measurement and control system must be developed for the entire process cycle which guarantees reliable process control An additional goal

of this new technology is to humanise the hard work in the water work- sho of the leather industry With

the current processes, employees are ex osed to great be attained by the closed-circuit process Still another goal of this

new technology is to accelerate chrome tanning and recycle the chrome liquors Extensive experiments are required to reach this goal,

because the process parameters must be determined on practice-oriented scale, as the results obtained cannot otherwise be con- sidered reliable If this development is realised, the results could revolutionise the leather production process temperature, resulting in considerable energy savings, which also ultimately contri Ute to dearof stress due to steam, odours and humidity Aconsiderable reduction this stress could ~ ~ 4 2.

Results The results primarily related to the deliming, pickling and tanning processes in the automatic batch processing machine. The use of batch processin machine is known from commercial laundries, .. it has been used successfully in that sector ?or many years. Batch-wise, automatic processing takes place. In this context, the batches to be processed are separated and auto- maticall transported from one processing chamber to the next. It became apparent that this methoiis eminently suitable for processing skins and furs. All processingsteps inthetanneryareusuallycarriedoutoneaftertheotherwithout unloading the skins, but discardin the liquors used each time. With the newly developed principle, it is possible to recirculate # liquors. At the same time, the alternative possibility presented itself of largely automating this p
