The piece, stacked or rolled, passes in succession through:
a tensioner (see figure B, 1);
a brush (fig. B, 2) for eliminating any fluff deposited on the fabric;
a tissue centering device (fig. B, 3);
a wetting pad (fig. B,4) and a weft straightening device (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 in a regular manner
above the feed cylinder (fig. B, 9)
through the selvedge unrollers (fig. B, 10) and a fabric feeler (fig. B, 11)
above the boost wheels (fig. B, 12).
Then the patch is stitched onto the chain
passes through the vaporizer (fig. B, 14), composed of a carpet (fig. B, 15) and an electrical panel
(fig. B, 13) and then,
a widen/tighten screw (fig. B, 16) adjusts the height, before
drying sections, the number of which may vary based on processing and production needs,
which provide:
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 sets of blowers (fig. B, 19),
a chain guide (fig. B, 20) to adjust the height of the patch,
a fume exhaustor (fig. B, 21), in the last section of the stenter, serves for the entire 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 package it into a large roll (fig. B,
23) or to deposit it in layers (fig. B, 25) on the appropriate pallet.
