Steam calendering machine - having a defined fabric path to give steaming , calendering, cooling and stacking with minimum deflection

摘要

The steam calendering machine, partic. for tubular fabrics, has a guide roller to deflect the fabric at the hip level of the operative. The fabric then follows an upward and angled path to the rear of the unit through a narrow guide slit to pass between two encircling steam chambers. The steam chambers are only open to the guide slits through narrow lateral jet slits. The steam calendering machine simplifies the fabric feed, partic. from the spreader, without increasing the space needed. The steaming action is intensified and the extraction of the material is such that it can be cooled and stacked without deflecting its path.
