  • Method and apparatus for compressive shrinkage of tubular fabric
    Patent number: 4908918
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for smoothing and shrinking tubular fabric material. The method comprises stretching the material along its width and moistening the stretched material. The material then enters a first smoothing and shrinking unit and is turned around a turning roller. The material engages a shrinkage belt which presses one side of the material against a support roller. The material then exits the first smoothing and shrinking unit and enters a second where the other side of the material is treated. The shrinkage of the material is increased since an elastic layer on each shrinkage belt varies the surface tension engaged to each side of the material.
