  • the third treatment stage includes at least one suction 5 9 drum washing bath means positioned behind the steam treatment chamber for washing the impregnated textile material
  • the fourth stage includes a sieve [56] References Clted drum dryer for drying the knit textile material.
  • An object of the present invention is to improve the conventional continuous apparatus for drying tubes of textile materials in such a manner that the production can be increased without substantially increasing the size and expense of the existing apparatus.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved apparatus for the continous finishing of knit fabrics and hosiery goods which produces an orderly mesh structure and an improved and more uniform quality in the final product.
  • the spreading device can have a common draw-off device, for example a pair of rolls or a sieve drum subjected to a suction draft, and can also preferably exhibit a common feeding device for example driven rolls and/or a conveyor belt for all webs of knit fabrics and hosiery goods.
  • the spreading device is to be provided with exchangeable spreader elements, for example spreader rods and brackets of varying widths, or with spreader elements which are adjustable with respect to their widths, so that varying and changing widths of material can be processed.
  • the roller can preferably be replaced by a sieve drum, whereby an exchange of liquids from bath to bath can be likewise eliminated.
  • an additional apparatus which can be inserted, depending upon requirements, either in front of and/or also after the drying stage.
  • This apparatus can be a device which continously telescopes the fibers or knit stitches mechanically into one another. This measure exhibits the advantage that the material, which travels in a uniform rhythm through the various treatment stages, and which thus exhibits a quite uniform consistency over the entire width and length thereof, can also be continuously subjected to a mechanical shrinking procedure, which uniformly improves the quantity of the material along the entire length thereof.
  • the sieve drum steamer is elevated thereby providing the inlet for the material being treated at the bottom of the sieve drum.
  • This is in contrast to the otherwise customary sieve drum steamers.
  • This feature has the advantage that, even in case of a rather large inlet opening, a clear separation of the steam atmosphere is ensured due to the different specific gravitiesof steam and air, and the spreading elements can be extended through the inlet opening directly up to the surface of the sieve drum.
  • This arrangement of the spreading elements in the steaming process according to the present invention is especially important, since it is thereby possible to compress the material upon introduction into the steaming chamber on the spreading elements, in the conveying direction, and to transfer the material in this compresse'dcondition to the sieve 'drum which is subjected to a suction draft.
  • the material is steamed by means of saturated steam or slightly superheated steam at a temperature of about 103 C. to achieve the best shrinking effects. It is unnecessary to keep the steam atmosphere entirely free of air.
  • each individual web of material i.e., material webs of varying thickness
  • a separate, adjustable storage table which can be raised and lowered in height and to control the depositing speed by the stacking height, for example, by scanning this height by a light barrier and employing the light for controlling the lowering mechanism of the lifting table.
  • the pallet on the lifting and lowering device is to be exchangeable, so that it can be adapted to the respective width of the tubular material.
  • holding strips are disposed laterally. In the abovementioned assembly, these holding strips can extend over the entire operating width, so that several tubes can be retained together. As soon as a new layer of folds arrives, the respective holding strip is folded upwardly and then replaced onv the new layer.
  • This procedure can be controlled, for example, by way of a cam plate.
  • the lowest position of the folding table is to be at the level of the upper surface of the conveyor carts, so that the thus-deposited stacks can be pushed from the folding table onto the conveyor cart without being lifted.
  • the drive of the feeding belt can be mechanically coupled with that of the laying (folding) guide, two oppositely switched free-wheeling units being provided between these two drives.
  • the feeding belt is arranged to be ascending in the direction toward its outlet side.
  • a first feed side above the belt, a second feed side, above the belt, a
  • this preconditioning assembly provides, separately from the continous treatment device, a preconditioning assembly, By means of this assembly, the tubes are untwisted. Furthermore, this preconditioning assembly also provides a hole detector which can operate optically or mechanically and a knot detector. The hole detector determines the presence of holes in the material and marks such holes on the goods. By means of the knot detector, twists in the tubular material are detected so that said twists can be manually removed.
  • This preconditioning assembly can be coupled with a depositing device which preferably deposits the tubular material in folds on carts. In this connection, the carts are adjustable in their widths to accorrunodate the respective material.
  • One single such preconditioning assembly is sufficient for supplying a plant for multipleweb operation, for example, for processing four to six parallel webs.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preconditioning assembly for folding the material to be treated
  • the tubes are conveyed to a suction drum 18 disposed in a steamer housing 19.
