding stops due to lack of supplies.
- Diagnosis and Predictive Maintenance: The platform monitors the status of TecnoDos components, alerting about maintenance needs before a breakdown occurs, maximizing plant uptime.
Interoperability with ERP TexDrive
Beyond plant management, the binomial TecnoDos-InfoTint acts as a data bridge to TexDrive. This open data architecture facilitates strategic decision making based on the actual performance of the dry cleaner, integrating production into the company's financial strategy.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Absolutely. TecnoDos has been designed with an open architecture that allows it to integrate with dyeing machines from any manufacturer and year. Communication is carried out using standard industrial protocols, which allows dosing to be centralized throughout the plant, regardless of the age of its machinery park.
While volumetric dosing may fail due to variations in product temperature or density, the gravimetric control by load cells from TecnoDos measures the actual weight. This ensures 99.9% accuracy on each shipment, ensuring the recipe is executed with surgical accuracy and eliminating color deviations between batches.
TecnoDos incorporates an advanced system collectors with automatic self-cleaning cycles. After each dosing, the circuit is purged and cleaned to ensure that no residue of the previous product remains. This allows a single distribution line to be used for multiple auxiliaries without risk of unwanted chemical reactions or contamination of the dye bath.
Our clients report a average savings of between 15% and 25% in the consumption of chemical products. This savings comes from three ways: the elimination of manual overdosing, the drastic reduction of dyeing errors (reprocesses) and the optimization of fluid transport that prevents the product from becoming stagnant in the pipes.
Yes. TecnoDos is a key piece of the Industry 4.0. It integrates natively with our platform InfoTint and it can be synchronized with your company's ERP. This allows you to have full traceability: you will know exactly how much product has been spent, in what manufacturing order and what the real cost of each process is in real time.
