Abstract: A singeing device (V) for the gassing of circular goods (1), for instance circular knitted textile goods, having a singe burner (3) and a cloth guide (W) in order to obtain uniform gassing. The guidance of the goods (W) is developed so as to result in flat sides (a) of the circular goods (1) which extend substantially parallel to each other and rounded transition sides (b), and the singe burner (3) gasses the circular goods (1) both on the flat sides (a) and on the transition sides (b).
