Installation for the centrifugal spin-drying or combined spin-drying and drying of fibrous or porous materials comprising, in combination, a spin-drier and a material carrier adapted to receive at least one pile of spools or similar of fibrous or porous materials, said material carrier being formed from a plurality of supports each adapted to receive a pile of spools or similar, disposed along at least one ring about a common axis formed by a central caisson, said spin-drier being equipped with a basket comprising a plurality of pockets or similar each adapted to receive a pile of spools or similar carried by a support of the material carrier, said supports being designed to be each housed in a pocket of the basket of said spin-drier and the common axis about which said supports are disposed in a ring being formed by a hollow central caisson adapted to fit into the central pivot of the centrifugal spin-drier.
In an installation for the centrifugal spin-drying of fibrous or porous materials which comprises, in combination, a spin-drier and a material carrier for receiving at least one pile of spools of fibrous or porous materials said material carrier formed from a plurality of supports each adapted to receive a pile of spools, disposed along at least one ring about a common axis formed by a central caisson, said spin-drier being equipped with a basket for receiving said material carrier, said basket comprising a plurality of pocket means each adapted to receive a pile of spools carried by a support of the material carrier, said supports being adapted to be each housed in a pocket means of the basket of said spin-drier and the common axis about which said supports are disposed in a ring is formed by a hollow central caisson adapted to fit onto a central pivot of the centrifugal spin-drier.
The centrifugal spin-drying installation as claimed in 22, wherein said means adapted for providing drying at the same time as spin-drying further comprise means for boosting the pressure of the drying fluid.
An apparatus for treating fibrous materials comprising rotor means, means on said rotor means for retaining the material to be treated, a casing member surrounding the rotor means, said casing member being in fluid communication with the material retained by said retaining means, inlet means associated with said casing means for permitting fluid to enter into the casing member during spinning so as to treat said material, exit means associated with said casing member for removing the fluid after treatment, seal means for sealing said casing during and after rotation and means for orienting the flow of fluid from said inlet means and through said outlet means during rotation in cooperation with said seal means and reversing the flow of fluid when rotation is stopped.
