<p>A new apparatus (2) for use in an improved dyeing process is described which allows textile materials, such as cotton yarn, to be treated in one or more consecutive steps at the one location or within the one workstation without manually moving the material so as to reduce the time required for treating the material. One form of the apparatus (2) comprises a main conduit (33) in fluid communication with a distributor (44) comprising a plurality of radial spokes (40) extending from the main conduit (33) to a circular ring main (48) from which a plurality of spindles (50) extend in parallel relationship to each other and to the main conduit (33) for treating the material wound in bobbins (58) located on the spindles (52) by exposing the material to a variety of fluids such as water and air. The main conduit (33) and distributor (44) including its components (46, 48, 50, 54) rotate in unison to effect rotation of the material in order to effect improvement in the processing of the yarn and to reduce the treatment time.</p> |
