Treatment apparatus for chemical modification of animal fibers of continuous web form

摘要

A mechanism for treating animal fibers of a continuous web form (10) so as not to spoil inherent properties of the animal fibers such as hand-feeling and water repellency, so as to improve resistance to felting (shrinkage) and pilling. The mechanism includes: a tank (11) filled with a treatment liquid; a net-conveyor constituted by mesh-belts (12a, 12b) sandwiching the structure for conveying it through the liquid in the tank; a treating-liquid circulation system including a gas-liquid mixing pump (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) connected to a suction-port (15a, 15b, 16a, 16b) in the tank and pumping out the liquid, a static mixer (14) connected downstream of the pump, and a discharge nozzle (19) placed opposite the suction-port relative to the mesh belts in the tank, the discharge nozzle being connected downstream of the mixer; and an ozonizer (27) for supplying ozone gas into the system. <IMAGE>
