Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2535451A1] Machine and method for softening and shrinking a fabric (T), preferably a knitted fabric, the method provides for pulling or pushing the fabric (T) in a pneumatic transport tunnel (15), through air flows below and/or above the fabric, alternatively towards opposite impact structures (16, 17), against which the fabric impacts; the directions of these air flows are inclined relative to the horizontal, so as to create a resulting horizontal component of the air push or pull on the fabric (T) allowing to move it. The method characteristically provides for a step wherein the resulting horizontal component of the air push or pull on the fabric (T) is null, i.e. wherein the air invests the fabric without moving it towards a respective impact structure.
