Compactor Machine
Compactor is a textile finishing machine which is designed specially
for compacting 100% cotton knitted fabric like jersey, pique,
interlock, plush, rib and sinker etc. as well as cotton blended fabric in
rope form, changing the loft and dimensional stability of the fabric
and presenting it to plaited form.
Features of Compactor Machine
1. Compactor Steam box of compactor is made by stainless steel.
2. Belt speeds synchronized by load cell for accurate compaction
3. Automated compaction procedure with best reproducibility.
4. Excellent outstanding shrinkage for textile finishing
5. No increase in outstanding shrinkage
6. Improved Compaction Power for developed multi layer felt belts of text
compactor
Types of Compactor Machine:
Compactor machines are two types. They are-
1. Tubular compactor
2. Open compactor
Tube compactor
Tubular compactor is used after hydro-extractor, de-watering and dryer.
By the compactor machine, compacting is done for control the shrinkage
of the fabric. Here, different types of off line quality of the fabric are
measured.
Function:
1. Dimensional stability of fabric is controlled
2. Fabric width is controlled
3. GSM of the fabric is controlled
4. Make shiny effect on fabric surface.
Main Parts of The Tube Compactor
1. Feed section : tension control & metal detector
2. Shape : set according to the dia of fabric
3. Steam zone
4. Take out & Plaiter zone
