摘要

Improvements in the machines for the continuous treatment of grouped filiform materials, by means of pressurized fluids and/or higher than boiling temperatures, comprising a tubular enclosure, of essentially rectangular section, with a perforated area surrounded by a chamber containing steam from pressurized water, an input device for feeding the material into the enclosure in a sealed form, and an endless conveyor element that drags the material along the tubular enclosure, characterized in that the cross section of the tubular enclosure varies progressively, increasing and decreasing , in different areas throughout the enclosure, in order to continuously produce compressions and expansions of the moving matter that give rise respectively to blockages of the material inside the enclosure that ensure the sealing of the same, and to relative spongings of the material that facilitates the passage through it of the treatment fluids I feel (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)
