Abstract:
A process for treatment of sheet objects, comprising the steps of:supplying the objects to a container containing a treatment fluid by a conveyor belt;rotating the objects through the fluid by means of at least one disk rotated about a rotational axis with alignment of the objects about the rotational axis, thereby treating the objects;retaining the objects during the treatment in slots of the at least one disk that are radial relative to the rotational axis, by a retaining element adjacent said rotation device and spaced therefrom along said axis of rotation, and further retaining the objects in a receptacle during passage through the fluid by a flexible securing element that is moved synchronously with the rotation device adjacent the rotation device at its periphery, the flexible securing element preventing relative movement of objects retained in the slots and the securing element;moving the treated objects translationally after the treatment; andsupplying the treated objects to at least one washing and/or drying step.
