Pyrotec⁴
A global leader in infra-red dyeing technology
Roaches machines meet specifications set by leading retailers such as:
The Pyrotec⁴ is a state of the art laboratory dyeing machine using quartz high efficiency heating and Forced Air cooling system which is totally controlled by a microprocessor controller.
Pyrotec⁴ is a global leader in infra-red dyeing technology and is fully endorsed by major dye stuff and auxiliary chemical suppliers as their model of choice.
Pyrotec⁴ is fully compatible with the AD-Chem dosing system. This simple yet effective device allows a liquid product to be introduced into the dye tube in a controlled manner.
Ad-Chem allows the laboratory process to better replicate the bulk dye process.
Pyrotec⁴ has an extensive range of dye tube sizes and will process up to 24 tubes in a single dye cycle. If you value your lab-dip efficiency and performance then Pyrotec⁴ is a must for your colour development laboratory.

Pyrotec⁴ has a robust construction with a coated mild steel exterior shell and a high grade stainless steel interior chamber, tube
carrier and tubes.
– Highly efficient air cooling system, removing the necessity for connection to water supply and drainage
– Factory set maximum temperature level with audible alarm
– A totally independent quartz high efficiency heating system
– Door locking mechanism to disable carrier rotation and machine heating
9 dye tube sizes are available, with a machine capacity from 1 tube to 24 tubes in the machine at any one time
Pyrotec⁴ includes the Roaches digital micro-processing controller. This intuitive technology ensures minimal training for technicians and highly accurate process control.
Programming options are simple and easy to input, these are pictorial so there is no need for multiple language settings.
Pyrotec⁴ provides a temperature range from 40°C (ambient) to 135°C for maximum substrate and dye cycle conformity.
– System control and temperature calibration accuracy +/-1°C
– Temperature control with a +/-0.25°C accuracy
– Maximum heating gradient at 3°C/min up to 135°C
– Maximum cooling gradient at 3°C/min from 135°C to 70°C (ambient temp 18°C)
Total control for time, temperature and rotation speed provides the ideal parameters to produce the perfect lab-dip.
What is lab dip dyeing?
Lab-dip is the process employed by a colour laboratory, sample dyeing laboratory or main dye-house to provide a small but accurate colour reproduction for a customer’s colour requirement (and subsequent colour approval) using the specified substrate. Lab-dip also provides a guide to the necessary dyes and chemicals required to dye larger samples and bulk quantities of the fibre, yarn, fabric or garment. Lab-dip is the first step in the chain to ensure the correct colour fastness requirement is achieved.
What are the benefits of infrared heating?
IR heating provides the most economical, accurate, clean and versatile process route. IR dyeing technology is capable of heating a suitably pressured canister (for dyeing polyester) at 140°C.
What type of textiles can be dyed using lab dip technology?
All textiles can be dyed using lab-dip technology, in fact this is essential as it is the first link in the supply chain to ensure that the final customer achieves the desired colour with all the desired colour fastness performance. Dependent on the type of substrate it may be necessary to utilise different types of lab-dip technology.
