An apparatus for applying treating liquor to a traveling textile web having a vat containing treating liquor and a plurality of web guiding rolls submerged in the treating liquor and arranged in a substantially vertical sequence with adjacent rolls being in contact to form nips therebetween. The upper rolls are supported in the vat for resting under their own weight on the lower roll to apply pressure at the nips on the textile web. A drive motor drives at least one of the rolls with the other rolls being driven by surface contact with the drive roll for positive feed of the traveling web at a uniform surface speed through the treating liquor. Guide rolls guide the textile web to the vat at substantially the same surface speed as that of the plurality of rolls. A pair of driven squeeze rolls above the treating liquor form a nip through which the textile web is guided as it travels from the treating liquor, with squeeze rolls being driven at substantially the same surface speed as the guide rolls.

A method of cleaning residual dye material from rollers of a textile fabric drying oven during passage of a travelling cloth lead therethrough. The method involves applying a cleaning material to the travelling cloth lead in advance of the oven and rotating the rollers to be cleaned at a surface speed different from the surface speed of the cloth lead to cause a cleaning action of the cloth lead against the rollers. The change in roller speed can be accomplished progressively, either by acceleration or deceleration and can be accomplished on the rollers individually or in sets.

An infrared dryer includes an operating duct being at least as wide as a spread out textile fabric web passing through the duct for treatment, outer ducts disposed outside the operating duct, heating walls formed of adjacent wall elements substantially parallel to the surface of the fabric web separating said operating duct from the outer ducts, infrared radiators disposed on the wall elements, pivot axes about which the wall elements are pivotable through substantially 180.degree. for moving the infrared radiators between the operating duct and the outer ducts, an air suction device, and a device for directing air into the air suction device from any of the ducts containing the infrared radiators at a given moment.
