Abstract: The machine provides a path (3) for feed of the fabric with a transfer system, for example a pneumatic system. Along the aforesaid path the fabric can be treated in rope form or in open width according to the machine settings.

Abstract: The machine comprises in combination: means (7) for supplying the fabric (T); means (9) for extracting the fabric; at least one first tank (1) and one second tank (3) which are positioned in series and between which a pneumatic transfer member (5) for transferring the fabric alternately from the first tank to the second tank and vice versa is arranged. The pneumatic transfer member is pivotable so as to assume at least two positions depending on the direction of feeding of the fabric through said pivoting transfer member.

Abstract: A machine is disclosed for the continuous washing of fabric (T), comprising eans (3) for introducing the fabric to be treated into said machine, means (5) for extracting the treated fabric from said machine and, between said means of introduction and said means of extraction, a treatment tank. It comprises at least two fabric treatment tanks (7, 9) arranged in series with respect to the overall direction of advance of the fabric (T) through the machine and, between said at least two tanks (7, 9), means of reversible transfer (11) that transfer said fabric from the first tank (7) to the second tank (9) and back again.

Abstract: The machine for the superficial abrasive treatment of fabrics comprises means (B1, B2, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) for feeding the fabric (T) for treatment and for pressing said fabric against an abrasive means (29; 51) which exerts an abrasive action on said fabric. The abrasive means comprises one or more blocks (33, 34, 35, 36; 51) of a natural, artificial or synthetic cellular or honeycombed abrasive material; the relative velocity between the active surface of the abrasive means and the fabric is between 10 and 60 m/min.

Abstract: The apparatus--which is used for the continuous treatment of a linear manufacture, such as length of fabric to be dried, with a gaseous stream - comprises a hollow rotor device (3) capable of being set in angular motion about a substantially horizontal axis, in combination with means (16, 14) for feeding the manufacture (M) to an open end of said rotor and means (42) for drawing the manufacture from the other open end of said rotor; continuous conveyor belt means (65, 65A) extend through the rotor in order to slowly advance said manufacture inside the internal volume of the rotor along said rotor; and suitable means (22, 30, 9) pass conditioned air or some other treatment gas into and along said rotor in order to treat the material.
