The fabric relaxing machine is a valuable device employed to alleviate stress and deformation in fabrics during the manufacturing process, resulting in enhanced quality and visual appeal. This machine finds its application in the processing of various fabric materials like silk, linen, cotton, polyester, and nylon, serving both pre-processing and post-processing purposes. Typically, the fabric is positioned within a spacious frame upon entering the machine. Utilizing diverse transmission mechanisms, the fabric is granted the freedom to relax within the frame, effectively reducing internal stress and deformation. To optimize the processing outcome, the fabric relaxing machine offers the flexibility to adjust relaxation levels and duration based on the specific fabric material and processing requirements. By widely incorporating this technology into the textile and garment manufacturing industries, it significantly elevates the fabric's quality, comfort, while minimizing production losses and waste.
Traditionally, fabric relaxing machines employ diverse technologies that can vary depending on their specific type and manufacturer. The majority of these machines utilize a combination of heat, moisture, and mechanical action to effectively relax the fabric.
Different Types of Fabric Relaxation
One commonly used fabric relaxing machine employs steam to relax the fabric. The fabric passes through a chamber where it encounters steam, inducing relaxation and improved flexibility in the fibers. Subsequently, the fabric is guided through the machine via rollers or other mechanical means, ensuring even distribution of moisture and heat throughout. Adjustable tension settings are often available to achieve the desired level of fabric relaxation.
Another type of fabric relaxing machine harnesses a blend of heat and mechanical action to relax the fabric. In this variation, the fabric is fed through a series of rollers that apply heat and pressure, causing the fibers to relax. Additionally, the machine may incorporate a moisture application system to introduce water or steam to the fabric while it undergoes the rolling process.
Both types of fabric relaxing machines share the common objective of alleviating tension from the fabric, facilitating easier handling and preventing undesirable puckering or distortion during manufacturing. Through the combination of heat, moisture, and mechanical action, fabric relaxing machines consistently deliver reliable results across a wide range of fabric types and applications.
Introducing the Enhanced SUNTECH Roll to Roll Fabric Relaxing Machine
The ST-FRM-VI is a versatile fabric relaxing machine that fulfills several crucial functions to optimize fabric processing. It operates by unwinding fabric from two separate rollers, driven by independent motors and inverters, ensuring tension-free feeding. Subsequently, the fabric passes through a lazy loop controlled by a photocell, which restores it to its original state.
This machine incorporates an air-flotation zone that effectively relaxes the fabric, significantly reducing processing time. The resulting fabric roll is compatible with automatic spreading machines, offering time and space savings. To maintain precise alignment, the Automatic Edge-alignment System ensures errors in edge alignment are limited to a mere 6mm.
Accurate length counting is provided, with counting errors of no more than 0.1m/km, measured in yards or meters. Additionally, the machine offers an optional Automatic Width Measuring Device for online measurements. For precise fabric weight measurement, the Automatic Weight Device can handle weights up to 1000-2000kgs with utmost precision.
SUNTECH Textile Machinery is committed to continuous innovation and enhancement. In addition to its core fabric relaxing functions, the ST-FRM-VI is now equipped with an additional vibrating table. When the fabric reaches the air duct on the conveyor belt, the vibrating table and airflow operate in unison, gently shaking the fabric to release any remaining tension. This ensures that every inch of the fabric is completely free from tension, preventing subsequent shrinkage during processing.
Since its establishment, SUNTECH Textile Machinery has been dedicated to the development, manufacturing, and global distribution of premium textile machinery. Our extensive portfolio includes two primary categories: the STelego and Fabric Make-up Machine series. With years of technological expertise, our products have gained international acclaim for their exceptional reliability and productivity.
