The machine in its main parts consists of:
a first block for introducing the piece (see figure A, point a);
a dressing unit (fig. A, b), which applies a solution of water and chemical products to the pile of the fabric;
a polishing and drying unit (fig. A, c);
an accumulator of the treated fabric (fig. A, d);
a rolling unit (fig. A, e) and, optionally, a folding machine (fig. A, f).
The patch passes through:
two tensioners (fig. A, point 1),
the accompanying cylinders of the dressing unit, where the solution of water and chemical products present in the tray (fig. A, 2) is deposited on the pile of the fabric using the cylinders
(fig. A, 3 and 4) and, in particular, when passing over the upper cylinder (fig. A, 4).
The piece comes into contact with the polishing cylinder (fig. A, 5) - made of steel heated by electric resistors and equipped with special combs on the four grooves - which moves at a variable number of revolutions and is connected to an inverter which gives a
alternating motion and carries out the drying, polishing and ironing of the fibres.
A felt sleeve (fig. A, 6), which adheres to the adjustable polishing cylinder, finally allows you to obtain an oriented pile.
A fabric accumulator (fig. A, 7) allows you to change the roll of already treated fabric (fig. A, 8) without stopping the machine.
