APPARATUS FOR LIQUID-TREATING FIBER MATERIALS AND DRYING SAID MATERIALS

摘要

An apparatus for the liquid treatment and drying of fiber materials has a container with first and second chambers communicating with each other, and means located within the container support the material in a position between the chambers so that they communicate with each other solely through the intermediary of the material. The suction side of a vacuum pump is connected to the first chamber for evacuating it during treatment of the material, and to the second chamber through a condenser to facilitate drying of the material by means of air and/or steam introduced through a conduit into the first chamber.
