A process for creating decolorized areas in dyed fabric, the process comprising the step of contacting wet dyed fabric with a pelletized decolorizing agent and optionally also including quenching the active decolorant present in the decolorizing pellet with a decolorant neutralizer.

Decolorizing dyed fabric or garments

A dispensing and handling system for solutions is disclosed. The system includes a container (11) for mixing, storing and dispensing a use solution (44) through a spigot (17). The container (11) is mounted upon a cart (12), and is interconnected to a water supply conduit (16) and a concentrate solution tube (14). The concentrate solution (15) is contained within containers or bags (13). An aspirator (26) is permanently mounted within the storage container (11). The water conduit (16) and pick-up tube (14) are releasably connected to the storage container (11) by means of a quick-connect assembly (35). Also disclosed is a method for storing and handling solutions.

Chemical solution dispensing and handling system

An apparatus and method for mixing and dispensing chemical solutions are disclosed. The blending unit (11) includes a manifold (38) having a plurality of chemical inlet ports (39), a water inlet port (45), and an outlet port (46). A plurality of pumps (43) and valves (41) are associated with the chemical inlet ports (39). The outlet port (46) is connected to dispensing outlets (25, 29) for dispensing the chemical solutions and water into a container 16. The apparatus (10) also includes a quality control systems, including a conductivity cell (50), a weight measurement station (26), and a volume flow measurement device. The apparatus (10) also includes an electronic control unit (70) associated with the pumps (43) and valves (41) to operate them in response to a pre-selected volume, sequential combination and concentration of chemicals.
