Abstract
The invention pertains to an element (21) for washing or treating a yarn or similar structure with a fluid, the element comprising a cavity (23) for guiding the yarn and at least one fluid jet (26) for directing the fluid into the yarn, characterised in that the cavity (23) is tube-shaped and communicates with the outside of the element (21) via a slot (24). With the said element the formation of aerosel is avoided and the consumption of fluid is halved.
Claims19
An element for washing a yarn or similar structure with a washing fluid, the element at least comprising:
- a cavity for guiding the yarn;
- and
- at least one fluid jet for directing the washing fluid into the yarn, wherein the cavity is tubed-shaped and communicates with the outside of the element via a slot, and the cross-section of the tubular cavity is one of V-shaped or is provided with a V-shaped insert with the vertex of the V pointing away from the at least one jet.
An element for washing or treating yarn, comprising:
- at least two building blocks;
- a slot between two adjacent building blocks;
- a circular cavity formed by opposing grooves formed in the two adjacent building blocks, the slot terminating in the circular cavity;
- a fluid cavity formed in each building block;
- at least one fluid jet extending from the fluid cavity to the circular cavity;
- and
- a fluid passage system feeding fluid to the fluid cavity.
