<p>A machine for and method of producing, treating or finishing a fabric. The machine comprises heated and unheated treatment rollers. The rollers are placed adjacent each other to define nips therebetween. Guide rollers define two endless paths with the treatment rollers around which paths two polytetrafluoroethylene coated endless belts run. These paths have a common section running through the nips of the treatment rollers. Fabric fed through the common section is held between the belts in a controlled manner whilst being successively heated and cooled. This successive heating and cooling of the fabric when it is sandwiched between the endless belts avoids distortion and marking of the fabric during subsequent processing.</p> |
