MULLER 3,315,501 APPARATUS FOR THE CONTINUOUS WET TREATMENT OF TEXTILES AND THE LIKE med sept. 14, 1964 United States atent v l 3,315,501 APPARATUS FOR THE CONTINUOUS WET 'TREATMENT 0F TEXTILES AND THE LIKE Hermann G. Mller, Herisau, Aargau, Switzerland, assgnor to Aktiengesellschaft Cilander, Herisau, Switzerland Filed Sept. 14, 1964, Ser. No. 396,149 Claims priority, application Germany, Sept. 19, 1963,
A 44,094 Claims. (Cl. 68-181) The present invention has reference to an improved apparatus for the continuous wet treatment of rope or web-shaped textiles (for instance fabrics, knitted goods and so forth) wherein the textile material is conveyed through at least two narrow communicating pipe-shaped chambers or compartments -lled with treatment liquid and iu an opposite direction to the direction of flow of the treatment liquid. The invention is also concerned with an improved tangential nozzle used in the inventive apparatus. Under the term wet treatment there comes under consideration the following: washing, bleaching, dyeing, impregnating, treatment in a caustic-soda bath, acidification and so forth,
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved apparatus for the Wet treatment of textile materials and, more specifically, to achieve as high as possible treatment action (also Vwith very delicate textiles) while protecting against mechanical forces, and to carry out such treatment action in as simple a manner as possible and by means of inexpensive apparatus while using small quantities of treatment bath.
It has been found, particularly with so-called exchange processes, that the treatment effect, notwithstanding the velocity of the textile goods, itself can be considerably increased by increasing the ow velocity of the treatment liquid at the surface of the textile goods. It has already been proposed to somewhat increase the treatment eect by increasing the velocity of the textile goods. The increase of the treatment effect by increasing the velocity of the treatment liquid with stationary textile ygoods is, thus, incomparably larger than that achieved by increasing the velocity of the textile goods with stationary treatment liquid.
In order to be able to maintain the counterow principle simultaneously with high velocity of the textile goods there was previously always employed -wide compartments or chambers, bringing about the disadvantage of having to use a large quantity of bath. With narrow compartments, particularly with vertical arrangement of the same, it was not up to the present possible to uphold the counterflow principle in a sufficient manner, that is, with large velocities of the textile goods as well as also the treatment liq-uid. Furthermore, with known method techniques working with large .pump pressures there further existed the danger of damaging the fabric.
Therefore, a further important aspect of the invention resides in the features that by Ameans of an appropriate apparatus it is possible to make the ow velocity of the treatment liquid in narrow chambers as high as possible at all locations during the throughpassage while employing the counterilow principle, without thereby damaging the textile goods.
According to the teachings of the present invention the textile `goods are conveyed through two communicating pipe-shaped compartments in counterliow to the treatment liquid; the treatment liquid is introduced into that pipeshaped compartment in which the textile goods pass in upward direction; in the lower connecting portion of both communicating pipe-shaped compartments at least a portion of the treatment liquid is removed by a 3,315,591 Patented Apr. 25, 1967 pipe and by means of a pump conducted through a liquid delivery apparatus, preferably a nozzle, and guided in a direction opposite the feed direction of the textile goods in the lower portion of that pipe-shaped compartment through which the textile goods travel in downward direction.
Thus, in the one chamber the treatment liquid is upwardly conveyed by the pump pressure in counterliow to the tlow of the textile goods, whereby there is achieved a liquid velocity at the surface of the textile ,goods which is increased a number of times in comparison with known systems. In the other compartment there occurs an acceleration of the liquid velocity over that velocity resulting from the free fall in that pump at the same time sucks down the liquid through the pipe. 'Ihe textile Igoods are, therefore, imbued in both pipe-shaped compartments by the treatment liquid moving with high velocity in countercurrent flow. 'l
In so doing, the treatment liquid is advantageously conducted into the lower portion of the Ione ring-shaped compartment in approximately parallel direction with respect to the surface of the textile goods by means of the liquid delivery apparatus, permitting the application of high liquid pressures previously never employed in actual practice, without also delicate fabrics and textiles becoming damaged and fiber displacement occurring. Due to the high ow velocities Vof the treatment liquid in the direct region of the surface of the textile goods there is achieved a quicker exchange action between the liquid surrounding the textile goods and that liquid itself located between the fibers, yarn, or as the case may be, intermicelles in the textile goods, than with a direct spraying of the treatment liquid upon the textile goods. In the latter situation the treatment liquid rebounds from the textile goods and after impact is thus again deflected away from such textile goods. The impingement and thereby the duration of contact or residence time is relatively short, whereas with the invention, with approximately parallel introduced treatment liquid over a longer path of the textile goods and thereby for a longer period of contact, there advantageously occurs a very intensive liquid exchange.
