Apparatus for the continuous wet treatment of a textile web is disclosed, wherein the web is guided along a zig-zag path through a bath which is formed by treatment liquid flowing in counter current to the direction of movement of the textile web. The bath is contained in a channel shaped vessel, and a plurality of perforated deflecting rollers are positioned within the vessel and form between them a zig-zag-like path for guiding the textile web through the vessel and thus through the bath in meander-like manner. Nozzles are located within the vessel adjacent one of said rollers, the nozzles having a slot-like discharge opening which, when a textile web moves through the vessel, extends above the web and over substantially the entire width of the web. The discharge opening of the nozzle discharges treatment liquid in the form of a jet-like stream which impinges against the web in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the web and to the axis of the roller beneath the web, while forming an acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the channel shaped vessel with the open side of the acute angle pointing in the direction in which the web is withdrawn from the vessel.
