Definitions

  • An improved treatment chamber for treating a continuously moving web in which the treatment chamber is constructed in a manner such that it can be divided into sub-chambers or used as a large chamber by simply opening or closing a lock between the subchambers whereby different types of web treatment may be efficiently carried out in a single treatment apparatus.
  • Webs are treated differently depending on the type of material being treated and the type of dye which has been applied to it. Some dyes and/or materials require shorter times in the steam atmosphere than do others. For example, webs made of a mixture of acryl and cotton are normally processed for a steam time of 8 to minutes. On the otherhand, indantherene dyed webs may only be processed for a steaming time of approximately 1 minute without the dye material running. Thus, if a small treatment chamber is used for treating acryl and cotton materials the materials must be passed through the steamer at a very slow rate of speed resulting in uneconomical operation since only a small quantity of material can be treated in a given period of time.
  • the improved treatment chamber of the present invention has the capability of treating a continuously moving web for different periods of time without excesssive variations in the rate of speed at which the web is moved through the treatment chamber.
  • the treatment chamber is divided into two or more sub'chambers with intermediate walls between the sub-chambers.
  • Each of the walls contains a controllable steam lock which can be either opened to permit steam to pass between the chambers or closed to isolate the chambers from each other.
  • the lock may be opened and all the sub-chambers filled with steam to obtain the required treatment.
  • one or more of the sub-chambers may be isolated and steam only supplied to the remaining sub-chambers.
  • the treatment chamber is divided into two sub-chambers with a lock between them.
  • the second of the sub-chambers is equipped with washing or rinsing apparatus so that when operating using only one of the chambers for steam treatment the other may be used for washing or rinsing.
  • This washing and rinsing equipment is designed so that it may be inactivated when it is desired to use both sub-chambers for steam treatment.
  • FIGURE is a vertical longitudinal section through a ribbon steamer or treatment chamber constructed according to the present invention.
  • the treatment chamber 1 is divided into two separate sub-chambers designated by the brackets 17 and 18 using a well 15 containing water lock 16.
  • the water lock 16 is filled with water which effectively acts as a barrier between the atmosphere in the subchamber 17 and that in the sub-chamber 18.
  • the sub-chamber 17 may be filled with steam while the sub chamber 18 contains only air.
  • the subchamber 18 may be filled with steam with the subchamber 17 containing air.
  • the use of a lock such as the water lock 16 permits ease of conversion from an apparatus having two chambers to a single chamber apparatus. By simply draining the water from the water lock 16 and filling both sub-chambers with steam continuous steam treatment through the total length of the chamber 1 may be maintained. Other types of locks may also be used.
  • a labyrith structure with suction similar to that described in connection with the entrance and exit locks, and which extents transversely on both sides of the web may be used.
  • a sealing roller pair between which the web passes, may equally well be used.
  • thesuction type lock it is only necessary to turn off the suction in order to permit the atmospheres in the two sub-chambers to communicate with each other and to establish a lengthened treatment chamber.
  • With the sealing rollers a similar effect may be obtained by separating the rollers from one another.
  • Steam for the chamber is provided by using a plurality of heating coils 14 to heat water 13 which is placed in the bottom of the chamber. Separate heating coils 14 and 14' are provided to heat the water 13 and 13 in chambers 17 and 18 respectively.
  • the heating coils are operable separately and means are provided to supply to and drain water from the separate sub-chambers. Thus, when operating with steam in only one subchamber, the water may be drained out of the other and its associated heating coils turned off.
  • steam may be generated in either the chamber 17 or the chamber 18 It is preferred, however, that the chamber 17 be used for steaming in which case, when the chamber 18 is not also required for ste'aming, it may be used for washing or rinsing.
  • washing and rinsing apparatus 19 When only the chamber 17 is being used for steaming the trough of apparatus 19 may be filled with water for rinsing the material after steam treatment. If the full length of the treatment chamber 1 is required for steaming the rinsing water may be drained and the washing or rinsing apparatus 19 deactivated when the lock is opened.
  • the first chamber is adapted for steaming the second for rinsing and oxidation and the third for washing.
  • the second and third chambers will also be usable for steaming when required.
  • the treatment in two different atmospheres e.g. steam and some other gas,
  • the second sub-chamber may be filled with a different treatment atmosphere with the first one provided with steam as described above.
  • the types of locks described above will provide excellent isolation of the two different atmospheres.
  • a treatment chamber for treating a continuously moving web of textile material comprising:
  • an elongated treatment chamber having means for directing the moving textile web in a winding path therethrough;
  • b. means iii-cluding at least one wall and a lock through which the web passes for separating said elongatedchamber into a plurality of at least to sub-chambers, said lock being operable to be opened, to allow free passage of the atmosphere from one chamber to the other and closed to seal one chamber from the other; and i c. means to individually and selectively. provide a treatment atmosphere to each of the subchambers.
  • said means to provide a treatment atmosphere comprises means to individually supply steam to each of said subchambers.
  • the means for subdividing said chamber into two subchambers comprises ,a permanently positioned wall having installed therein a lock which is operable so as to be opened and closed to respectively permit communication between the atmosphere in one chamber with that in the other and to seal one chamber from the other.
  • treatment apparatus for further treatment comprises washing and rinsing apparatus.
  • one of said sub-chambers include means forproviding a treatment atmosphere which is different from the treatment atmosphere in at least one of the other sub-chambers.