Other features, objects and advantages of the invention will Vbecome apparent by reference to the following detailed description and drawing in which:
FIGURE 1 schematically illustrates an apparatus for the performance of the wet treatment of textile materials;
FIGURE 2 schematically illustrates a further embodiment of inventive apparatus; and
FIGURE 3 is an embodiment of nozzle used with the inventive apparatus.
Considering now the embodiment of FIGURE 1 it will be seen that the rope-shaped textile goods 1 are conveyed via a roller 2 disposed in a container 3 into the one pipe-shaped compartment 4a of a pipe 4 which is relatively narrow with regard to the fabric rope 1. Such rope-shaped fabric or textile goods 1 pass through a circular-shaped slotted nozzle 5 providing a liquid delivery apparatus which is arranged in the lower portion of the pipe 4 and through which the treatment liquid 6 is pumped vertically upwards, parallel and opposite to the direction of travel of said rope-shaped textile goods 1. Thereafter, the rope-shaped textile goods 1 arrive in a lower detlecting chamber or compartment 7 containing a deflectng roller 8, for the purpose of changing the direction of travel of such textile goods 1. A pipe or conduit 9 leads from this deecting compartment 7 to a pump 10. The treatment liquid 6 flows from the detlecting chamber 7 to the pump 1t) and is sprayed or injected by the latter under pressure through the nozzle 5 into the pipe 4.
The textile goods 1 arrive from the dellecting chamber or compartment 7 at the second pipe-shaped compartment livery or supply apparatus Y in the form of a funnel. Y'
Varrives at the container 3 by means ofthe delivery ap- Y `flat, spread-'out web i' container'l through Y Vthrough Vthe compartment 4a Y Y, downward movement', is guided via the deflecting roller i'for/the forward Vconveying ofthe textile goods.
or chamber 11a of the pipe 11 and traverse the latter in vertical direction, opposite the flow direction of the treatment liquid which overflows from the pipe 4 from above into the container 3 and then arrives at the pipe 11. Thus, the treatment liquid 6 circulates through both pipe compartments 4a and 11a streaming up-and-down in counter- Y flow to the textile goods 1. The aforesaid textile goods 1 finally still pass through a second ring-shaped liquid de- 12 by means of which fresh treatment liquid arrives in the treatment apparatus in that, the treatment liquid is sprayed onto the rope of textile Ymaterial'l within a'tube 12a surrounding such rope of Vtextile material shortly before the treatment liquid 1s` pressed-olf by means of the squeezing Vvor pinch roller arrangement 13, at the same time serving as transport means for the textile goods.
'The pressed-outtreatment liquid flows intoA the liquid delivery apparatus 12 which is configured at its top 12b paratus 12'then likewise iiows, together with that quantity oftreatment liquid which overflows from the upper end Vof the conduit or pipe 4, into Vthe conduit or pipe 11. The v separating or partition wall 14 serves the purpose of preventing the newly introduced treatment liquid from being through theroveriiow pipe 15. Sincerthe treatment liquid according to the circulation is continuously agitated in both of the pipe compartments 4a and 11a by means of the pump'l@ it is necessary that thetreatment liquidv consumed and/or entrained by the YtextileV goods is continuously replenished by new treatmentliquid, this occurring by means of the aforementioned delivery apparatus 12.V4 On the other hand, due Vto the mentioned exchange effect there continuously takes place a change in theV concentration of the circulating bath.
l YAccordingly, in order'to maintain constant the concentration of the treatment liquid, in most cases, a portion of thewconsumed treatment liquid is advantageously conveyed away, this taking place by the Voveriiow pipe V15.
VBy virtueY of the inventive apparatus it is possible to also uphold the principles of counterflow withhigh velocity of the goods in that extremely high pump pressures can be employed without the danger of damaging the textileV goods, which pressure must Vis Yeiected an overow in the container 3 from the pipe' V4 into the pipe 11.

The rollers 2 and 2 and insofar as'desiredV also the rollers 8 and 8 can be driven or freely rotate with the goods.
In the performance of the described invention such a large quantity of-bath with such a large velocity is delivered through the nozzles-per unit of time thatV the compartment overflows at its top, whereby, however, the quantity of bath flowing out 'at theV top from the narrow Y compartment is smaller than the quantity pumped throughY the lnozzles because a portion of the pumped-in bath is entrained by the textile goods moving in counterow.
The apparatus designed according to the teachings of the invention possess the `further advantage that it is independent of the thickness of the goods -and independentV Y of the weight of the textile goods to be treated. With light and thinV fabrics with high velocities of the goods the treatment liquid has the possibility `to more easily ow back between the transformations of the nozzle into f the compartment 7 than such is the Vcase withV heavy` thick fabrics.V Since, also, this return Vflowing liquid is again conducted through the'pipe 9 to the nozzle 5 by the pump 10, there does not occur','iri` any mannen'a'n additional liquid consumption, andsuch notwithstanding high -purnp loads and the thereby large conveyed quantities through the nozzle.
