  • Apparatus for batch dyeing
    Patent number: 6672114
    Abstract: The jet dye apparatus includes a reactant chamber for the processing or various materials and liquids, and a pump for recirculating the liquids to and from the reactant chamber. A jet venturi or nozzle receives the material from the reactant chamber and returns the material to the reactant chamber through a return tube. A portion of the liquids from the pump are supplied to the jet venturi. An inductor receives a portion of the liquids from the pump before they are returned to the reactant chamber. The inductor combines the liquids with granular or powder additives from an additive container.
