Definitions
- the present disclosure is directed to a process and apparatus for the wet-treating, fulling and/or kneading of textile material lengths which comprises at least one liquor container adapted to contain a treatment liquor, said liquor container containing a sieve drum means, rotatably disposed therein, drive means for rotating said sieve drum means, a liquid-permeable trough means provided in the liquor container and extending a distance from the surface of the sieve drum means, said trough means and the surface of said sieve drum means defining a compression channel therebetween, inlet means for overfeeding the material to be treated to the compression channel thereby plaiting the material at the beginning of said channel, means for supporting and driving the sieve drum means so that it performs an oscill-ating motion during rotation, thereby subjecting the plaited material length in the compression channel to a mechanical treatment due to the varying compression force of the sieve drum means against the plaited material in said compression channel, and outlet means
- the present invention relates to a process and apparatus for the wet-treatment, fulling and/or kneading of expanded textile material lengths, especially fabrics and knit fabrics.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved process and apparatus for the wet-treatment, fulling and/or kneading of expanded textile material lengths, especially fabrics and knit fabrics.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide an improved process and apparatus for treating textile materials wherein the final product exhibits an improved appearance, and is substantially free of tensions.
- the present invention provides an improved process and apparatus for influencing, within wide limits, and always with regard to the respective material to be processed, the final appearance, the cleaning effect, as well as .the removal of tensions of various textile materials.
- wool fabrics for instance, a good final appearance and an effective removal of tensions are the main objectives.
- the cleaning effect in this case is of minor importance.
- polyester fabrics and knit goods on the other hand, the electrostatic nature of the material produces a very great dust content in the material. In this case the cleaning and the removal of tensions in the textile, as well as the shrinking effect are especially important.
- Another important factor for achieving a good final appearance of wool fabrics is the processing period which should be at least several minutes, and in some cases even more than 20 minutes.
- One substantial drawback of such long dwelling times is that the operating speed must be relatively high if a certain production quantity is desired. Therefore it is necessary to provide for a means for varying, within wide limits, 'both the dwelling time and the operating speed.
- the above requirements are readily met by constantly overfeeding the textile material length to the treatment media, thereby forming plaits in said material and by guiding the thus produced package of plaits through a liquor containing bowl on an oscillating sieve drum which is penetrated lby the treatment liquor.
- This overfed material length is at the same time, mechanically treated (pressed) between the sieve drum and a liquid-permeable trough which is arranged underneath the sieve drum and extends a distance from the sieve drum surface. Because of the oscillations of the sieve drum the material is alternately pressed and penetrated by the processing liquor. By this combined process a good cleaning effect, an excellent final appearance and an effective removal of tensions are obtained. Also, the dwelling time is sufficiently long.
- a particular advantageous adjustment of the apparatus to the individual materials to be treated, as well as to the required treatments is obtained if the whole process is subdivided into several stages with varying degrees of overfeeding, varying pressure frequencies and/or liquor ows.
- the overfeed is removed and subsequently renewed between the individual processing stages. This repeated removal and subsequent renewal of the overfeed is especially important for preventing any so-called breaking of the material at the bends produced in the material. Since the bends are constantly shifted, the whole process is made uniform. In any event, processing in stages makes it possible to apply different processing liquors and to use different temperatures at the diverse stages of the process, in accordance with the technical sequence of the process.
- the aforementioned process can also be carried out discontinuously, the only prerequisite being that the ends of the textile material length are sewn together so that an endless length is obtained.
- This type of device is particularly advantageous for smaller production quantities. Besides, it is less expensive as only one single machine unit is needed.
- the apparatus for carrying out the process according to the present invention should comprise at least one liquor container in which a sieve drum is arranged which is penetrated by the processing liquor.
- a liquid-permeable trough is adjoined to this sieve drum in the liquor container.
- the sieve drum and the perforated trough together form a compression channel.
- the sieve drum is supported in such a way, e.g., in eccentric disks, and driven in such a way that it performs an oscillating movement.
- the overfed textile material length is thus subjected to varying pressure forces within the compression channel due to the movement of the sieve drum against the plaited material disposed therein.
- the apparatus is provided with a unit for overfeeding the material length at the beginning of the compression channel and another unit for removing the overfeed at the end of the compression channel.
- the apparatus is provided with a pump which ensures the liquor circulation through the trough, the textile material length and the sieve drum.
- the pump drive is to be variable down to zero.
- the eccentric drive is to be variable to zero, independent of the sieve drum drive.
