Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020178670A1] A shrinking machine comprising: an elastically flexible and extensible conveyor belt (2) for supporting and transporting a textile item (T) and arranged in a closed loop around a plurality of rollers (3); a stretching roller (5) which identifies with the conveyor belt (2) a stretching channel (8) for the textile item (T); an inlet roller (4) arranged alongside the stretching roller (5) and having a circular crown (13) made of a compressible material; a tensioning roller (14) operatively upstream of the inlet roller (4) and rotating with a rotation speed of the surface lower than the rotation speed of the surface of the inlet roller (4) so as to induce elongation in the conveyor belt (2). The stretching roller (5) is arranged, during operation, against the inlet roller (4), partially compressing the circular crown (13) so as to deform the stretching channel (8) and move the inlet (9) operatively upstream.
