ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the steam conditioning of lengths of textile fabrics includes a frame carrying a fabric spreader for spreading of the fabric in a spreading zone, steam boxes for application of steam to the spread fabric within a steam zone, a cooling zone, and fabric advancing mechanism for advancing the fabric through the steam and cooling zones. A duct system encloses the steam boxes and, in conjunction with one or more blowers, evacuates steam upwardly and downwardly from a region adjacent the steam boxes thereby confining the steam zone to the region between the discharge sections of the steam boxes and preventing the migration of steam to areas upstream and downstream of such steam zone.
