ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for applying textile treatment finishing agents to garments or garment work pieces is provided. The apparatus includes a rotating drum and a nozzle for generating a fine mist or fog of textile treatment agents inside the rotating drum. The apparatus can be constructed as a dedicated processing machine, or a conventional, industrial washer or dryer can be fitted with an appropriate nozzle and feed lines to provide a dual purpose machine which can be used for its originally intended purpose, and can be selectively used for applying textile treatment agents. Uniform coverage of the surface of the garment is assured by tumbling the garments through the fog created by the nozzle means. By controlling the size of the droplets, and the time during which mist or fog is generated, the amount of chemical agent absorbed by the garments can be controlled. The use of the finely divided, air dispersed liquid agent avoids wasted processing chemicals and permits the use of more concentrated chemical agents.
