An arrangement for applying liquid such as dye liquor to a moving web of textile material is provided. The arrangement includes a supply reservoir for the dye liquor, a small volume receiving vessel to which the liquor from the supply reservoir is metered, a pump for passing the liquor from the receiving vessel to a distributing element dispopsed above a reversing roll for the material web. The distributing element being adapted to pass the liquor at a liquor to material weight ratio of from about 1.2 to 1.5 into a wedge-like gap formed between the material web running up on the reversing roll and the reversing roll.
A device for continuously treating a textile fabric web comprises at least one application devices for applying one or more treatment liquors to the fabric web. After applying the liquors, the fabric web exhibits a total moisture content in the range of 100 to 220% of the weight of the dry fabric. The fabric web with the moisture is fed into a tower-like heating zone of an ager, in which the fabric web is guided over a path consisting of a plurality of horizontal loops.
