ABSTRACT:
An process is disclosed for finish drying of tubular knitted fabrics from a wet condition to a substantially finished form in a single process. Wet treated and mechanically extracted fabric is significantly overspread laterally as it enters the upstream end of the dryer and, importantly, although already wet, the fabric is steamed. Thereafter, and throughout most of its travel through the dryer system, the fabric is handled with special care to avoid stitch tension to the greatest possible extent while the wet fabric is assuming geometric stability. The discharged fabric is unique in comparison to conventionally dried fabric in that it is virtually finished and ready for the cutting table. The invention also makes possible mechanical roller compacting of fabrics in wet condition, enabling the wet-compacted fabric to be dried to a substantially finished condition without significant loss of its compacting.
