Abstract
An apparatus for treating a fiber material such as textiles is shown. The fiber material is fed to a reactor volume having an upper and a lower end, and the reactor volume is limited by a first filter in a lower end of the reactor volume and a second filter in the upper end of the reactor volume. A flow of solvent is led through the reactor volume entering the reactor volume through the first filter and exiting the reactor volume through the second filter.
Claims15
Apparatus for treating textile fibers in a solvent suspension comprising a reactor (1), wherein the reactor (1) comprises
- a lower end (3) and an upper end (2),
- a first filter (5) positioned near the lower end and a second filter (4) positioned near the upper end, the distance between the first filter (5) and the second filter (4) defines a reaction volume for treatment of the textile fibers,
- an inlet for solvent (6) positioned below the first filter (5),
- an outlet for solvent (7) positioned above the second filter (4),
- an inlet for fiber material (8) positioned below and normally in proximity of the second filter (4), and
- an outlet for suspended or wetted fiber material (9) positioned above and normally in proximity of the first filter (5),
- where solvent is forced through the reactor (1) from the inlet for solvent (6) to the outlet for solvent (7), and the fiber material is moved from the inlet for fiber material (8) to the outlet for suspended fiber material (9).
A process for treating textile fibers in a reactor, wherein
- fiber material is fed to a reactor volume having an upper and a lower end, and the reactor volume is limited by a first filter in a lower end of the reactor volume and a second filter in an upper end of the reactor volume, and
- a flow of solvent is led through the reactor volume entering the reactor volume through the first filter and exiting the reactor volume through the second filter.
