<p>In tunnel finishers (10), damp or dampened garments (13) are dried while suspended from conveyor hangers (16), thus smoothing out wrinkles. This process is called finishing. In the past, drying was done with air, in particular hot air. According to the present invention, the garments (13) are dried using infrared rays. It has been found that said manner of drying is particularly effective and gentle. In order to improve the effectiveness of the drying, it is further provided that the degree of dryness of the garments (13) is continuously detected. Preferably, this is done using infrared cameras. In said manner, influence on the control of the tunnel finisher (10) can be exerted, and thus, an optimal drying result can be achieved. It is additionally possible, subsequently to the drying process, to activate finishing agents, which, for example, add stain-resistant properties to the finished garment (13), using plasma radiation. This can be accomplished with minimal additional expenditure by means of plasma radiation after the garments (13) have been dried.</p> |
