Softening and swelling machine for woven and knitted fabrics

Abstract

This invention relates to a softening and swelling machine for woven and knitted fabrics. The mechanical softening and swelling machine is used in the processes of eliminating the tension formed during the production of woven and knitted fabrics, softening, giving volume by swelling, and adjusting the size from width/length and weight in grams.

1 . A softening and swelling machine for woven and knitted fabrics characterized in that one side or both sides of the fabric being processed are softened and swollen; the desired air characteristics are adjusted by air conditioning unit; the width and rolls at edges are expanded through mechanical beating and softening cabin, wherein elliptical beating-expander drums at desired number are located; unwanted particles on the fabric, such as clips and dusts, are absorbed by a deducting unit, and that it is cooled through natural cooling unit by being contacted ambient air. 
     
     
         2 . The softening and swelling machine for woven and knitted fabrics of  claim 1 , characterized in that it includes an inlet expander cylinder suitable for expanding the width and edges of the fabric being processed, for which the humidity value is adjusted and which is pulled by an inlet pull cylinder. 
     
     
         3 . The softening and swelling machine for woven and knitted fabrics of  claim 1 , characterized in that it includes elliptical beating-expander drums, which can be at desired number and for which the rotation speeds and directions can be adjusted according to the type of the fabric being processed and the characteristics desired to be given, and which beats and expands both sides or one desired side of the fabric being processed inside an inlet j-box of cabin, while pulling it by a speed adjustable 1st pull cylinder of cabin. 
     
     
         4 . The softening and swelling machine for woven and knitted fabrics of  claim 1 , is characterized in that it includes an expander cylinder of dedusting system expanding the width and rolls at edges, while the fabric being processed is pulled by a pull cylinder of dedusting system to be passed through dedusting unit. 
     
     
         5 . The softening and swelling machine for woven and knitted fabrics of  claim 1 , characterized in that it includes dedusting channels suitable for absorbing unwanted particles on the fabric being processed, such as clips and dusts, passing through the dedusting unit. 
     
     
         6 . The softening and swelling machine for woven and knitted fabrics of  claim 1 , characterized in that it includes a pull cylinder of natural cooling unit allowing the fabric being processed, which is released from said dedusting unit and collected for some amount in j-box of natural cooling unit located inside natural cooling unit, to cool by contacting ambient air while it is pulled.
