The disclosure is directed to an apparatus for preshrinking fabric which in various forms moves a web of shrinkable material through a nip like configuration and usually by compression reduces the webs potential shrinkage a predetermined amount. More particularly there is shown a system for heating fabric at a controlled temperature by utilizing the normally associated steam heat source of the apparatus which usually functions to dampen the fabric prior to treatment as provided for in the present invention on the one hand along with a heated oil supply which is disposed in a chamber of the shrinking unit to thusly provide an additional heat source for the fabric to facilitate shrinkage or other treatment of the fabric.
