ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a process and apparatus for wetting textile fibers and the like. The process comprises supporting a mass of fiber to be wetted upon an air and water permeable support, the support being mounted between the closed bottom and the open upper end of a kier or the like. With a mass of fiber in place, liquid such as water or the like is applied to the top of the mass of fiber. This forces the occluded air out of the fiber in a downward direction and this air is removed from beneath the support. The disclosed apparatus is capable of carrying out the foregoing process. Essentially, the kier is provided with a vent to atmosphere just below the bottom of the support. A supply of liquid is maintained in the bottom of the kier and a pump is provided to supply this liquid to the top of the mass of fiber, for wetting the same.
