Plant and relative method for the treatment of items of clothing, in particular jeans

Abstract

A plant for the treatment of items of clothing. The plant comprises: a first feeding line for feeding the items of clothing; and a second treatment line for the treatment of items of clothing themselves. The second treatment line comprises at least a treatment booth provided with at least one nozzle which is suited to send a high-pressure abradant fluid onto at least one item of clothing available in the treatment booth itself.

1 . A plant for the treatment of items of clothing, said plant comprising:
 a first feeding line for feeding the items of clothing; and   a second treatment line for treating the items of clothing;   
       wherein said second treatment line comprises at least one treatment booth, which is provided with at least one nozzle, which is suited to send a high-pressure abradant fluid onto at least one item of clothing available in said treatment booth itself. 
     
     
         2 . The plant, according to  claim 1 , wherein said high-pressure abradant fluid is a substantially water-based liquid. 
     
     
         3 . The plant, according to  claim 2 , wherein said nozzle is suited to spray said substantially water-based liquid at an average output pressure ranging from 100 bar to 300 bar with a flow rate ranging from 10 l/min to 20 l/min. 
     
     
         4 . The plant, according to  claim 1 , wherein the plant comprises a spinning station for spinning the items of clothing and a drying device for drying the items of clothing themselves. 
     
     
         5 . The plant, according to  claim 1 , wherein the nozzle presents at least one opening, which is shaped as one of a simple circular hole, a slit, a wave, or a curve portion. 
     
     
         6 . The plant, according to  claim 1 , wherein the nozzle can be moved with respect to said items of clothing. 
     
     
         7 . The plant, according to  claim 6 , wherein special scouring effects can be obtained by combining the movements of said nozzles with the roto-translational movements performed by the items of clothing. 
     
     
         8 . A method, for the treatment of items of clothing comprising a step of sending a high-pressure abradant fluid onto items of clothing. 
     
     
         9 . A method, according to  claim 8 , wherein said fluid is a substantially water-based liquid having an average output pressure ranging from 100 bar to 300 bar, and, preferably, a flow rate ranging from 10 l/min to 20 l/min. 
     
     
         10 . The method, according to  claim 8 , further comprising a spinning step, during which the items of clothing are subject to spinning, followed by a further drying step, during which the items of clothing themselves are dried. 
     
     
         11 . The plant according to  claim 2 , wherein the substantially water-based liquid is a hot liquid.
