Abstract: A pressure treatment roller includes a roller core and a casing tube supported on the roller core by a central support. A first intermediate space and a second intermediate space are defined on both axial sides of the central support. The intermediate spaces are each disposed between the roller core and the casing tube. The casing tube has bores interior of its outer surface. The bores are connected to a supply for a heat transfer fluid.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuously treating a web of fabric in a first treatment section and a second treatment section through which the web of fabric passes. The first treatment section includes a desizing station. The desizing station includes an application stage having a plurality of spray nozzles, a dwell stage, a mechanical liquid removal device and a wash stage. A first return conduit fluidly connects the wash stage to the application stage. The method includes applying a size containing size carrier on the web of fabric to desize the web of fabric. The size containing size carrier is removed from the web of fabric after the size carrier has taken effect upon the web of fabric. At least a portion of the removed size containing size carrier is added to the size carrier solution before the solution is applied to an upstream portion of the web of fabric.

Abstract: A roll for the pressure treatment of cloth webs comprising: a stationary beam, a shell mounted for rotation relatively to the beam, support elements for equalizing roll shell deflection, and a biasing system so acting on the support elements that the same apply a radial force to the shell, is characterised in that a clamping formation consisting of a number of adjacent conical rings which extend in the direction of the roll beam and of a number of clamping rings which are disposed between the conical rings and which are adjacent the shell is provided, is mounted axially and can be acted on by an axial force which is so deflected in the clamping formation that the same applies a radial force to the shell.

Abstract: Apparatus for the treatment, particularly bleaching, washing, dyeing, boiling, desizing, mercerizing, etc.

Abstract: Apparatus for expelling and/or withdrawing moisture from, or for admitting moisture to, a running web of paper or textile material has rolls which define one or more nips for the running web and at least one of which has a stack of washer-like funnel-shaped absorbent discs compressed between two end walls one of which has an outwardly bulging frustoconical surface and the other of which has an inwardly bulging frustoconical surface. The discs surround a core of stainless steel and their density in the region of the core is highest due to the provision of funnel-shaped elastomeric inserts which surround the core and whose thickness decreases in a direction from the core toward the external surface of the roll. Such roll renders it possible to operate with a stack of discs whose hardness at the periphery of the roll is relatively low in spite of a substantial nip pressure, or to operate with a very pronounced nip pressure at a given hardness in the region of the peripheral surface.

Abstract: A friction-driven roll comprises a stationary roll core with a supporting tube disposed over the roll core and a jacket tube rotatably mounted on the supporting tube. A plurality of elastic distension bodies are disposed between the roll core and the supporting tube and antifriction bearings are arranged between the supporting tube and the jacket tube. The supporting tube comprises a plurality of link sleeves arranged end to end with a joint therebetween and with a coupling sleeve embracing each two embracing link sleeves and the joints therebetween. The distension bodies comprise hollow fluid pressure cushions which are connected individually to fluid pressure supply.

Abstract: A method for continuously treating strand-like textile material which is transported horizontally in vertical loops, by way of transverse rods or bars, through a treatment liquid, particularly a hot mixture of liquids; the formation of the loops occurs by way of vertical flow. The loop formation, the maintaining of the formed loop, the form or shape stability thereof, as well as the horizontal movement thereof are effected by transverse rods or bars, which are arranged in the lower loop bends and in the vicinity of the container bottom move from the textile strand inlet or entry side of the textile strand outlet or discharge side, and by a flow directed upwardly between the transverse rods or bars; the horizontal movement is aided by a horizontal transverse flow of the treatment liquid.

Abstract: An apparatus for continuously treating strand-like textile material includes a cubic or quadratic liquid container, and an endless chain which is guided in the vicinity of the container bottom and the container end walls and is provided with transverse rods or bars of greater width than that of the textile strand to be treated. The apparatus further includes an air permeable and liquid permeable stationary support or overlay which is inclined relative to the horizontal from the textile strand inlet or entry side to the textile strand outlet or discharge side of the container. The apparatus also includes a pair of rails in the vicinity of the container bottom for the transverse rods or bars, of the endless chain, moved thereon, and upwardly directed nozzles located below the support or overlay, as well as a device for generating the transverse flow.

Abstract: An endless pressing-on and guiding belt including a belt piece having its end faces joined together, for textile treating devices, especially transfer printing machines and steaming calenders, with a rotary drum having a longitudinal section of the endless belt partially looped therearound while textile material to be treated is interposed between the drum and the belt, the latter being heated on the drum. The endless belt includes a fabric with a bronze-solid wire warp and a weft of a metallic nickel-alloy solid wire with the bronze solid wire warp extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt.
