Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for treatment a textile web in the form of an endless web with the features of the preamble of the claim 1 and an apparatus for performing the method with the features of the preamble of the claim 12th
  • Textile treatment processes e.g. Pretreatment process Dyeing processes or post-treatment processes are in multiple design known, such treatment methods continuously or as part of the present Registration can be carried out discontinuously.
  • discontinuous treatment processes for example when washing, boiling, boiling, bleaching, dyeing, Washing, softening and / or finishing, is a delimited Length of a textile web in such a way
  • Treatment facility arranged that the beginning the web with formation of an endless web loop connected to the end of the web, in particular sewn, is. This can then be endless Web loop in the broad condition or preferably as a web in the corresponding treatment facility be treated.
  • CH 575 037 describes a typical process or a typical device for treating such endless web loop in strand form, being used to achieve a given treatment effect a given one Length of a web within a treatment facility is arranged. Then in the treatment facility the web by connecting the two web ends one Endless web loop made, this web loop then subsequently in strand form within the treatment facility transported for a predetermined time and brought into contact with a treatment fleet there becomes. After wetting the endless web of fabric this linger, depending on the recorded Amount of treatment liquor is on the bottom side in the treatment facility accumulates and there again with the web strand in contact while lingering.
  • the known method and the known device allows compared to a conventional treatment method a not inconsiderable reduction in the fleet ratio (Weight of the treated goods: volume of the treatment liquor), however, the known method remains Fleet ratios required, of the order of magnitude are between 1: 3 and 1: 7.
  • the present invention is based on the object Methods of the type specified and a device are available with which it is possible to create endless textile Treat web strands particularly economically.
  • the inventive method for treating a textile Material web in which a predetermined length of the material web is within a treatment facility arranged there from the Material web by connecting the two material web ends an endless Fabric web loop made and then this in Strand shape present web loop within the Treatment facility transported for a predetermined time provides that the first step is continuously the treatment facility transported endless web of goods is wetted with a treatment liquor. Right away afterwards the treatment fleet is removed from the web squeezed, the squeezed fleet separated from the Web strand is caught. Then the web is in the method according to the invention with a Gas flow applied, so that after that the web strand is allowed to linger for a predetermined dwell time. In this dwell stage occurs in the process according to the invention the web strand is no longer in contact with the treatment fleet.
  • the term falls under the term Squeeze any technology that makes it possible is the remaining liquor concentration in the endless web to any, predetermined and reproducible Adjust size, especially a mechanical one Squeezing, wiping over the corresponding wiping element, setting the remaining liquor concentration in the web strand by means of vacuum and / or via a corresponding one Gas flow, especially via compressed air.
  • the method according to the invention has a number of advantages on. It could surprisingly be found that by Application of the inventive method considerable costs can be saved because the inventive method works with a relatively low fleet ratio. Of therefore when using the method according to the invention a saving especially in relation to the required Energy, as well as savings related to water, chemicals, Aids, dyes and waste water possible. Let too surprisingly in the process according to the invention particularly reproducible and even the desired Set treatment effects, so that the invention Process particularly advantageous in particular for dyeing can be used.
  • That provided in the method according to the invention and above described lingering of the web after the Acting on it with a gas stream, in particular with Air can basically be stored in any suitable web store take place, e.g. in a well-known J-box, an appropriately shaped slide or in a stack, however, in the case of the device, another embodiment is described, which is particularly suitable for this is.
  • the web strand is preferred for a time between 0.01 seconds and 1 Second with the treatment liquor, whereby this Treatment times for one circulation of the web strand Respectively.
  • the Time between wetting the web and squeezing 0.01 seconds to 1 second, taking these numbers also refer to a circulation, so that for the determination the total residence time these preferred given above Times are multiplied by the number of round trips have to.
  • the web strand with the wetting the respective treatment liquor is achieved by that here the web of material in a corresponding The treatment liquor is applied to the nozzle.
  • Aid to the treatment fleet can be transported excellent results in terms of mass and energy transfer and thus particularly reproducible and uniform Achieve treatment effects in the inventive method.
  • the transport speed of the Material web strand in the method according to the invention on the one hand according to the quality of the web to be treated and on the other hand according to the desired treatment effect.
  • Transport speeds are preferred selected in the method according to the invention, the between 100 m / min and 800 m / min, in particular between 300 m / min and 600 m / min, vary, with a normal loading a corresponding treatment facility with a Goods web strand with a length of between 100 m and 1,200 m those specified above in the process according to the invention Treatment steps every 7.5 seconds to every 12 minutes be repeated.
  • this Temperature according to the substrate to be treated and the desired treatment.
  • the Temperature for wetting the web strand for which Squeezing the same for the loading of the web strand with a gas, in particular with air, and / or for the dwelling of the web between 30 ° C and 150 ° C, preferably between 60 ° C and 140 ° C.
  • the treatment liquor can by every suitable process step from the endless web of goods are removed, in particular a mechanical Squeezing the web strand is preferred, such as this is also the case with the device according to the invention is explained in more detail.
  • a particularly economical and environmentally friendly treatment is achieved in the method according to the invention by that the fleet caught separately from the web strand is used again to wet the web strand, so that accordingly, this further increases the fleet ratio and especially fleet consumption is reduced.
  • the present invention further relates to a device to carry out the method described above.
