摘要

A continuous dyeing plant for a warp thread including a plurality of dyeing/squeezing groups arranged in line, each of which is provided with a respective impregnation or dyeing tank in which the warp thread is immersed, and an oxidation apparatus that has a plurality of upper and lower return rollers, configured to arrange the warp thread on a plurality of vertical planes parallel to each other, and a support frame having at least one upper strut and at least one lower strut, where a plurality of upper return rollers are mounted on the upper struts, such that at least one part of the lower return rollers is rotatably mounted on at least one respective support device that is movable in the vertical direction between a first operating position, in which the movable support device is placed close to the lower struts to keep the lower return rollers at a maximum predefined distance from the corresponding upper return rollers, and a second operating position, in which the movable support device is placed close to the upper struts to keep the lower return rollers at a minimum predefined distance from the corresponding upper return rollers.
