Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for regenerating a pressure filter in which the liquid to be filtered is flown through a filter medium arranged in such a way as to partition the interior of the filter housing into a pressure chamber adapted to receive the liquid to be filtered and into a filtrate receiving chamber from which the filtrate is discharged, wherein, for the purpose of regenerating the filter, the introduction of liquid is interrupted, this step being accompanied by the introduction of a pressurized gas into the pressure chamber of the filter in order substantially completely to remove from the filter both the liquid not yet filtered and the filtrate still present, and wherein, upon completion of the emptying step, the introduction of pressurized gas into the pressure chamber of the filter is interrupted and the filter medium on its side facing the pressure chamber is washed by means of a washing medium, this step being accompanied by the introduction of a pressurized gas into the filtrate receiving c

Abstract: Objects in long lengths such as strip, wire, rod, sections or fibres which have been surface treated in a preceding step are, according to the present invention, liberated from entrained surface treating agent or agents by a method for stripping off said agent or agents, washing and drying said objects, said method being performed continuously and the individual steps viz. the stripping off, the washing and the drying taking place sequentially against the feeding direction of the object in question. Also an apparatus for performing the method is described. The apparatus includes a fluid inlet assembly and a fluid discharge assembly, there being a passage through said assemblies through which the object can pass in an object-feeding direction. Liquid is discharged through a jet nozzle, which surrounds the object, in an opposite direction. The liquid is recirculated, and can be transferred to a station which is prior in treatment.
