Singeing machines

In this type of singeing machine the cloth passes over a hollow cylinder which revolves slowly in the opposite direction of the goods. The hollow cast iron or copper cylinder may be fired internally. The cloth is drawn through the machine by a powerful squeezer nip, singed, run through water bath and plaited. 

Old singeing machines are often used which in their time worked acceptably when only pure cotton materials were singed, but which, however are no longer suitable for singeing of newer fibres and their blends. New technologies and techniques have been developed to suit the modem requirements.

The singeing machine is provided with a control over flame height. The flame height may become irregular due to clogging of nozzles. Flame intensity indicates energy, of the singeing flame, which is applied on a unit area of the fabric per unit... 

The singeing machine for circular knit fabric differs from the well-known singeing machine for woven fabrics only in guiding and transport of the fabric. The real problem consists in properly opening out the tubular fabric. The distance between burner and fabric must be exactly the same at every point. The burner must be so designed that there is an uniform flame intensity over the entire tube circumfer-... 

Failure or maintenanee outage of a singe machine failure ean potentially halt an entire assembly line.
