Abstract
The use of saturated steam for the steaming of tubular fabric is known. However, this does not produce permanent fixing of the fibers. This only takes place at considerably higher temperatures, where the fibers are damaged, however. If the treatment is carried out rapidly, such as on a rotary screen and using a steam-air mixture, it is possible to carry out advantageous fixing also for elastic fibers at temperatures of e.g. 210° C. without damage. It is advantageous, if the tubular fabric is spread out at ambient temperature and treated in this spread-out state on the rotary screen.
