Abstract: An apparatus for wet-treating, particularly for dyeing, a fabric in the form of a continuous circulating rope of cloth, wherein the rope of cloth is fed into a kier by introducing it by means of a treating liquid and is moved farther within the kier. The treating liquid is circulated through outlets out of the kier and through inlets into the kier when feeding-in the rope of cloth by means of said liquid. The rope of cloth is fed-in into a drum pivoted in the kier, is moved together with this drum along a part of the circumference of said kier and is removed from the drum in order to be repeatedly fed-in. The treating liquid is removed from the drum after the feeding-in of the rope of cloth, and that part of the rope of cloth which is actually within the drum is deposited therein in a non-floating state.
