CONTINUOUS PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR TREATMENT OF KNIT FABRIC MATERIAL

摘要

A continuous processing apparatus for treating a tubular knit fabric material through a high pressure steamer drum body. The steamer drum body contains a driving drum rotatably arranged in the middle part thereof; many fabric material receiving rolls arranged to guide the fabric material in a spiral manner within the steamer drum body; and a pot eye arranged close to a fabric material inlet of the steamer drum body to wring the fabric material into a rope-like shape. In the vicinity of a fabric material outlet of the steamer drum body, there are provided an air supply pipe which supplies air into the rope-like shape of the fabric material to swell it into a tubular shape; and a flattening device which is arranged to flatten and spread out the tubular fabric material in the direction of breadth thereof immediately before the material is guided to the outside of the apparatus.
