The level of water in working fluid reservoir 5 was controlled by the fluid level detector 17. Having pumped water over, the working fluid reservoir 5 was filled up with tap water through water supply from the network valve 14, water was heated with heaters 16 and pumped over to the apparatus working tank 1 by the pump 4 through the two-way valve II 7 and permanent collector 3. Filling up the apparatus working tank 1 with water took place till the moment when the working fluid reservoir 5 and apparatus working tank 1 were completely filled. Degumming was conducted at constant water flow through the raw material which was directed to the openable collector alternate 2 from the bottom to the top of the apparatus working tank 1 by the electrically controlled two-way valve II 7 or the electrically controlled three-way I valve 6. A uniform flow of water through the whole bulk of raw material was secured by guides 22 in the openable collector 2 and in permanent collector 3.
