Abstract: To dispatch a treatment agent, such as a reagent, process promoter, dye, softener and the like used in textile finishing from a specific holding station (1) to a processing point (2), a control unit (140) is provided to selectively open and close valves (8, 11) to respectively block and release branch lines and establish at least one of several possible flow itineraries from each holding point through a selected branch (6) and then to at least one header (3; 300), them from the header or headers through a trunk line (5) to at least one distributor (4; 400) and, then, from the distributor or distributors through at least one other branch (9) to the selected processing point or points; once the communication line or itinerary is established, the treatment agent is released from the holding point or points to the selected processing point or points.

Abstract: In a method for wet-finishing textile goods in the extraction process, the textile goods are made-up in the form of spools or in packages. They are placed in this made-up form in a vessel closable in a pressure-tight manner and the air is then at least substantially removed from the interstices in the textile goods. In the course of the method, the liquor present in the form of an aerosol is made to flow through the textile goods. In order to reduce the water and energy consumption and to also improve the quality of the treatment, the textile goods are first transferred to a state with increased temperature and low residual moisture. Subsequently or or simultaneously, the air is at least substantially removed from the interstices in the textile goods, and after this state has been attained, a gaseous medium under increased pressure which together with the liquor forms an aerosol is made to flow directly through the textile goods.

Abstract: In a method for treating textile fabric (5), such as woven goods, knitted goods, threads, yarns, slivers and the like, with a treatment substance such as revivers or brighteners and the like, the application of the product is performed in the course of the drying process, to save water and energy. The treatment substance is added to the gas stream that is forced through the textile package (5) as it dries.
