Abstract One or more liquids may be applied to a running textile web in flat tubular or open width form by three different cooperative and integrated systems. A drying chamber is associated with the apparatus for recovering solvent which may be included in certain liquid chemicals. The chemical applicating apparatus includes spray nozzles spaced transversely adjacent the path of travel of the web for spraying chemicals on the moving web. Guiding means are provided for selectively positioning the web with respect to the nozzles for optimum spraying position. A padding tank is also provided for passing the web directly through a bath of the chemical and a metering system including an applicator roll and an adjustable blade in different configurations is provided for applying precisely controlled amounts of chemicals to the web.
Apparatus for treating a running web, comprising a. a plurality of co-planar nozzles, b. feed means for delivering liquid through said nozzles, c. guide means for guiding said web in flat open width form along a path parallel to the plane of said nozzles and in spaced opposition thereto, d. said guide means and said nozzles being mounted for relative movement to and away from one another for selectively adjusting the spacing therebetween, e. said guide means including at least one web engaging roll, a carriage supporting said roll and carriage moving means engaging said carriage for movement to and away from said nozzles.
