After a digital socks printer applies the artwork, the socks still need to be washed, dewatered, heat- or steam-fixed, and dried. Ningbo Colorido’s pretreatment and finishing equipment covers every step after printing, so a single supplier can deliver the complete print-to-ship production line.
Pair ovens, steamers, washers, spin dryers and tumble dryers with Ningbo Colorido sock printers for a continuous workflow.
High-temperature ovens fix disperse ink on polyester; low-temperature ovens and steamers fix reactive ink on cotton.
208/304 stainless-steel chambers and liners resist corrosion, clean easily and stand up to long-term high-temperature use.
From a 1.5KW benchtop oven to 30KW production ovens and 30–40 kg washers and dryers, sized to your output plan.
Ningbo Colorido’s pretreatment and finishing equipment turns freshly printed socks into finished, market-ready goods. The lineup includes continuous-chain and benchtop polyester ovens, a low-temperature cotton oven, an industrial steamer, a tumble dryer, a horizontal washing machine and a centrifugal spin dryer — each matched to a specific step in the workflow.
Because every machine is built around stainless-steel construction, precise temperature control and factory-grade electrical and safety systems, the equipment supports stable, repeatable production for custom socks, sleeves and other tubular textiles. Match the machine to your fiber, output and available power, and combine units into a complete wash — dewater — fix — dry line.

Reference values are based on available model records and may vary with mode, fabric, artwork, operator workflow and final configuration. Larger-capacity and customized dimensions are available on request; confirm all order-specific fields before purchase.
Source the printer together with the washer, spin dryer, oven or steamer and tumble dryer from one supplier, so every step of the workflow is matched and supported.
Digital PID controllers deliver temperature accuracy of around ±1°C and uniform cavity heating, so disperse and reactive inks fix fully and consistently.
208 and 304 stainless-steel chambers and liners resist corrosion, clean easily and withstand long-term high-temperature and humid operation.
From a compact 220V benchtop oven to 30KW production units, with customizable chain length, rack size and multiple capacity tiers to fit your output plan.

After printing with reactive ink, cotton socks move through a repeatable finishing route to develop and lock in the color before packing.
Pre-dry printed socks in the COHE-1803 low-temperature oven to remove surface moisture before fixation.
Develop the reactive ink with saturated steam in the COST-1802 steamer for full, even color fixation.
Wash off unfixed dye and sizing in the CO-XPG30 horizontal washer for clean, colorfast results.
Finish with the COHE-130 tumble dryer for timed, uniform drying ready for inspection and packing.
Ningbo Colorido pretreatment equipment moves printed socks through a repeatable sequence from washing to final drying, with the fixation route chosen by fiber type.
The CO-XPG30 horizontal washer cleans or scours socks and garments with controlled time and temperature, using a 304 stainless-steel drum and forward/reverse rotation for even results.
The CO753-600 spin dryer removes surface moisture at 960 r/min on a three-legged suspended frame, cutting drying time and energy before the next step.
Polyester socks pass through a high-temperature oven (COHE-1801 / COHE-150 / COHE-1802); cotton socks use the low-temperature COHE-1803 oven or the COST-1802 steamer to develop the ink.
The COHE-130 tumble dryer completes the line with automatic timed drying, giving finished socks ready for inspection and packing.

Pretreatment and finishing equipment covers the machines that prepare printed socks for market after digital printing: washing machines to clean or scour, spin dryers to dewater, ovens to heat-fix disperse or reactive inks, steamers for steam fixation, and tumble dryers to finish drying. Together they complete the print-to-ship workflow.
Polyester socks are printed with disperse ink and fixed with high-temperature hot-air ovens such as the COHE-1801, COHE-150 and COHE-1802 (up to about 190–200°C). Cotton socks use reactive or pigment inks that fix at lower temperatures, so the COHE-1803 cotton oven runs at +10~85°C, or the COST-1802 steamer uses steam fixation at +10~105°C.
Yes. The ovens, steamers, dryers, washing machines and spin dryers are designed as downstream ancillary devices on the sock-printer production line and can be paired with Ningbo Colorido socks printers such as the CO80-210PRO, CO60-100PRO and CO80-600DK to form a continuous print-to-finish workflow.
Ningbo Colorido offers the COHE-130 sock dryer (30 kg, steam heating), the CO753-600 centrifugal spin dryer (40 kg, 960 r/min) and the CO-XPG30 industrial washing machine (30 kg). They can be combined into a wash — dewater — dry finishing line, with larger capacity options available on request.
Most industrial units run on three-phase power (380V/240V, 50~60Hz), while the compact COHE-150 benchtop oven uses single-phase 220V mains. Heating power ranges from 1.5KW (COHE-150) to 30KW (COHE-1802, COHE-1803, COST-1802). Confirm site power and steam conditions before ordering.
Yes. The ovens use 208 or 304 stainless-steel chambers, the cotton oven and steamer are built entirely of 304 stainless steel, and the dryer, washer and spin dryer use 304 stainless-steel liners that are smooth, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean for long-term operation.
Yes. Several models support customization — for example the COHE-1802 chain conveyor length (standard 6 meters) and the COST-1802 steamer and rack size can be tailored, and the dryer, washer and spin dryer series offer multiple capacity tiers. Share your output plan for a tailored recommendation.
Yes. Ningbo Colorido offers commissioning, operator training and after-sales service, including remote assistance and on-site support for bulk purchases. Contact Joan@coloridoprinter.com to discuss installation, configuration and maintenance.
Selection depends on your sock material (polyester vs cotton), daily output, available floor space, and power or steam supply. Tell us your product mix and production target and our team will recommend a matched oven, steamer, washer, spin dryer and dryer configuration, plus a sample test to validate the full workflow.
