The document discusses jet dyeing machines and soft flow dyeing machines. It notes that jet dyeing machines were developed in the 1970s to overcome problems with winch machines. Jet dyeing machines transport fabric through a closed tube using a jet of dye liquor, creating turbulence to aid dye penetration without the fabric touching tube walls. Soft flow dyeing machines continuously circulate both dye bath and fabric throughout processing to reduce time and water usage compared to conventional batch dyeing.
