ABSTRACT:
This disclosure teaches a method for integrated finishing and compressive preshrinking of a high-shrinkage fabric. The fabric is brought damp from being finished to being compressively preshrunk, rather than according to universally recognized procedure of causing all goods which are to be compressively preshrunk to be in their dry state before the compressive-preshrinking operation. A padder is here employed to impregnate the fabric with finishing liquid, then a series of hot cans reduce the moisture content of the fabric to a range of from 10 to 30%. A moisture content of 15% is preferred. In blended fabrics of cellulosic and man-made fibers, the need for this moisture content is only in the cellulosic component. From the hot cans the fabric is introduced to a compressive-preshrinking unit and the fabric is subsequently dried in a felt-belt dryer.
