Publication number: 20190234011Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to methods and systems for bleaching textiles using ozone gas. Embodiments also incorporate a color removal step. In one example, there is provided a hybrid machine that incorporates certain features of a washer, but that also includes an integrated blower for gas distribution inside the machine. There is also provided an ozone dosing control system that allows for maintenance of a constant concentration of ozone in the machine. In one embodiment, the ozone output measured in grams/hour at this constant concentration in conjunction with the weight of product measured being treated may be referred to as the “bleaching factor.” There is further provided a drain sump design that helps minimize water volume in the presence of fabric lint, various added materials, and other processing chemicals.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventors: Thomas R. Allen, Charles Smith, Thoram Charanda

Patent number: 9493896Abstract: Embodiments of the invention described herein provide systems and methods for bleaching textiles that are more reliable and reproducible. This disclosure provides for process control that allows a particular dosage rate or concentration of ozone to be held throughout the process. This disclosure also provides a hybrid washing machine that includes a blowing system for recirculating ozonated air during the bleaching process. The hybrid washing machine may incorporate features of a sealed vessel, a washing machine, and the air circulation volume typically associated with commercial dryers.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Guardian Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Thomas R. Allen, Charles Smith, Thoram Charanda, David Tubert
