respective tanks 30 and 32 where they are mixed as they pass through the pump 40 valves 42 and 44 and into either conduit 8 or the bottom of containment vessel 4 valves 42 and 46 are closed to isolate the vessel from the pump 40 to allow pressurized air to be circulated through the fabric for the purpose of drying the fabric referring to fig3 the fabric containment basket comprises a bottom plate 50 supported by the liquid distributor plate 52 upon which the fabric scraps are deposited in a flat laminar orientation to form a fabric cake 54 shown in fig2 referring also to fig3 when the complete treatment load is deposited top plate 56 is applied to the top of the fabric to compress it into a compact homogeneous cake plate 56 is applied to a weighed charge of fabric 54 in the fabric containment basket 53 through the use of hydraulic press not shown this creates the necessary fabric density to insure that liquid flow through the fabric cake is uniform and no channels develop which prevents some of the fabric from receiving adequate treatment plate 56 is held in place by a multiplicity of mechanically operated lugs 55 and in this manner the fabric is maintained in a compressed.
