Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the continuous dyeing of cellulose fiber yarns with reactive dyes and to an apparatus for carrying out this process. The process essentially comprises steps of impregnating yarn which has been continuously unwound at high speed from one or several supports (1) and rewound onto one or several supports (3) with at least one fiber-reactive dye in aqueous solution and at least one alkaline reagent in aqueous solution, and fixing the dye. The invention can be applied especially in the technical field of dyeing cellulose fibers.
