Kier

In Fig. 5 is shown Mather & Platt's yarn-bleaching kier, which is designed to bleach cotton yarn, either in hanks or in the warp forms, without removing it from the vessel into which it is first placed. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

Raw echinus (“kier-bang”), saline and tonic, would clear the palate for succeeding delicacies. ❋ Unknown (2003)

One method is to lime by steeping for an hour in a weak lime liquor, using about 2 lb. of lime to 100 lb. of goods; they are then boiled in the kier for eight hours, after which they are washed. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

Boil the cotton for six to eight hours with a carbonate of soda lye at 1° Tw. in a kier at ordinary pressure, then wash well, wring, or, better, hydro-extract. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

After this washing they are boiled again in the kier with soda ash, using about 8 lb. ash for 100 lb. goods and giving seven hours 'boil, which, after washing, is followed by a second boil with 5 lb. ash and 4 lb. soft soap for each 100 lb. of goods, giving eight hours' boil. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

In bleaching processes there has been no radical change of system on the large scale since the introduction of the 'Mather' kier in 1885, and the associated change from lime and ash boiling to the caustic soda circulating boil with reduced volume of lye, which this mechanical device rendered practicable. ❋ C.

Many forms of kiers have been devised, but the one in most general use is that known as the "injector kier," of which a drawing is given in Fig. 4, of the form made by Messrs. Mather & Platt of Salford. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

The liquor ultimately finds its way to the bottom of the kier ready to be blown up again. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

Soda or potash is not nearly so good for this first boiling as lime -- for what reason is somewhat uncertain, but probably because they form with the grease in the cloths soluble soaps, which might float about the kier and accumulate in places where they are not required and thus lead to stains, whereas the insoluble lime soap remains where it was formed. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

Then again care should be taken, especially when using low-pressure kiers, to see that the supply of liquor does not get too low, in which case the goods in the upper part of the kier are liable to get dry and are tendered thereby. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

The inside of the kiers should be kept well limed, so that the goods shall not come in contact with the bare iron or metal of which the kier is constructed, as this would be very likely to lead to stains being produced which are by no means easy to remove. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

The length of boil is usually about twelve hours in a low-pressure kier; in a high-pressure kier about seven hours is sufficient. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

A jet of steam is sent in at the bottom of this pipe, and by its force any liquor at the bottom of the kier is forced up the puffer pipe and distributed in a spray over any goods which may be in the kier. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

After leaving the loom each piece is laid separately in the bleaching kier. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

The length of the boil depends upon the kiers; with the open kier about ten hours are usually given, with the Barlow and injector kiers, working at a pressure of 40 lb. to 50 lb., six to seven hours are given. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

It is usual, and it is a good plan with almost all kinds of kiers, except the Mather and Edmeston kiers, to put a number of large pebbles or small stones at the bottom of the kier, which serves to make a false bottom on which the goods rest and through which the liquor penetrates and flows away. ❋ Franklin Beech (N/A)

And in his book, "De binnenkant op een kier: avonden zonder politiek" (A glimpse into the inside: evenings without politics, 2000), Von Rompuy mused: his words make me feel all warm and fuzzy, like a wet concrete blanket. and yet he now speaks on behalf of ALL Europe?! ❋ Unknown (2009)
