A machine for fulling and/or washing fabrics in rope-form is provided with means 6, 7 for moving the looped fabric 2 within the tank housing 1 of the machine and which directs the fabric against a rotating vane member 70 impinging on the fabric to cause it to move downwardly of the housing. The means for moving the fabric comprise cylinders, belt or cylinder conveyors. Pressing cylinders (80), Fig. 3 (n.s.) or (104), (111), Fig. 4 (n.s.), and/or an inflatable bladder 9 with a polytetrafluoroethylene cover sheet 11, Fig. 1, co-operate with the fabric moving means. <IMAGE> |
