Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for continuously carrying out washing, raising milling, scouring, bleaching and dyeing, of fabric. In carrying out the aforesaid operations, it is essential for the fabric to be carried forward in a stabilized and relaxed state accurately and continuously in a treating fluid and on the other hand the treating fluid should move vigorously without a hitch and come into contact with the fabric uniformly. In the present invention the stabilized posture of the fabric particularly in a treating space is emphasized and at the entry of the treating space the fabric is folded in the wavy form in good order resulting in the more uniform contact between the treating fluid or liquor and the fabric. Further jet or blowing angles of jet nozzles have been arranged to make jets of the treating liquor accurately strike the fabric.

Abstract: A textile processing system in which a textile material to be treated is led and conveyed through a predetermined path for processing by the provision of a material guidance device on both side-walls of the processing system. The system provides open-width processing, low liquor-ratio processing and continuous processing, and contributes to a solution of the problems in regard to industrial waste-water control.

Abstract: A continuous relaxing apparatus for textile fabrics which comprises, in combination: a treating vessel; a lower open conveyer having numerous openings formed thereon and circulating along a closed lower path; an upper open conveyer having numerous openings formed thereon and circulating along a closed upper path, a narrow path for relaxing the fabric being formed between an upper portion of the closed lower path and a lower portion of the closed upper path; numerous nozzles for jetting a treating liquid therethrough, located outside of the narrow relaxing path; a feed roller for the fabric; a delivery roller for the fabric, and; recycling means for the treating liquid from the treating vessel to the nozzles; and includes the improvement which comprises, in combination: (1) an overflow vessel for containing the treating liquid therein, located above the treating vessel; (2) treating liquid recycling means from the treating vessel to the overflow vessel, and; (3) a duct for feeding the fabric into the narrow re

Abstract: An apparatus for the continuous immersion washing of uninterrupted pieces of fabrics, particularly of knitted fabrics, progresses the length of fabric through a series of washing stations including immersion washing tanks and progressing mechanisms including fabric widening rollers. At least one immersion washing tank has an intermittently driven rotary member partially immersed therein and having circumferentially distributed first projections which form a platform with second projections distributed along endless sprocket chams which drive the rotary member. Portions of the fabric are fed and loosely folded in relaxed tensionless condition onto the platform. A pair of axially-aligned, independently-driven and controlled half rollers exert transverse pulls on the fabric to counteract and correct misalignments detected and signalled by sensor means located downstream of the immersion washing tank.

Abstract: Process for the continuous dyeing of high-quality polyester fibers, wherein on the textile material, which has been impregnated with a dyeing liquor, the dyestuff applied is fixed by means of a combined treatment with saturated vapor at high pressure and a wet treatment at high temperature.

Abstract: Apparatus for drying a traveling web which is permeable to air, has a rotating foraminous drum on which the web is wrapped and screw-type propellers mounted in each end of the drum, the diameters of the propellers closely approaching the inside diameters of the drum. Rotation of the propellers effects suction in the drum. Provision is made for heating air to be sucked through the web into the drum, and optionally for recirculating more or less of the air flowing from the ends of the drum back to the drum's periphery.

Abstract: Liquid-containing pulp material, especially sulphate pulp containing black liquor, is deposited as a mat on a moving filter and subjected to displacement washing with a liquid such as clean water supplied to one side of the pulp mat and displacing the black liquor, which emerges in substantially undiluted form from the opposite side of the mat. The filter is a screen moving over a supporting floor, said floor and screen together forming a "resistance floor" providing a substantial flow resistance to the liquid. A layer of displacement or washing liquid (e.g., water) is maintained over the pulp mat covering the surface thereof. This layer may have a depth or height of e.g. 10 to 100 cm, thus protecting the surface of the mat against the effect of supply means for displacement liquid and providing a pressure on the upper side of the pulp mat assisting in overcoming the flow resistance of the pulp and the floor.
