Abstract: Design of a device for application of a fluid treatment to a moving web having the following structural components: a tank through which the web moving in an upwardly direction is passed for impregnation with a treatment liquid; drainage plate assembly having a double-wall structure defining a space therebetween for accommodating flow of a heat carrier; an applicator assembly for applying the treatment liquid onto the top of the drainage plate so that the treatment liquid flows downwardly along the top surface of the drainage plate and onto the web; and means for providing the heat carrier to the space within the drainage plate for adjusting the temperature of the drainage plate thereby affecting the temperature of the treatment liquid being applied to the web.

Abstract: A jig is used to dye a textile web made of polyester fibers (PES fibers) or a blend of PES fibers with other fibers. Dye liquor is kept at boiling temperature or just slightly below the boiling temperature. Provided in the housed-in steam space above the dye liquor are steam-spray tubes which act on the textile web. The steam-spray tubes direct saturated steam upon the textile web as it winds onto the respective reeling lap roll.

Abstract: A heatable roller which can be heated from inside the roller body by a heating device. Provided radially outside the heating device are axially parallel bore holes uniformly distributed over the periphery of the roller body which are connected at the ends by annular chambers. The bore holes and the annular chambers form a closed system which is partially filled with water. This system operates to make the temperature uniform via condensation heating in the event of local temperature reduction.

Abstract: A textile web, for example, a carpet web, is provided with a patterning agent including a thickening agent and subsequently steamed in a steamer. The agent residues remaining on the textile web are at least partially removed by mechanical means, and cleaned and decolorized in a cleaning unit, leaving a virtually pure thickening agent which can be reused for preparing a new batch of patterning agent in the batching tank.

Abstract: The device for impregnating a web laterally guided in the width direction with a treatment liquid comprises a tank for the treatment liquid through which the web is taken on an impregnation section and a pair of squeeze rollers arranged above the tank between which the web can be taken from below immediately after leaving the tank. The tank takes the form of an upright flat channel, the flat sides of which are tightly opposed, through which the web can be taken upwards, which can be kept full up to an optional level and the lower end of which is limited by a resilient sealing arrangement bearing on the web from both sides.

Abstract: A roll having bending control has a rotating hollow roll and a non-rotatable crossbeam penetrating the hollow roll lengthwise. Arranged on the crossbeam in an axially parallel row, closely following one another, are supporting elements which can be actuated independently of one another by fluid pressurized medium. Supply lines are attached via angle units to a bar-type carrier which is fastened to the crossbeam by means of screws that can be manipulated from the outside. The screws have longitudinal bore holes through which the respective supply line is directly connected to the respective supporting element.

Abstract: A roller with controllable sag is provided with a revolving hollow roller and a non-rotating crosshead that crosses the hollow roller along its length and on which the hollow roller is supported by a series of supporting elements that are actuated by a pressure medium. Separate supply lines (13) lead to the supporting element and open out into a collection head (40) at the end (10') of the crosshead, to which the outer connection lines (53) are connected. The connection head (40) comprises a double-disc rotary slide valve (50) by which the lines (13, 53) can be interrupted and which in the closed state can be separated at a separation surface (47). The individual discs (51, 52) of the double disc rotary slide valve (50) keep both the supply lines (13) and connection lines (53) closed, thus facilitating replacement of the roller as and when required.

Abstract: The roller is provided for pressure treatment of a strip of paper, textile, plastic film, sheet metal or similar material. It includes a hollow roller made of a fiber-reinforced synthetic resin material, and a cross-beam which passes through the hollow roller lengthwise. The cross-beam is mounted at its ends, in external supports, so as not to rotate. Hydrostatic support elements are arranged on the cross-beam on the side on which pressure is exerted. The elements can be pressed against the inside circumference of the hollow roller by means of a hydraulic fluid. The support elements have a length not exceeding 20 cm in the longitudinal direction of the hollow roller, follow each other closely in the longitudinal direction of the cross-beam, and can all be controlled independently of one another.

Abstract: The small finishing installation (100) for continuous strips of textile fabric includes a steam-filled housing (2) into which feed rolls (5) can be introduced at each end. Located in the housing are sets of fabric-handling equipment disposed symmetrically with respect to the vertical plane (40) running across the middle of the housing (2). Disposed in this vertical plane (40) is a squeezer unit (37) from which the strip of fabric can pass, against each feed roll (5), through a treatment bath (30) and then over an array (20) of guide rollers disposed above an open tank (26). The continuous strip of fabric (10) can be wound back and forth between the feed rolls (5), thus making it possible to carry out a variety of different treatments.

Abstract: A textile treatment unit comprises a belt conveyor which operates continuously, with a conveyor section, on which textile material is transported in folds. The upper side of the belt, with the folds located on it, passes over a local height deviation in the conveyor section, in the form of an elevation formed by a roller arranged below it, causing the folds to be loosened.

