  • Patent number: 6485526
    Abstract: The method of continuous thermal treatment of a textile product with steam simultaneously provides optimum dye fixing and drying of a product web treated with a dye solution. This method includes applying a water solution of a dye to a product web to form a moist product web with the applied dye solution; transporting the moist product web with the applied dye solution through at least one treatment chamber in which the heat treatment takes place; bringing the moist product web with the applied dye solution into contact with a treatment gas including hot steam, preferably at 160-230° C., for preferably from 10 to 30 seconds, to simultaneously perform drying and dye fixing, so that the residual moisture content of the moist product web is less than or equal to its equilibrium moisture content under normal conditions.

  • Patent number: 6471729
    Abstract: The continuous treatment of a textile product web with steam includes subjecting a moist product web with the reactive dye applied on it to a steam treatment by bringing the moist product web with the reactive dye on it in contact with overheated water steam having a temperature of 130-230° C. for a steam treatment time of preferably 5 to 60 seconds; transporting the moist product web during the steam treatment at least partially horizontally through at least one treatment chamber; and blowing the hot steam into the at least one treatment chamber onto the moist product web by nozzle boxes arranged above and below the product web. The device for performing this method is also described.

  • Patent number: 6408539
    Abstract: A method of continuos thermal treatment of a textile product web has the steps of bringing a product web in contact with a treatment gas guided in a circulating process, introducing a product web into a steam portion having one or several steam stages in which heat steam is used as a treatment gas, introducing the product web into a steam-air portion which has one or several stages and hot steam and heated air as a treatment gas, passing the product web first through the steam portion and subsequently through the steam air portion, providing an exchange of the treatment gas between the steam stages and the stages, adjusting a relative moisture of the hot steam of the steam stages of the steam portion to the value zero, and performing the adjusting by measuring relative moistures of a first and a last steam stages and changing discharge gas quantities of the first or second steam stages and one further stage.

  • Patent number: 6282811
    Abstract: In a method and a device for thermal treatment of a continuous product web by blowing of steam, a product web is transported through an inlet slot, an interior of the housing and an outlet slot and steam is blown onto the product web through nozzle openings of nozzle boxes, steam is blown onto the product web before the inlet slot of the housing in a sluice.

  • Patent number: 5946819
    Abstract: Tenter driers are frequently used for drying textile webs whose edges have an increased weight per unit area or have been treated with glue. It is extremely difficult to dry the edges to the same degree of residual humidity as the remainder of the web. In the inlet region, the blower box has been replaced by blower pipes extending parallel to the chain rails. The pipes are connected to the recirculated air system of the drier and provided with nozzle apertures directed towards the web edges. Since only a low drying capacity is available, the drier either has to be extended or the throughput speed has to be decreased. With the drier according to the invention, a longitudinal section which starts at the inlet and extends over at least 20% of the total length is equipped with blower pipes (27, 28) aligned parallel to the chain rails (13, 14). Blower boxes (18, 19) are also mounted in this longitudinal section, both above and below the textile web (15).

  • Patent number: 4829791
    Abstract: An arrangement for applying liquid such as dye liquor to a moving web of textile material is provided. The arrangement includes a supply reservoir for the dye liquor, a small volume receiving vessel to which the liquor from the supply reservoir is metered, a pump for passing the liquor from the receiving vessel to a distributing element dispopsed above a reversing roll for the material web. The distributing element being adapted to pass the liquor at a liquor to material weight ratio of from about 1.2 to 1.5 into a wedge-like gap formed between the material web running up on the reversing roll and the reversing roll.

  • Patent number: 4697354
    Abstract: A drier for moving and drying textile materials, wherein the material web passes through several sequentially arrayed identical drying zones during the drying treatment which is implemented by fresh air, circulating air and exhaust air. The improvement includes a central exhaust duct which evacuates exhaust air from all drying zones. Preferably, the drier additionally controls the evacuation of the exhaust air from the drier as a function of the moisture in the exhaust air flow. The exhaust duct may also evacuate exhaust air from the first, central or last drying zone through which the web material passes.
