Abstract (en)

Rotating-drum dyeing machine (1) for treating textile articles (M), provided with a support frame (2) which supports a tank (3) and with a rotating drum (6) for receiving textile articles (M) to be treated, which is contained inside the tank (3) and is provided with a plurality of through-holes (11) formed on the side wall (7) for allowing the passage of a treatment fluid. Treatment means (50) for acting on the articles (M) with the treatment fluid are envisaged, said means (50) comprising one or more nozzles (51) which are operationally provided on the rear wall (9) and/or front wall (8) of the drum (6) and are able to produce a jet of fluid (60) extending along the longitudinal length of the drum (6) so as to reach the garments (M) distributed along the side wall (7). A source (80) of pressurised gaseous fluid is also provided, said source (80) being connected to the nozzle (51) in order to introduce a jet (60) composed of a treatment fluid in the liquid state and a fluid in the gaseous state. The nozzle (51) is supplied by means of a circulating system (14) connected to the tank (3) via a storage bath (12) arranged in a position remote from the rotating drum (6). In this way the storage bath (12) is not affected by the turbulence resulting from rotation of the drum (6) and is able to supply the nozzle (51) with a suitable flow. The bath ratio of the machine (1) is thus very low.
