  • Patent number: 4726088
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and device for the wet treatment of textile material in hank form. The material travels in a circulating passage through an intensive treatment drawframe with subsequent folding-down, further conveying, and finally renewed feeding to the intensive treatment drawframe by a hank winding device. Circulating conveying of the treatment bath through the intensive treatment drawframe occurs while the textile material is passed through the horizontally arranged intensive treatment drawframe essentially at the same speed as the treatment bath. Such material is also under the action of the tensile force of a second hank winding device, which works at essentially the same conveying speed as the hank winding device upstream from the intensive treatment drawframe.

  • Patent number: 4495785
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the wet treatment of endless textile material wherein the treatment liquor is scooped up by ladles or dippers disposed on a drum rotatably mounted within a boiler, the dippers carrying the treatment liquor in the drum rotation while, at the same time, the textile material rests on the outside wall of the drum and is carried along. The treatment liquor emerges from the dippers, wets and penetrates the textile material for its intensive wet treatment. The textile material and treatment liquor return to the lower area of the boiler where they are again taken up for renewed similar treatment.
