Cloth woven mercerizing machines

A typical clip chain mercerizing machine for woven cloth is shown in Fig. 9-6. In this type of mercerizing machine shrinkage is allowed in the primary stage of the 

normal warp density 2. reduced density 3. normal density  

difference in warp density 5. in front of chain expanding unit  

in the chain expanding unit 7. after the chain expanding unit. 

The line diagram of a Benninger chainless mercerizing machine is shown in Fig. 9-8. Fig. 9-9 shows a traditional chainless mercerizing machine with the roller