- the sieve drum drive that is, the sieve drum speed, is also variable within wide limits because of the specific overfeed ratios that are to be obtained. This is ensured by installing an infinitely variable control gear.
- a draining unit e.g. a squeezer and/or suction device between the individual bowls.
- a wetting bowl in front of the processing bowls. This wetting bowl can be designed as a normal immersion trough with a squeezing unit -below the surface of the liquor.
- the sieve drum When using an apparatus in which the sieve drum is designed as a suction drum, it is suggested to arrange a suction pipe with holes within the sieve drum, said suction pipe being connected with a pump outside the processing bowl by means of a pipe joint which effects the transmission of the torque onto the sieve drum.
- a suction pipe With a central borehole in the eccentric disks.
- This outflow drum is penetrated by the processing liquor because of the difference of liquor levels prevailing inside and outside the sieve drum.
- the outflow drum is connected to a collecting vessel for the liquor that Hows out at one end of the drum.
- the oscillating sieve drum can be sealed against this collecting vessel by elongating the front plate of the sieve drum beyond the drum jacket (this elongation should amount to not more than the eccentric deviation) or by fitting a ring flange of ample size to the sieve drum jacket.
- the elongated front plate, that is, the ring ange which is parallel to the side wall of the collecting vessel thus separates the sieve drum from the side wall of the collecting vessel. Negligible clearance losses are compensated by installing a pump of ample size.
- the aforementioned invention relates to a process and apparatus for the continuous treatment of wool fabrics or wool containing synthetic fabrics or knit fabrics which means that now finishing lines for Wool fabrics can be developed.
- a production line for the continuous treatment of the above textile materials comprises the aforementioned apparatus and preceding carbonizing and acidifying machines as well as a subsequent padder for applying the required chemical finishes followed by a unit for drying the textile material length and heat-setting the applied finishes.
- This production line either all or certain individual operations that are necessary for treating wool can be carried out.
- the material can be fed to the first machine, conveyed through the whole line Without any interruption in the process and discharged from the last machine. It is unnecessary to fold the material in between the disperse steps of the process in order to treat it discontinuously in one of the known devices.
- the individual machines can be supervised by only a few operators, which means that there are considerable savings in personal costs.
- the padder serves for applying any kind of chemical finishes to the material.
- This drying unit is preferably designed as a perforated drum dryer which is preceded by a tenter feed section which is subject to heat.
- the materials which can be treated by the apparatus of the present invention include any of the natural or synthetic fibers.
- the natural fibers can include cotton, wool, silk, cellulose, etc.
- the synthetic fibers may comprise synthetic polymers such as polyolefins, e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, etc., polyamides, e.g., nylon 6 obtained by the condensation of caprolactam, nylon 66, obtained by the condensation of hexamethylene diamine with adipic acid, etc., polyester, e.g., polyethylene terephthalate, etc., phenolic resins, e.g., phenol formaldehyde resins, urea formaldehyde resins, etc., polyvinyl materials, e.g., polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, etc., and acrylate resins, such as e.g., polymethylmethacrylate. Copolymers of these materials with one another or with ethylenically uns
- FIG. l is a longitudinal section of the apparatus of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross section of the present apparatus provided with an outllow drum
- FIG. 3 is a cross section of the present apparatus provided with a suction drum
- FIG. 4 is a production line for the treatment of wool fabrics.
- the apparatus of the present invention and particularly according to FIG. 1 comprises a wetting bowl 2 for wetting a textile material length 1.
- the wetting bowl 2 is provided with a pair of squeeze rollers 3 for squeezing the textile material length beneath the surface of the liquor and guide rollers 4 for guiding the material through the wetting liquor.
- the textile material length is then passed through a pair of squeeze rollers 5 and guided onto a chute 6.
- Rollers 5 are controlled by drive mechanism 4S.
- the material is overfed on the chute so that a package of plaits 7 is formed which is then conveyed into a compression channel 8.
- the compression channel 8 is formed by a liquid-permeable trough 9 and a sieve drum 10.
- the sieve drum 10 is supported in eccentric disks 11 and -thus performs an oscillating movement. Because of this oscillating movement of the sieve drum 10 the textile material length is continually subject to a compression, i.e. it is constantly fulled and kneaded. Pulling generally signifies a slight milling of the material. Because of the overfeeding, a great material quantity is fed to the compression channel 8. With a fixed operating speed the dwelling time is suiciently long. At the end of the compression channel, a swivelable feeling unit 12 is arranged. The deflection of this feeler actuates a potentiometer 46 which, in turn, controls the drive mechanism 45 of the pair of squeeze rollers 5.
