Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plant, and to a relative method, for the treatment of items of clothing.
  • the present invention finds advantageous, but not exclusive, application for the scouring of jeans (denim), to which the following description will make explicit reference without thereby losing generality.
  • the treatment of items of clothing, jeans in particular, to be scoured comprises the following steps:
  • MANUAL SCRATCHING strictly manual processing on the item of clothing, with the aid of special equipment (grinding wheels, sandpaper) aging effects are produced by rubbing onto the items of clothing (the so-called “fraying”/“scratching”). Said processing involves the formation of fine dust, which, through appropriate suction hoods, must be dampened in special rain chambers. The fine dust contains all the chemicals used in the fabric processing and must be therefore conveyed to a purification plant.
  • RINSING IN WASHING MACHINE Step required to clean the items of clothing after the treatment.
  • NEUTRALISATION IN WASHING MACHINE WITH METABISULPHITE Procedure used to neutralize the permanganate. The use of metabisulphite and of the permanganate is subject to inspection for their possible release into the environment.
  • SPINNING OPERATION Procedure for mechanically removing fluids from the item of clothing.
  • the above processing can be used all or in part, in an actual scouring procedure.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a plant for the treatment of items of clothing which is free from the drawbacks described above and, at the same time, is easy and economical to produce.
  • a plant and a respective method, for the treatment of items of clothing are made as claimed in the independent claims or in any one of the dependent claims that depend, directly or indirectly, by at least one of the independent claims 1 .
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically a plant for the treatment of items of clothing according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2A shows a first embodiment of a nozzle used in the plant of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 2B shows a second embodiment of a nozzle used in the plant of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 shows a series of outlet openings on the nozzles of the pressurized fluid that are represented in FIGS. 2A , 2 B;
  • FIG. 4 shows some enlarged details of the plant of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 1 with 100 is indicated, as a whole, a plant for the treatment of items of clothing according to the invention.
  • the plant 100 comprises a first feeding line 10 of the items of clothing (not shown), in particular jeans (denim), coupled to a second treatment line 20 on which the various devices for the treatment of said items of clothing (see below) are arranged.
  • the plant 100 also comprises a third feeding line 30 of circulation and treatment of fluids that serve the various processing.
  • the image to be transferred on the item of clothing can be designed and the processing variables can be set on the basis of the different types of fabrics to be processed.
  • Said treatments can be, for example, the obtaining of fringes, scratches, tears, discoloration and localized worn-out areas.
  • the items of clothing to be treated are manually loaded in correspondence of a STATION I and are transferred, by means of semi-rigid structures (not shown) moved on a suspended path, to a STATION II where they are introduced into a treatment booth 21 partially closed.
  • a plurality of nozzles 22 is provided, each of which is hydraulically connected to a respective pump 23 at high pressure.
  • the nozzles 22 spray on the items of clothing that are in the treatment booth 21 , a high pressure fluid that is drawn from a collection tank 31 .
  • the treatment abradant fluid in this step can be constituted by water alone, or by a water based solution.
  • the water, or the water based solution is hot.
  • the treatment abradant fluid might also be constituted by a high pressure gas, for example, high pressure air.
  • each nozzle 22 sprays from 10 l/min to 20 l/min, preferably 14 l/min, at a medium output pressure ranging from 100 bar to 300 bar. Of all the water sprayed in this step it is recovered at least 70% at finished treatment (see below).
  • the high pressure water is sprayed on the items of clothing with time, temperature and pressure variables on the basis of the technical characteristics of the fabric and of the processing to be performed.
  • the items of clothing are moved from the STATION II to the STATION III and introduced in a shrinkage booth 24 wherein at least one nozzle 25 sprays on the items of clothing themselves hot water at a variable temperature and pressure, based on the technical characteristics of the fabric to allow the items of clothing the necessary technical shrinkage.
  • the purified fluid is then injected into said collecting tank 31 through a pipe 34 and reused in the next cycle.
  • Another important saving factor is in the possible amount of energy used, and in particular the quantity of fuel gas normally used for the production of steam in the laundry department.
  • the final result is obtainable with just the mechanical action of water at room-temperature.
  • the only step where the use of hot water is expected is related to the shrinkage treatment of the items of clothing that is accomplished, as we have said, in the shrinkage booth 24 .
  • electromechanically moved nozzles 22 are located in the perimeter of the treatment booth 21 with the same shape and different diameters.
  • FIG. 2A A first embodiment of the nozzle 22 A is shown in FIG. 2A .
  • the nozzle 22 A is mounted on a support structure 50 comprising a first prismatic block 51 fixed to a wall of the treatment booth 21 . From the first prismatic block 51 a second prismatic block 52 protrudes, on which a supporting rod 53 of the nozzle 22 A is mounted. The supporting rod 53 is coupled to the second prismatic body by a ball joint 54 electromechanically movable by way of devices not shown.
  • the nozzle 22 A comprises a cylindrical main body 22 A* prolonged, towards the inside of the treatment booth 21 , by a conical body 22 A**.
  • the end 22 A*** of the conical body 22 A** is provided with at least one outlet opening 55 A, 55 B, 55 C, 55 D, 55 E of the type shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the outlet opening 55 A consists of a simple circular hole
  • the outlet opening 55 B consists of a segment
  • the outlet opening 55 C has the shape of a wave
  • the outlet opening 55 D consists of a curve portion
  • the outlet opening 55 E is provided by the set of three circular holes.
  • FIG. 2B A second embodiment of the nozzle 22 B is shown in FIG. 2B .
  • Said nozzle 22 B is of a substantially spheroidal-shaped cap but may also have a different shape and is supported by a support rod 63 fixed to the wall of the treatment booth 21 by a ball joint 64 electromechanically movable by means of devices not illustrated.
  • all the aforesaid nozzles can be handled directly by the movement of the first prismatic block 51 ( FIG. 2A ).
  • the nozzles 22 A, 22 B will act on points coordinated by the program controlled by the electronic control unit (EC) moving autonomously in all directions.
  • each single item of clothing (CP 1 ), (CP 2 ), (CP 3 ), (CP 4 ), (CP 5 ) is manually loaded on a respective mannequin (MN 1 ), (MN 2 ), (MN 3 ), (MN 4 ), (MN 5 ) transported by said first feeding line 10 of the items of clothing shown in FIG. 1 .
  • Each (CP 1 ), (CP 2 ), (CP 3 ), (CP 4 ), (CP 5 ) will then be lowered down from above into the treatment booth 21 from the respective mannequin (MN 1 ), (MN 2 ), (MN 3 ), (MN 4 ), (MN 5 ) actuated by an extensible rod, and is subjected to at least one high pressure spray produced by at least one nozzle 22 .
  • the items of clothing (CP 1 ), (CP 2 ), (CP 3 ), (CP 4 ), (CP 5 ) are arranged one by one in the treatment booth 21 and may be subject to the same or different treatments depending on how the electronic control unit (EC) has been programmed.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for the treatment of items of clothing, in particular jeans (denim), comprising the step of sending an abradant fluid at high pressure on the items of clothing.
  • the abradant fluid may be an abradant liquid substantially water-based having an average output pressure ranging from 100 bar to 300 bar, and, preferably, a flow rate ranging from 10 l/min and 20 l/min.
  • Said method may optionally comprise a spinning step, during which the items of clothing are subject to spinning, followed by a drying step of the items of clothing themselves.
