Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the compressive shrinking of textile fabrics, preferably knitted fabrics, in either tubular or open-width form. In the order as seen in the direction of conveyance of the fabric through the apparatus, the apparatus comprises a fabric steaming and moisturising unit (B) and at least one first compressive shrinking module (C1) with substantially identical first (c1) and second (c2) compressive shrinking sections arranged in series to compressively shrink a respective side of the fabric (24, 24'), each compressive shrinking section (c1;c2) having a fabric support belt (7;13) guided between a fabric support belt deflection roller (9;15) and a heatable fabric belt support roller (10;16). To increase productivity while maintaining the same level of quality, the ratio between the diameter of the fabric support belt deflection roller and the thickness of the fabric support belt of each compressive shrinking section ranges between substantially 6:1 and 4:1, and the ratio between the diameter of the fabric belt support roller and the thickness of the fabric support belt of each compressive shrinking section ranges between substantially 15:1 and 6.5:1. <IMAGE>
