The patch, positioned in the center of the machine entrance, passes:
through a cloth tensioner (see figure A, point 1),
in a tissue centering-expanding unit (fig. A, 2);
through a series of devices (selvage unrollers, feelers and overfeeders).
It is then dragged by two chains (fig. A, 3), equipped with plates with metal tips on them
which the selvages are fixed by the pressure of two brushes.
The first part of the machine is characterized by the presence of articulated movement chains
to pin the patch at the height at which it appears at the beginning of the route. Chains can
be spaced from each other in such a way as to adapt them to the height of the rolling, which takes place
in the second part of the machine.
The piece then passes through a steaming unit, where a steaming tray (fig.
A, 4), placed under the belt, hits the fabric with its steam, helping to make it uniform
and to equalize its height.
The fabric, heated and humidified, "relaxes", allowing ironing in the narrowest areas
to the set height by spacing the chains.
An aspirator (fig. A, 5) eliminates excess steam.
Vaporized and humid, it passes into a drying field (fig. A, 6) made up of radiant batteries,
which make the fabric warm and dry when it comes out.

A cooling unit (fig. A, 7) brings the fabric to its final state, fixing the height
set for the piece.
At the end of the process the piece is rolled into large or small packages or stacked in
based on the needs of the subsequent operations it will have to undergo.
