Abstract: In a method for dyeing textile material with one or more fiber-reactive disperse dyestuffs in a supercritical or almost critical fluid, such as CO2, which textile material is selected from the group consisting of silk, wool and cellulose, combinations thereof and combinations of one or more thereof with synthetic fibers, such as polyester and/or polyamide, the relative humidity of the fluid is in the range from 10-100% during dyeing. Textile materials which have been dyed with the aid of this method have properties which are at least equal to those of textile materials of the same type which have been dyed in the traditional manner using water-soluble dyestuffs. A device for carrying out the dyeing method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cleaning device for use in cleaning a paste supply system of a rotary screen-printing machine, which paste supply system at least comprises a pump as well as a paste suction line and a paste pressure line, while the cleaning device at least comprises a cleaning agent container, for liquid cleaning agent, by means of which the paste suction line and the paste pressure line can be placed in liquid communication for the purpose of interaction between the paste supply system and the cleaning device, the cleaning device being characterized in that flow-altering means are present. Preferably, the flow-altering means which impart to the cleaning agent, as it flows through the cleaning device and the paste supply system interacting therewith, a direction of flow at least over part of the paste suction line and/or the paste pressure line which has both an axial and a radially outwardly directed velocity component.