Abstract: Carpet material with at least a proportion of uncleaned used carpets is shredded to form a fiber-like wooly mass. The carpet material contains a thermoplastic binder with a low melting point, for example polypropylene, which can be derived from the used carpets or be added. Furthermore, a duroplastically hardening binder, for example phenolic resin, is added to the carpet material. The carpet material is compressed to form the molded part or panel with these two binders, at a temperature which lies above the plasticizing point of the thermoplastic binder, but below the plasticizing point of any other thermoplastic components of the carpet material.

Abstract: A roller has a rotary hollow cylinder through which extends a non-rotary crosshead. The hollow cylinder is supported on the crosshead by two opposite rows of hydrostatic supporting elements. When the roller is operated at particularly low linear pressures in the roll gap, a uniform linear force over the whole width of the paper web is exerted in the row of supporting elements opposite to the roll gap, causing an increase in the hydraulic pressures required in the row of supporting elements that faces the roll gap, until said pressures reach a range in which perfect operation of the supporting elements is ensured.

Abstract: A treatment device (100) for a textile web (1) comprises a drum (20), rotatable in a container (2) with a treatment liquid (4), around which the web (1) is wrapped. The ends of the drum (20) are supported on bearing plates (10) arranged near the fronts of the container (2). The bearing plates (10) are supported at the upper end on an eccentric (6), opposite the lower end of which there is a torque support (9). As the eccentric rotates, the bearing plates (10) with the drum (20) and the web (1) wrapped around it are caused to oscillate in the treatment liquid (4).

Abstract: In a "floating" roller with a fixed cross-beam and a rotating hollow roller, semicylindrical longitudinal chambers are separated and divided off by longitudinal seals and end cross-seals in the space between the crosshead and the hollow roller. At least the longitudinal chamber on the roller nip side can be filled with a compressed gas. The longitudinal seals and the end cross-seals are doubled and are made of closely juxtaposed pairs of sealing strips or. Into the spaces between the sealing strips can be introduced a sealing liquid which seals the longitudinal chambers. Sealing liquid which has penetrated into the longitudinal chambers is continuously removed.

Abstract: Carpet material with at least a proportion of uncleaned used carpets is shredded to form a fiber-like wooly mass. The carpet material contains a thermoplastic binder with a low melting point, for example polypropylene, which can be derived from the used carpets or be added. On at least one side of the carpet material, a cover layer of wood chips is provided. The carpet material, together with the layers of the adhesive-coated wood chips which form the cover layers, is compressed to form the molded part or panel, at a temperature which lies above the plasticizing point of the thermoplastic binder, but below the plasticizing point of any other thermoplastic components of the carpet material.

The exit opening of the injection device and the entry opening of the suction device extend over the entire width of the width of fabric. The width of fabric is guided through and between the injection device and the suction device. Steam is injected into the width of fabric and driven through the width of fabric and extracted on the other side, together with the residues which have been dissolved out of the fabric.

Abstract: A widening device for increasing the width of a moving web of material comprises a rotatable profiled roller, the outer surface of which defines a plurality of radial projections and recesses distributed along the length of the roller and first and second co-operating rollers rotatable at the same speed as the profiled roller. The first and second co-operating rollers define projections and recesses complementary to those of profiled roller and define first and second treatment nips which serve to increase the width of a web of material passed therethrough. The projections on the co-operating roller defining the second treatment nip extend more deeply into the recesses of the profiled roller than do the projections on the co-operating roller which defines the first treatment nip so that the web of material is stretched gradually over two stages with the stretching effect being uniform across the entire width of the web.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a laminate material for use as a surface covering or the like, by reusing plastic trimmings, includes the step of forming a layer from the plastic trimmings, and preferably subjecting both sides to a surface compression while simultaneously providing heat transfer, thus allowing the zones near the surface to be melted on.

Abstract: In a steamer for the steaming of a web of textile material laden with liquid supplied by an applicator device, steam is continuously fed to the steamer. The quantity of steam fed to the steamer is calculated in dependence upon the amount of liquid previously applied to the web and accurately corresponds to the amount of steam necessary in order to heat the web of material to the steaming temperature.

Abstract: A device for applying a treatment liquid to a moving web of material such as a textile web includes a drum that is rotatable around a horizontal axis. At least one guide roller is provided for guiding the fabric web such that the web wraps at least partially around the drum beginning at a side of the drum at which the web is disposed tangentially thereto and continuing around a bottom portion of the drum. A trailing, continuous band is also provided which is closed in a liquid-tight manner and circulates in a plane that is perpendicular to the axis of the drum. The band has an outer circumferential surface that fits closely on the fabric web at a location in which the web contacts the drum. The circumferential surface of the band and drum define a nip therebetween. The band seals off the nip at its bottom. The band has web segments forming lateral sealing elements which extend from the edges of the band to project outwardly. The segments have a side abutting a contact surface formed at the rim of the drum.
