Definitions

  • the length of fabric dyed on a beam by organic solvents was dried in the dyeing device, for instance by first centrifuging the dye beam, and then removing the remaining solvent content from the roll by a gaseous drying medium.
  • this type of drying process involves certain problems of design and operation.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device for drying lengths of fabric dyed on a beam by organic solvents, which permits the solvent still present in the fabric after the dyeing process to be removed from the fabric in the flat spread-out condition, without the operative coming into harmful contact with the fabric between the end of the dyeing process and the end of the drying process while the fabric still contains solvent residues.
  • this object is achieved by means of a carriage for conveying the beam from the dyeing apparatus to a drying housing having a conveyor supported in a chamber below the carriage, and in communication with the housing, the carriage having means for rotating the beam to unwind the fabric and deposit it on the conveyor.
  • the drying of the fabric in a device separated f om the dyeing apparatus has the advantage that the dyeing and drying processes are independent of each other, so that the short dyeing times which can be achieved by dyeing with organic solvents are not affected by the longer periods needed for drying. In this way the dyeing and drying plants can be utilized to the optimum extent.
  • the dye beam is slowly rotated by the rotary drive provided in the carriagewhile the beam is conveyed from the dyeing apparatus to the drying device, the emergence of solvent from the roll during conveyance can be practically eliminated.
  • this permits the use of a conveyor carriage open at its top, without any nuisance from smells during conveyance.
  • the movement of the carriage conveying the dye beam into a chamber above a conveyor belt in the drying device means that during unwinding from the dye beam, the fabric is taken by its own weight on to the conveyorbeltbelow, by which it is then taken through the. drying device. In this way neither complicated mechanical devices nor operative staff are needed in the area where the fabric is conveyed to the drying device.
  • the solvent vapors formed during unwinding of the roll from the dye beam in the carriage area have a high specific gravity, i.e., heavier than air, and thus sink into the chamber lying below and containing the drying deviceconveyor belt. In this way the upper chamber which takes the carriage is practically free of smells after all the fabric has been unrolled, so that the operatives are not troubled while the carriage is being changed.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the: carriage immediately in front of the dyeing apparatus
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the drying device with the carriage inside a housing.
  • the length of fabric dyed in a beam dyeing apparatus 1 by means or organic solvents is conveyed to a drying device 2 by a carriage 3.
  • the dye beam 4 has each of its two flanges 5 mounted on pairs of rollers 6 which are seated in channels 7 which in turn, and together with the dye beam 4, can be moved in an axial direction by means of rollers 8. By using these rollers 8 the dye beam 4 with the channels 7 can be moved out of the dyeing apparatus 1 and into the transport carriage 3.
  • the carriage 3 is provided with a rotary drive motor 9 whereby the dye beam 4 can be slowly rotated in the carriage.
  • the carriage 3 is open at the top, and at the end face opposite the rotary drive 9 also comprises an opening (preferably closable) for inserting and removing the dye beam 4.
  • the drying device 2 shown very schematically, in
  • a housing 15 wherein the transport carriage 3 can be moved along with the dye beam 4 to be dried.
  • the fabric 16 drops through an. aperture in the grid 14 directly on to the conveyor belt 13 below, is taken by said belt through the various drying chambers, and is dried in a manner notof present concern.
  • the solvent vapors formed during unwinding of the fabric from the dye beam 4 can also sink through the apertures in the grid 14 down into the chamber 10, so that the housing 15 remains largely free of smells.
  • the access door (not shown) to housing 15 can be opened, and the carriage 3 moved out without any nuisance from smells for the operative.
  • the apparatus shown is only to be considered as an example. Numerous variations are possible within the scope of the invention.
  • the fabric 16 unwound from the dye beam 4 can be led between a pair of driven squeeze rollers 17 before it reaches the conveyor belt 13.
  • the conveyor belt can be made to rise obliquely in the chamber 10, whereby to keep smaller the total height of the device. It is, however, important that the volume of the chamber 10 is sufficient to receive and accommodate the solvent vapors descending because of their high specific gravity.
  • the chamber can be cooled by a conventional refrigeration unit R, by circulating cooling fluid about the walls of the chamber 10, or in any other conventional manner, to condense the solvent vapor.
  • Apparatus'especially adapted for drying lengths of fabric wound on a rotatable beam and dyed with a liquid the vapor of which is heavier than air said apparatus comprising housing means forming vertically spaced, communicating chambers; a partition interposed between said chambers and having openings therein; means for supporting said beam in the upper chamber; means for rotating said beam in such direction that fabric unwound from said beam descends into the lower chamber; conveyor means in said lower chamber in a position to receive unwound fabric and convey such fabric out of the lower chamber in spreadout condition; and means for cooling said lower roll means interposed between said beam and said conveyor means for squeezing fabric unwound from said beam.
  • said partition comprises a grid interposed between said chambers, said grid having an opening for the passage of said fabric and other openings for the passage of heavier than air vapors.
  • Apparatus as set forth in claim 5 including second rollers supporting said channel members for movement.
  • Apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein the means for supporting said beam in said upper chamber comprises a carriage.
