  • Patent number: 8746018
    Abstract: An apparatus for the treatment of strand-shaped textile products in the form of a continuous material strand which is circulated at least during part of the treatment, includes an elongated, essentially tubular treatment container and a transport nozzle array that can be charged with a gaseous transport medium stream. In the treatment container is arranged, adjoining a material strand inlet, a storage section for receiving a piled-up material strand package is provided with a sliding floor that is inclined, at least in sections, in a manner descending from a pile-up unit toward a head part of the treatment container. Charge elements are provided at least in the region of the transport nozzle array to charge the material strand with a liquid treatment agent.

  • Patent number: 7886390
    Abstract: An apparatus for wet-processing strand-shaped textile good, includes a closed container, a transport nozzle array to which a gaseous transport medium can be supplied, and a device for applying a liquid treatment agent in atomized form to the moving strand of goods in the region of the transport nozzle arrangement. The device for the application of the treatment agent is designed to apply the treatment agent to the strand of goods in two sections (I, III), which are at a distance from each other in transport direction of the strand of goods, in a form enclosing the strand of goods at least partially in a ring-shaped manner. In so doing, the gaseous transport medium is applied to the strand of goods in an intermediate region (II) located between said two sections.

  • Publication number: 20070074354
    Abstract: In a method for uniform application of treatment agents to a textile rope in a dyeing machine, the endless rope is made to revolve in a closed tank by means of a Venturi feed nozzle subjected to a gaseous feeder medium, and is thus exposed to the action of a liquid treatment agent. The treatment agent is stored, without contact with the rope, in a chamber that is separate from the rope and is made to act on the rope, without mixing with treatment agent draining from the rope, with a quantity of treatment agent per unit of time that is controlled as a function of time.