- This pair of squeeze rollers 5 serves for removing the overfeed which is then renewed on a chute 6 in the following bowl.
- the rst four bowls are provided with outflow drums, according to FIG. 2.
- the last, i.e. the fifth bowl is designed as a suction drum bowl and corresponds to FIG. 3.
- all bowls comprise either suction or outflow drums.
- the combination of both of the abovedescribed systems is also possible.
- the sieve drum 10 has one open front side so that the liquor that ows into the sieve drum 10 can be discharged into a laterally arranged collecting vessel 13.
- a pump 14 At the oor of this collecting vessel there is provided a pump 14.
- the pump drive 15 is installed outside of the bowl and normally is combined with a variable speed gear 16.
- the vessel 13 is sealed against the sieve drum by a ring flange or elongation of the side wall 47.
- the liquor that is pumped back into the bowl flows through the liquid-permeable trough 9, into the compression channel 8 and from there through the material back into the sieve drum 10.
- a drum drive 17 at the front side of the sieve drum which ts against the collecting -vessel 13.
- the drive shaft 18 is pushed through a borehole in the eccentric disks 11.
- Both eccentric disks 11 are driven by a shaft 19 which can be supported in the squeezing unit frame 20.
- the sieve drum 10 is designed as a suction drum.
- a suction pipe 21 arranged which is inserted through a borehole in the eccentric bearing 11. Since the suction pipe 21 also performs an eccentric movement, there must be provided a pipe joint 22 for compensating for this eccentric movement.
- the suction main 24 of a pump 2S and the sieve drum drive 27. This means that the pipe joint 22 as well as the suction pipe 21 affect the drive of the sieve drum 10 via the connecting element 23.
- the drawn-off liquor is guided back into the processing bowl 29 by means of the pump 25, through a main 26.
- it is advantageous to return the liquor to the container at the material discharge end because the oscillating movement of the sieve drum produces a liquor flow towards the feed end of the bowl, that is, the inlet end of the compression channel.
- the pump drive is noted with the number 28.
- FI'G. 4 shows the production line for wool fabrics according to the present invention.
- the individual machine units are arranged in such a way that they can be used either separately or in groups or all together.
- the acidifying machine A is arranged, not at the beginning of the line but beneath a conveyor belt 30.
- the acidifying machine takes in the material which is transported to it in a carriage 31, at its right-hand side.
- the material then passes through the acidifying machine A in several steps, following the arrow 32, is plaited in an additional acidifying trough 33 and finally fed into a carbonizing oven B.
- the sulphuric acid which has been applied to the material in the acidifying machine reacts on the wool portion of the material for a suiciently long period of time so that any vegetable dirt in the wool is burned. If requested, it is possible to plait the material that has left the carbonizing oven B into the carriage 34. However, if the material must be subsequently washed, it is guided on the conveyor 30 in plaited form. This conveyor 30 bridges the machines A and B. The material is then fed into the continuous openwidth washing machine C. The dwelling time is thus further prolonged. The open-width washing machine C has already been described above, so that reference can be made thereto. After having been discharged from the washing machine the material passes a material spray 35 from where it can be plaited into containers, if required.
- the material passes the distance 37 to the padder D into which it can also be fed directly from the carriage 38.
- the padder D is followed by a crabbing machine 39 which comprises a heated roller and a rubber belt 40 around the roller.
- the wet material is held betweenthe rubber belt and the roller and heated up in this manner.
- the liquor is thus evaporated and the ironing effect xes the material measurements and produces a luster or a bulky feel, depending on the nature of the material being treated.
- the material can pass another padder where, for instance, a dyestulf can be applied.
- the absorbed dyestulf is dried and heat-set in the following machine unit marked E.
- the material shrinks under the influence of heat.
- a well known way of avoiding any shrinkage is to dry and heat-set the material on a stenter.
- these kinds of machines have very large dimensions and do not yield the required drying elfect.
- FIG. 4 shows one embodiment E of such a drying and heat-setting device.
- the material is passed onto a stenter 41 outside of the device, said stenter extending over the whole length of the dryer. After having re-reached the inlet end of the dryer, the material length is introduced onto the first d-rum 42. Due to the suction principle, the material is dried much more rapidly on the drums than on the stenter 41. The stenter prevents any shrinkage of the material while it is being lpreliminary heated. When treating heated material, the
- the textile material can subsequently be completely dried on sieve drums which are followed by a cooling drum 43 with an adjoined plaiting device 44.
