A new apparatus for treating substrates with fluids, as well as a corresponding fluid treatment method, is disclosed. The new apparatus includes a new configuration of fluid jet injectors which substantially overcomes the problem of dragout, in which fluid impinged upon an area of a substrate is retained on that area, preventing fresh fluid from reaching the impinged area. This new configuration also avoids imposing torques on substrates, and substantially reduces the need for rollers and guides for transporting substrates.

Fluid treatment apparatus and method

A fluid treatment apparatus including a first fluid flow manifold having at least one fluid head positioned on a first side of a surface of a substrate to be treated by a fluid. The first fluid flow manifold includes at least two sets of a plurality of fluid jet injectors formed therein and apparatus for directing a fluid into the fluid jet injectors. Each of the fluid jet injectors creates a fluid jet impinging upon the surface of the substrate. Apparatus is interconnected with the first fluid flow manifold for supplying fluid to the fluid injector jets. Apparatus connected between the supply apparatus and the first fluid flow manifold alternates a flow of the fluid through the sets of fluid jet injectors. A fluid source is connected to the fluid supplying apparatus.
