Abstract: A continuous dyeing device and related processes using indigo and/or other colorants for warp yarn chains and/or for fabrics, equipped with at least a first and a second dyeing compartments containing dyeing baths, the first and second dyeing compartments being enclosed, at least partially, in a hermetically sealed chamber. The device also includes at least one squeezing element interposed between the two dyeing compartments and a plurality of cylinders for heating and/or dehydrating the yarn and or the fabric, thereby increasing the diffusion and the absorption of the colorant. The cylinders are positioned downstream of the first dyeing compartment and squeezing element.

Abstract: A continuous dyeing device (100) and related processes using indigo and/or other colorants for warp yarn chains and/or for fabrics (13), equipped with at least a first (1) and a second (2) dyeing compartments containing dyeing baths (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d), the first and second dyeing compartments (1, 2) being enclosed, at least partially, in a hermetically sealed chamber (20). The device (100) also includes at least one squeezing element (14) interposed between the two dyeing compartments (1, 2) and a plurality of cylinders (3) for heating and/or dehydrating the yarn and/or the fabric (13), thereby increasing the diffusion and the absorption of the colorant. The cylinders (3) are positioned downstream of the first dyeing compartment (1) and squeezing element (14).

Abstract: Dying or bleaching apparatus for yarn wound on reels or similar packages, comprising a plurality of small vertical dying boilers (15) arranged on a single circumference each suitable for receiving a mobile reel holder shaft (13) which can be removed at the same time as the others for the subsequent centrifugal water draining and drying operations, operating with less liquid and also capable of being used with fractional capacities with a constant soaking ratio.

Abstract: Dying or bleaching apparatus for yarn wound on reels or similar packages, comprising a dying boiler (15) having an annular section suitable for receiving a single circular load of mobile reel holder shafts (13) which can be removed at the same time for the subsequent water draining and drying operations, operating with less liquid and also capable of being used with fractional capacities with a constant soaking ratio.

Abstract: An oxidation intensifier apparatus for continuous warp-chain indigo dyeing machines for dyeing a plurality of adjacent spaced parallel warp threads passing in a traveling path through a plurality of dyeing and squeezing units includes a first oxidation intensifier unit (10A) on one side of said traveling path, a second oxidation intensifier unit on the other side of said traveling path between two dyeing and squeezing units (I and II), and a fan (19) in each unit for blowing air onto opposite sides of the warp threads passing between the units. Each oxidation intensifier unit has an inlet on which the fan (19) is mounted, a diffuser (22) having an air inlet (21) adjacent the output side (20) of the fan and a diffuser outlet (23) in adjacent spaced relationship to the traveling warp threads (12). Each diffuser may contain in its interior a deflector (25) and/or a grille-type conveyor (26) to assure uniform distribution of the air delivered from the fan to the traveling warp threads.