- An apparatus for the wet-treating, fulling and/or kneading of textile material lengths which comprises at least one liquor container adapted to contain a treatment liquor, said liquor container having a sieve drum means rotatably disposed therein, drive means for rotating said sieve drum means about a longitudinal axis, a liquidpermeable trough means provided in the liquor container and extending a distance from the surface of the sieve drum means, said trough means and the surface of said sieve drum means defining a compression channel therebetween, inlet means for overfeeding the textile material to be treated to the compression channel thereby plaiting the material at the beginning of said channel, means for supporting and moving the sieve drum means so that said sieve drum means performs an oscillating motion transversely to said longitudinal axis during rotation, thereby subjecting the plaited textile material length in the compression channel to a mechanical treatment due to the varying compression force of the sieve drum means against the plaited material in said compression channel and outlet means for drawing said textile material from said compression
- liquid-permeable trough means extends a distance from the surface of the submerged portion of the sieve drum means and is complementary to said surface.
- a chute means provides communication between the inlet squeeze roller means and the compression channel.
- a wetting bowl is provided in front of the inlet squeeze roller means, said wetting bowl containing guide roller means and squeeze roller means for guiding and squeezing the textile material length beneath the surface of the treatment liquor.
- a swivelable feeling element is disposed at the end of the compression channel, said feeling element being deflected by the textile material exiting from said channel and being operatively associated with a potentiometer, which in turn is operatively associated with the outlet squeeze roller means, whereby the deflection of the feeling element actuates said potentiometer to control the drivemeans of the outlet squeeze roller means.
- each outllow drum comprises a sieve drum means with one open front side which communicates with a laterally disposed collecting vessel containing a pump in the lower portion thereof, said pump recirculating the liquor that flows out of the sieve drum means into the collecting vessel back into the liquor container.
- each outflow drum is provided with a drum drive at that side of the sieve drum which is adjacent the collecting vessel.
- each outflow drum is provided with a drive shaft which is supported at both ends by eccentric disks, the drum drive commu-- nicating with the drive shaft through one of said eccentric disks.
- each suction drum comprises a sieve drum means supported at both ends by eccentric bearings and having a suction pipe disposed therein which is inserted through a borehole in one of said bearings.
- a pump means and a suction main communicate with the suction pipe through a connecting element and a pipe joint so that the treatment liquor which is drawn out of the sieve drum means by the suction pipe is drawn by the pump means through the pipe joint, the connecting element and the suction main and returned to the liquor container.
- suction main returns the treatment liquor to that end of the liquor container from which the textile material is discharged.
- a process for the wet-treatment, fulling and/or kneading of expanded textile material lengths, particularly wool fabrics and knit fabrics or wool containing synthetic fabrics and knit fabrics which comprises introducing a textile material length in a plaited condition onto the surface of a sieve drum means by overfeeding said material to said sieve drum means, compressing said plaited material length between a liquid-permeable trough containing a liquid treatment liquor and being positioned adjacent to the surface of the sieve drum means, subjecting said compressed material to a mechanical treatment by imparting an oscillating motion to the sieve drum means, and removing the plaited condition from the textile material after said textile material is withdrawn from said treatment liquor.
- An apparatus for the wet-treatment of textile material lengths which comprises at least one bowl means containing a treatment liquor; a sieve drum means rotatably mounted about a longitudinal axis within said bowl means; a liquid permeable trough means positioned in said bowl means extending closely adjacent to said sieve drum means to form a compression channel therebetween; feed means for overfeeding a textile material length onto said sieve drum means and into said compression channel whereby the textile material enters said channel in a plaited condition; means for rotating said sieve drum means about said longitudinal axis and for effecting an oscillating motion of said sieve drum means transversely to said longitudinal axis whereby the textile material in the plaited condition within said compression channel is subjected to v mechanical treatment due to the varying compression forces applied therein and means for withdrawing said textile material from said compression channel.
- a process for the wet-treatment of expanded textile material lengths which comprises constantly overfeeding a textile material length onto the surface of a sieve drum means to form plaits in said textile material, guiding said plaited textile material through a treatment liquor between the surface of the sieve drum means and a liquid permeable trough means disposed within said liquor, subjecting said plaited textile material to a mechanical treatment with varying pressure between the sieve drum means and said trough by imparting an oscillating motion to said sieve drum means, and thereafter removing the textile material Ifrom said treatment liquor and from the surface of said sieve drum means.
