Steaming and Decatising Equipment
topic
Continuous steaming machines expose fabric to saturated steam at 100 to 105 degrees Celsius while controlling fabric tension and overfeed to allow fibre relaxation and shrinkage under steam conditions that set the fabric structure in a permanently relaxed state, improving dimensional stability, handle, and pilling resistance of wool, viscose, and blended fabrics through the combined effects of moisture, heat, and mechanical relaxation.
Role
Provides dimensional relaxation and handle improvement for wool and regenerated cellulosic fabrics through steam treatment that relaxes residual processing tensions without the chemical effects of wet finishing, improving fabric handle softness and reducing the tendency for further dimensional change during consumer garment care by setting the fabric structure in its most relaxed stable configuration.
