Method for setting and pretreating a cloth

摘要

A method for setting and pretreating a cloth by a continuous process which comprises supplying a long cloth soaked with a treating solution continuously into a steamer body by piling up several sheets one on top of the other, separating these sheets, and then steaming each cloth while applying a high temperature treating solution thereto and widening the sheets for setting the cloth. Then the cloth is steamed by piling up the sheets once again during application of the high temperature treating solution still further thereto for pretreatment of the cloth. Then with the use of washing water, the cloth is washed and then finally taken out of the steamer body. A long cloth can effectively and economically be set and pretreated while sparing heat energy and water resource.
