Method and Apparatus for Creating Patterns in Dyed Textiles by Water-Jet Treatment

摘要

The invention relates to a method for creating patterns on dyed materials ( 1 ), comprising the following steps: a continuous length of a dyed material ( 1 ) of a predetermined width is transported on a support element ( 2 ) in a machine direction with a selected web speed; at least one jet distributor is provided above the dyed material ( 1 ) that is transported on the support element ( 2 ), said distributor producing columns or bars of fluid jets ( 4 ), which are produced with a selected distributor pressure and spray onto the opposing face of the dyed material ( 1 ) that is transported on the support element ( 2 ); the fluid jets ( 4 ) strike the opposing face of the dyed material ( 1 ) whilst the latter is transported on the support element ( 2 ) in the direction of the machine; the fluid jets ( 4 ) traverse the defined openings ( 6 ) of a template ( 5 ) before striking the opposing face of the dyed material ( 1 ).
