Abstract
An apparatus for the continuous wet treatment of an endless material, such as a textile web, having a certain width and made of textured polyester fabric or knit, includes a vessel or container having a treatment liquor at a liquid level therein, an endless conveying means for transporting the endless material within the container in the form of suspended loops from an inlet to an outlet of the container, a partition vertically arranged within said container for defining a treatment chamber and a liquor recycling chamber separated from each other, said chambers being in communication with one another above as well as below the partition, means for producing liquid circulation from the treatment chamber to the liquor recycling chamber, the liquor being directed from the top portion of the treatment chamber to the bottom portion and then into the liquor recycling chamber, and take-off means arranged at the outlet of the container and being positioned at the liquid level whereby the endless material is transported through said container in a substantially tension-free manner to provide optimum shrinkage of the material therein.
