ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for wet processing traveling continuous-length textile material includes a narrow U-shaped container for processing liquid through which the material passes in a U-shaped path and an agitating assembly positioned in the container between the reaches of the material path for reciprocating movement parallel to the material. The agitating assembly includes a plurality of unequally spaced displacement members which extend across the width of the material and a substantial extent of the container transversely between the material reaches to define relatively narrow localized spacings between the displacement members and the container walls. Each reciprocal movement of the agitating assembly displaces a relatively large volume of the contained liquid forcing it to pass through the localized spacings at a relatively higher velocity than the actual movement of the agitating assembly, enhancing the liquid application to the material. The unequal spacing of the displacement members prevents repetitive patterned liquid application to the material. A system of circulating the processing liquid through the apparatus and continuously adding fresh liquid maintains the liquid in a clean state and removes lint and debris from the apparatus to prevent their accumulation therein.
