Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for treating textile materials whose nature is such that they tend to part easily on the application of a relatively low tensile stress.
  • the materials contemplated include wool, cotton or synthetics, loose stock, synthetic tows, or spun fibres.
  • the material being treated is covered solely by the influence of a flow of treating liquor throughout the treatment zone, the treating liquor being with advantage a dye and this dye on being exhausted on passing through the treatment zone is replenished by a fresh portion of fresh dye liquor before being re-circulated from the treatment zone.
  • One of the main features of the invention is that substantially no tensile stress is applied whatsoever to the material and no moving parts are incorporated within the treatment zone.
  • This invention is concerned with an apparatus for the continuous treatment of textile materials with a liquid and is particularly concerned with treating textile materials such as slivers of Wool, cotton or synthetics, loose stock, synthetic tows, spun fibre in warp or hank, or fabrics of any type.
  • apparatus for continuously treating textile material with a treating liquor comprising a vessel having no moving parts and defining a treatment zone through which the material is passed, means for inducing a flow of liquor through the vessel whereby the material is carried through the treatment zone entirely by the liquor moving at a constant velocity relative to the speed of the material under conditions in which substantially no tensile stress is applied to the material being treated, means for heating the liquor during its passage through the treatment zone, means for receiving the exhausted liquor after its passage through the treatment zone, recirculating it to be proportionately mixed with a supply of fresh liquor and passing the mixed liquor to the treatment zone.
  • the vessel is in the form of a substantially U-shaped tube open at both ends.
  • a continuous sliver indicated generally by the reference numeral 1 is fed from a supply (not shown) through a pair of feed rolls 2 before passing into a bath 3 containing a supply of exhausted dye liquor, the passage through the bath 3 serving to provide the sliver with a preliminary impregnation prior to the actual dyeing process.
  • the sliver 1 passes round a guide roller 4 in the bath 3 before travelling upwardly over a second guide roller d and into the nip of a pair of variable speed squeeze rollers 6.
  • the sliver 1 then travels downwardly into the bell-shaped end 7 of one leg of a substantially U-shaped vessel or tube 8 lagged with electrical tape or other heating media (not shown, but of any suitable known form) to increase the temperature and to compensate for heat losses.
  • the open end of the bell is surrounded by an auxiliary dye tank the level of which is maintained such that a small amount of dye liquor spills over the open end of the bell to act as a lubricant for the continuous sliver 1 being fed into the tube 8.
  • the dye liquor is fed to the tanks 9 and 10 by a variable capacity dye feed pump 12 which pumps a proportion of exhausted dye liquor from the bath 3 and mixes it with a predetermined quantity of fresh dye liquor fed into the circuit at 13.
  • the mixture is then passed through a heat exchanger 14 to heat the dye liquor before feeding it to the tanks 9 and 10 as required under the control of valve 15.
  • the sliver l is indicated in the drawing by a straight line, in practice the sliver fills the tube from side to side in a wave form.
  • the U-tube 8 is surrounded by auxiliary heaters 16 which maintain the temperature of the liquor passing through the tube at the required temperature whereby the dyeing process is facilitated.
  • the U-tube 8 has its lower portion deformed horizontally for the purpose of saving space.
  • a vessel in the form of a U-tube has been described in the above embodiment any other suitable form of vessel can be employed so long as a pressure differential created by any suitable means exists across the inlet and outlet ends of the vessel.
  • the squeeze rollers 21 are variably geared in known manner and are controlled to receive the dyed sliver at a rate not greater than and preferably at the a same speed as that at which the sliver is carried through the U-tube 8 by the dye liquor. In this way the rollers 21 merely take up the material as it is fed from the outlet of the U-tube and do not apply any tension at all to the sliver.
  • the pressure differential across the inlet and outlet ends of the U-tube is created by having the column of liquor in the inlet leg of a greater height than that in the outlet leg. It will be apparent therefore that the rate of flow of the liquor and hence the sliver to be treated can be controlled by the selection of a given difference in height of the liquid in the two legs.
  • the rate of flow of the liquor is adjusted to ensure adequate penetration and treatment of the material by the dye liquor. it is important that the relative speeds of the material and liquor through the tube be kept substantially constant. If the liquor flows too fast relative to the material there is a tendency to tear wool slivers, whereas if the liquor speed is too slow the material tends to pack in the tube.
  • the bulk of the dye liquor is fed into the U-tube 8 through the holes 11 whilst a small amount is fed over the top of the inlet leg of the U-tube for lubrication purposes, the whole of the liquor can if desired be fed over the top of the inlet leg.
  • material such as Wool slivers, which cannot have tension applied to them, can be gently conveyed through a treatment zone and it is also though that the pressure existing towards the base of the U-tube assists in the penetration of the dye into the material.
  • Apparatus for continuously treating fibrous textile material of low tensile strength with a treating liquor comprising a vessel having no moving parts and defining a treatment Zone through which the material is passed, means for inducing a flow of liquor through the vessel whereby the material is carried through the treatment zone entirely by the liquor moving at a substantially constant velocity relative to the speed of the material under conditions in which substantially no tensile stress is applied to the material being treated, means for heating the liquor during its passage through the treatment zone, means for receiving the exhausted liquor after its passage through the treatment zone, means for recirculating the 4 exhausted liquor to be proportionately mixed with a supply of fresh liquor and means for passing the mixed liquor to the treatment zone.
  • the vessel is in the form of a U-tube through which the material is passed, dye liquor being fed to the inlet leg of the tube to maintain a greater column of liquor in the inlet leg than in the outlet leg thereby creating a pressure differential across the inlet and outlet legs to induce a liquor flow by which the material is carried through the tube.
  • Apparatus as claimed in claim 2 in which a proportion of the liquor is fed to the inlet leg of the U-tube through perforations therein, the remaining liquor being fed to the U-tube above the liquor-level in the inlet leg to act as a lubricant for the infeed of textile material to the U-tube.
