METHOD AND PLANT FOR THE PROCESSING OF FIBER MATERIALS BY MEANS OF LIQUIDS
A textile material (4) is dyed regularly and rapidly after introduction of the dye and the material in a processing container (1) which is heated up to boiling temperature. The inner pressure in the container and the supply of heat to the liquid are controlled by control means (46, 48, 51) so that the dye slowly and gradually evaporates in order for the vapor bubbles to stirr the dye and the material without the use of a calendar or similar means. The dying operation may be aided by a pulsating motion of the dying liquid. If necessary, all the energy required for the process maybe used in the form of water vapor.
