Abstract: The machine comprises: two or more modules, each having two containers and each container having two vertical vessels with respective open upper ends; a bottom portion places the vessels in communication with each other. Each module has two, alternately operating, hydraulic fabric drive means, situated above the open upper ends of the vessels; for each module a pumping means draws liquor from the containers, forces it through a filter and sends it to the hydraulic drive means. A fan blows air to a guide means for leading the fabric from one container to another and the guide means is provided at the top thereof with a cylindrical configuration having a horizontal generating line allowing the air through and forming an air cushion between the fabric and the guide means.
