Process for the shrinking and structure developments of textile webs and the like

摘要

A process for the shrinking and structure development of textile webs, particularly knitted goods or webs of textured synthetic yarns and the like, comprises the steps of subjecting the web under tension-free conditions to a first combined washing or cleaning and wet- shrinking and structure development treatment, then to a combined steam- and drying- shrinking and structure development treatment, and finally subjecting the web in flat-spread or spread-controlled condition to a drying- thermofixing or shrinking- and structure development and stabilizing treatment. Apparatus for performing said process includes means for wet treatment of the web, for treatment with steam, and drying means with tension-free guidance means, and a final stabilization and fixation chamber.
