The piece, folded or rolled, passes in succession through:
a tensioner (see figure B, 1);
a brush (fig. B, 2) for the elimination of any fluff deposited on the fabric;
a fabric centering device (fig. B, 3);
a debonding scarf (fig. B, 4) and a weft straightener (fig. B, 5), which guarantee the
regular presentation of the fabric for drying.
Expanding cylinders (fig. B, 8) placed along the path make it continue smoothly
above the feed cylinder (fig. B, 9)
through the selvedge unrolls (fig. B, 10) and a fabric feeler (fig. B, 11)
above the boost wheels (fig. B, 12).
Then the piece is stitched onto the chain
passes through the steamer (fig. B, 14), made up of a carpet (fig. B, 15) and an electrical panel
(fig. B, 13) and then,
an enlarging / tightening screw (fig. B, 16) adjusts the height, before
drying sections, the number of which may vary according to processing and production needs,
which include:
two fans (fig. B, 18) one on the right and one on the left of the section,
two exhaust ducts (fig. B, 17) placed above the section,
two series of blowers (fig. B, 19),
a chain guide (fig. B, 20) to adjust the height of the piece,
a fume exhaust (fig. B, 21), in the last section of the branch, is used for the whole machine.
After drying, the piece passes into a cooling area (fig. B, 22), where a cylinder
dancer (fig. B, 24) holds it in the right tension to pack it into a large roll (fig. B,
23) or to deposit it in layers (fig. B, 25) on the appropriate pallet.
