Abstract
A system and method for washing flexible strip material using low amounts of fresh rinse water. The system comprises a wash tank having cascaded compartments and means for passing strip material into the tank and in serpentine fashion through the compartments. In the method the strip material in passing from one compartment to the next is raised above the wash liquid permitting wash liquid to drain back into the wash compartment from which it emerged.
