Plant for steaming and fixing dyes at high or low temperature on printed or dyed fabrics

摘要

Plant for steaming and fixing dyes on printed or dyed fabrics, at variable temperatures, comprising a storage chamber wherein the steaming occurs. Within the storage chamber these are provided rod-like means which dispose the fabric in the form of suspended folds and ensure the forward moving of the folds, from inlet towards outlet of the storage chamber. Guide means, defining a closed loop path, allow the rod-like means to take-up the fabric at the inlet and to discharge it at the outlet of the storage chamber, with the axis of the rod-like means remaining horizontal and orthogonal to the direction of movement of the fabric. Before the storage chamber there is provided a preheating chamber for preheating and humidifying the fabric. Heating elements and water atomising nozzles are located within the storage chamber for maintaining its atmosphere at controlled humidity and temperature conditions.
