Abstract

An improved apparatus and method for dyeing materials in a wet process dye extractor is shown in which the dyeing material is injected into a vessel containing a rotating perforated basket both through the center shaft of the rotating basket and also at a rear entry port in the vessel. The dual injection of dye material speeds up and improves the process of dyeing and allows dyeing from the "inside-out" as well as the "outside-in".
