Jigger dyeing machine

Jigger dyeing machine is the most commonly used for dyeing all kinds of cotton fabric. There are mainly two types of jigger dyeing machine. One is open jigger dyeing machine and other is closed jigger dyeing machine. It is one of the oldest types of machine for dyeing woven fabrics, which must not be creased during dyeing, for example, most taffetas, satins, poplins, ducks, and suiting.
