ABSTRACT:
A fabric detwister comprises a housing with a bi-directional rotating cylinder contained therein. A chain and sprocket or equivalent drive mechanism rotates the cylinder in either direction as needed to remove a twist previously imparted to a continuous, elongated, flaccid fabric. Gutters are positioned on either side of the frame in order to effectively drain fluid squeezed from the fabric by a series of non-powered and powered rollers. Air jets positioned proximate the non-powered rollers inflate the fabric causing it to impinge upon the interior surface of the cylinder to effectuate proper detwisting.
