Ramen Mooken, a researcher and inventor with a strong interest in sustainability, has designed a new eco-friendly machine for textile dyeing.
His concept, called “free migration reactive dyeing,” aims to revolutionize the conventional methods of textile dyeing.
With 25 years of experience in the textile dyeing industry, Mooken has gained in-depth knowledge of the traditional dyeing processes and the environmental challenges they pose.
Concerned about the environmental impact of conventional dyeing methods, Mooken embarked on a personal mission to develop a more eco-friendly solution.
Unlike traditional methods that use up to 4000 liters of water to dye 200 pieces of fabric, Mooken’s machine only requires 200 liters of water for the same quantity.
This not only saves water but also reduces the ecological footprint, he explained.
“The machine also reduces the use of dyeing chemicals by approximately 75%.
It is easy to build, requires minimal maintenance, and can be operated by someone with basic training without the need for expensive costs, making it more competitive,” Mooken added.
After 20 years of research and calculations involving chemical, mathematical, physical, technical, and ecological implications, Mooken successfully developed the machine.
He is currently seeking a sponsor to help manufacture the machine and showcase it at an upcoming textile exhibition in Germany, Techtextil, scheduled for April 23-26.
“I’m not doing this for myself. It’s for our country and for the advancement of the ecological cause,” he affirmed.
