Advanced system for the preparation of solutions in industrial dry cleaning
Efficiency in the dyeing process directly depends on the precision in the preparation of colorants and auxiliaries. TecnoMix is EAS's solution designed to automate color cooking, ensuring that each blend strictly meets recipe and colorant family parameters.
This system not only optimizes preparation time, but eliminates human variability, ensuring exact repeatability in each production batch.
Optimize your dye production with one state-of-the-art textile kitchen
The implementation of TecnoMix in the textile production chain directly addresses critical inefficiencies that compromise profitability and safety in the preparation of solutions.
- Precise and uniform mixes: You will always have the perfect color mix ready, with the same consistency, following the exact parameters of the recipe that allows you to repeat the process consistently.
- Integrated barcode: TecnoMix incorporates a barcode confirmation system, making it easier to scan the recipe to be processed.
- Automatic cleaning system: It integrates precise self-cleaning cycles after each preparation allowing the colorful kitchen to maintain a constant production rate.
- Advanced security system: Its lid with automatic opening allows you to work with greater safety and ergonomics, guaranteeing safety in the plant.
High-precision automatic colorant preparations.
TecnoMix is an intelligent dissolution system for the automation of the textile plant, designed under strict standards of precision and high durability. This equipment optimizes the preparation and dosing of chemical products through a modular and robust structure
Modular Configuration
Configurable with up to 3 tanks (250, 500, and 750 liters) made of AISI-316L stainless steel with an internal mirror-finish and safety lid.
Integrated automation
Include a stainless steel AISI-304 electrical cabinet with the PCT-315 controller Atlantis and a barcode validation system to ensure total process control.
Agitation and control
Each tank incorporates a stirrer with variable frequency drive speed control and an advanced valve system for filling and transferring products.
Integrate it with InfoTint for total operational optimization
The operational power of TecnoMix reaches its maximum performance when integrated with InfoTint, the comprehensive production management software developed by EAS. This connection eliminates information silos between the laboratory, the color kitchen, and the dyeing machines, optimizing the workflow through three pillars:
- Error-free automation: Recipes and production orders are transmitted directly to TecnoMix, eliminating manual data entry. The system automatically recognizes the parameters of the active order, and the operator validates them via barcode when introducing the colorants, ensuring an integral and secure transfer of information.
- Direct synchronization: InfoTint coordinates the preparation times of TecnoMix in real time with the availability of the dyeing machines. Once the dissolution is finished and validated, the mixture is automatically sent to the corresponding team, ensuring that it arrives at the exact moment of the cycle.
- Remote Monitoring: From the centralized interface of InfoTint, production managers monitor in real time the status of all preparations in TecnoMix without needing to be physically present in the dyeing plant.
Innovation in sustainability
Water-soluble bags
TecnoMix incorporates technology compatible with the use of water-soluble bags for dye management. This method allows weighing to be introduced directly into the mixing tank, offering critical operational advantages:
- Zero Waste: Total elimination of contaminated containers and traces of dust in the work environment.
- Weighing Accuracy: The heavy dye dissolves completely without loss due to adhesion in the transfer containers.
- Occupational Safety: Minimizes operator exposure to airborne particles and direct contact with chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions about TecnoMix (FAQ)
The TecnoMix system is modular and adapts to different production scales. Currently, we offer standard configurations with capabilities of 250, 500 and 750 liters. This variety allows the equipment to be sized according to the volume of its dyeing machines and the concentration of the usual recipes.
The integrity of each color is guaranteed by a programmable self-cleaning cycle after each shipment. The tank design, constructed of high-quality stainless steel, and agitation system eliminate dead spots where residue could remain, ensuring that the next batch maintains its absolute colorimetric purity.
Yes. TecnoMix is designed to work in total sync with TecnoDos (dosing system for liquid auxiliary products). The system can automatically receive the chemicals needed for dissolution, eliminating manual loading and ensuring the chemical/dye ratio is accurate based on the recipe.
TecnoMix is optimized for processing water-soluble bags, which allows the heavy dye to be introduced directly without opening the container. This not only ensures that 100% of the pigment reaches the mixture (avoiding shrinkage), but also keeps the plant environment free of dust and protects the respiratory health of operators.
The system incorporates a barcode reader required to start the process. TecnoMix will not activate the preparation cycle unless the scanned product code matches the work order issued by the management software, blocking any incorrect mixing attempts.
The equipment allows precise control of the temperature of the mixing water. This is critical for certain dyes that require specific thermal ranges for complete and stable dissolution, avoiding the formation of lumps or precipitates that could cause stains on the fabric.
Optimize your colorful kitchen with precision technology
Automation is the definitive step towards industry 4.0 in the textile sector. If you are looking to reduce dye consumption, improve the safety of your equipment and ensure the quality of your finishes, TecnoMix is the essential component of your infrastructure.
