Abstract: A treating liquid in form of a preferably highly concentrated solution or dispersion is entrained in a stream of gas, and the thus-entrained finely divided particles of liquid are sprayed against a material to be treated.

Abstract: This invention provides for a process for the wet treatment of textiles in which in a pressure-tight high-temperature resistant container the liquor always flows outwardly laterally at an angle from vertical through the inside of the textile material, flows down on the outside of the textile material to a sump situated beneath the latter and is pumped back from the sump into the interior of the textile material. Thus the material during the process is not immersed in the liquor and the influence of the high pressures and temperatures conventionally applied upon the textiles in their wet treatment is avoided and a lower liquid to textile ratio is employed.
