Wire (62), the surface of which is to be contacted by treatment liquid such as for cleaning purposes, is passed through successive treatment zones (2, 12) and an interposed intermediate zone or interposed intermediate zones. A vibratory motion is induced in the wire (62) in the intermediate zone or zones by means of one or more hydro-converter assemblies (50) positioned in the treatment zones, and or mechanical or electro-mechanical means (not shown), or sufficient amplitude as to shake any residual treatment liquid from the wire in the intermediate zone or zones. Inwardly directed jets in nozzles (26) positioned at inlet and outlet ends of the apparatus and successive treatment zones substantially limit egress of treatment liquid or vapour to atmosphere or to adjacent treatment zones. All treatment liquid and vapour from the intermediate and treatment zones is returned to the associated reservoir (6, 16) such that no venting to atmosphere occurs. |
