Orthofact RMB-15 - Podnapis 9
Removing irregular distortions
Asymmetrical distortions (wavy, S-shaped, etc.) in textiles have always represented a huge challenge in the textile industry. A special straightening approach is needed particularly when the straightening process does not take place in combination with a stenter (e.g. before decatizers, digital printing systems, etc.).
To restore the warp and weft threads to their original state, the Orthofact RMB generates a defined lateral tension using freewheeling, inclined pin wheels. This cross-tension stretches the warp threads. The resultant force controls the freewheeling pin wheels, since the weft threads will always seek out the shortest path from selvedge to selvedge.
Distortion, no matter whether wavy or S-shaped, will be corrected.