  • the tubes are subjected to an intense throughflow of steam and thus are heated uniformly to a steam temperature of about lO0lO3 C.
  • the tubes are deposited in folded condition on a conveyor belt 20, where they remain for a certain period of time within the steam atmosphere.
  • a trough for a material buffer provided with a shrinking effect which is uniform over its entire length.
  • the shrinking of textile material processed in a discontinuous fashion is problematic insofar as the material exhibits a differing consistency, depending on the respective preceding treatment, for example storage or perhaps a steaming process with non-uniform results over the length of the material, etc. This defect cannot be cured by a shrinking process conducted uniformly over the length.
  • the sieve drum dryer 30 inserted after the shrinking device 28, 29 is equipped with drums 31 subjected to a suction draft, over which the material is alternatively guided and held by said suction draft.
  • a cooling drum (chill roll) 32 is provided at the end of the sieve drum dryer.
  • the latter can, again, be preferably designed as a sieve drum subjected to a suction draft.
  • the material is cooled by means of ambient air.
  • the tubes once again enter a trough 33 and pass from there, by way of spreaders 34, into a sieve drum steamer 35 containing a sieve drum 36 subjected to a suction draft.
  • the sieve drum steamer 35 is disposed on an elevated level and the inlet for the material is arranged on the underside thereof.
  • the feeding belt 51 is mounted to be pivotable about the axis of its drive roll, and a laying (folding) guide fantail 54 is hingedly connected at the delivery end of the belt, the other end of this fantail being likewise hingedly connected with the folding guide 43.
  • the apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 2A exhibits the essential advantage that the material can be guided without tension during the entire treatment and thus can shrink without tension.
  • a compression of the material is possible in all sieve drum baths, and furthermore in the sieve belt steamer as well as in the sieve drum dryer, and the sieve drum steamer. By means of this compression, a better shrinking of the material is obtained.
  • the compression is effected in an effective manner by having the respective subsequent drum run somewhat more slowly than the preceding drum. The difference in speed can be adjusted and controlled by means of variable speed gears.
  • the continuous treatment, particularly the continuous bleaching of tricot exhibits an additional.
  • the illustrated plant of the present invention is particularly suitable for a H O bleaching process.
  • An apparatus for the treatment of knit textile materials which comprises first spreader means for introducing a plurality of webs or tubes of said knit textile material in a spread-out state in a side-by-side relationship into the first stage of a plurality of treatment stages, said first treatment stage including means for impregnating the knit textile material with a treatment liquor and means associated with the impregnating means for dehydrating the knit textile material after impregnation, a second treatment stage including a steam-treatment chamber having means for conveying the knit textile material through said chamber, a third treatment stage including at least one suction drum washing bath means disposed behind the steam-treatment chamber for washing the impregnated knit textile material, and a fourth treatment stage including a sieve drum dryer provided behind the suction drum washing bath means for drying the knit textile material, means for conveying said knit textile material through each of the treatment stages substantially without tension and means for guiding said material therebetween, and additional spreader means for spreading out the material spreader means is provided in front of the impregnating means in an inclined downward direction.
  • the impregnating means includes a roller which imparts a buckling effect to the textile material so that it is devoid of tension during the impregnating step.
  • the shrinking means comprises two oppositely rotating sieve rolls operating at differing speeds, the textile material being mechanically compressed between said sieve rolls.
  • a second steamtreatment chamber containing at least one sieve drum and conveying means is provided after the sieve drum drier, said second steam-treatment chamber disposed at an elevated level so that the inlet thereto is on the underside of the sieve drum conveying means.
  • the folding device includes a pivotable trunk piler provided with a drive means for depositing the knit textile material in a folded condition in storage carts.
  • the pivoted trunk piler comprises a folding guide driven by a crank means in cooperation with a rack, a pinion and a belt.
  • the folding guide consists of a pair of rolls and a storage frame.
  • the feeding means is a conveyor belt which conveys the material to a folding guide fantail WhlCh coopera es with the folding guide in laying the textile material in folds in the storage carts.
  • a transfer roll is associated with the drive roll of the feeding conveyor belt, said transfer roll rotating in the same direction as said drive roll and forming, together with the feeding conveyor belt a trough for a material buffer unit.
