  • Patent number: 7578152
    Abstract: A Wet processing machine for rope-formed textile product comprises a closed vessel and a Venturi-Transport jet system, which can be impinged to a transport medium current, in order to drive an endless fabric rope circulating in the vessel in a pre-determined rotation context. The transport jet system has a nozzle annular gap through which the transport medium flows, which is restricted on the one side by a nozzle cone with a passage channel. Winding devices are provided upstream of the transport jet system in the fabric rope movement path. Further, devices are available, which serve the application of a processing liquor on the fabric rope in a segment of the fabric rope movement path, which lies between the area of the winding device and the nozzle annular gap of the transport jet system.

  • Patent number: 7454931
    Abstract: This is a device or equipment for treating the textile fabric shaped like a rope and it has a container and a transport nozzle system for the textile fabric. The transport nozzle systems have at least two separate transport nozzles arranged one beside the other axially, for each one of the respective rope-materials, whereby the transport nozzles are placed in a common transport-medium (medium of transport) distribution equipment. The transport-medium (medium of transport) distribution equipment is connected to a transport-medium (medium of transport) circulating equipment, and it contains the inlet for the transport-medium (medium of transport) of the transport-nozzles along with a space/room for impingement of the transport-medium i.e., medium of transport.

  • Patent number: 7398574
    Abstract: In a method for treating ropelike textile goods in a closed container that contains at least two axially adjacent J-boxes for receiving textile goods during at least part of the treatment time, a driving motion in a feeding direction is imparted to the textile goods, by means of a gaseous flow of feeding medium made to act on the rope via feed nozzle means. The textile goods, before entering each J-box, pass through separate feed nozzle means assigned to that J-box. Upon exiting from these feed nozzle means, the textile goods are introduced selectively into the respective associated first J-box or a second J-box adjacent to this J-box, or in the case of at least one J-box are conducted along a predetermined path, which carries the textile goods away from this J-box.

  • Publication number: 20060180182
    Abstract: Under a process or a device for rinsing/flushing of rope-formed textile product JET-processing Machines, the textile product in the form of an endless fabric rope is put in rotation through a Venturi-Nozzle in a vessel by means of a gaseous transport medium. The flushing/rinsing is done with the rinsing liquid brought on the fabric rope in the fabric rope movement direction before and/or in and/or after the nozzle. In the process, the rinsing liquid application per time-unit and/or the speed of the fabric rope rotation is controlled based on the product-specific data of the textile article and/or on machine-specific and/or process-specific data.

  • Publication number: 20060053841
    Abstract: A beam dyeing machine has a beam in a vessel and is place in such a manner that it can be detached, which is equipped for acceptance of a wound structure or body made of textile products. An expansion and retrieval chamber is provided in the vessel in an area which is separated from the section of the vessel containing the beam with the wound structure/body.

  • Publication number: 20060051509
    Abstract: In a process and a device i.e., an equipment, meant for uniform coating of a medium of treatment on a rope-material inside a closed chamber, the rope-material which is located inside a container and which is in the form of a (closed) loop is set in circular motion by means of a venturi-type nozzle, on which a gaseous transport medium impinges. In the process, the rope-material is exposed to a liquid medium of treatment which is stored in a separate chamber without coming in contact with the rope-material. The medium of treatment is coated on the running rope-material from this chamber. The coating of the rope-material is controlled in a time-dependent manner for a unit of time.
