Working principle of silk fabric setting machine

Oct 15, 2023

A silk fabric setting machine is a device used to add shape and texture to silk fabrics. Its working principle is based on thermodynamic and mechanical principles.

First, the silk fabric is placed on the table of the setting machine. Then, by applying heat or pressure, the sizing machine changes the molecular structure and shape of the silk fabric so that it maintains the desired shape.

In a heat-setting machine, the silk fabric usually passes through a heating chamber where the temperature is controlled within a certain range. The hot air or hot surface in the heating chamber will cause the fiber molecules in the silk fabric to rearrange and maintain their new shape. The silk fabric then passes through cooling chambers or chill rolls to ensure it retains its post-set shape.

In a pressure setting machine, the silk fabric is usually placed between two heated plates and its shape is changed by applying pressure. The temperature on the heating plate softens the fibers in the silk fabric, allowing it to hold its desired shape under pressure. The silk fabric is then cooled to fix its new shape.

The working principle of silk fabric setting machine can be different according to the specific equipment and technology, but in general they all change the shape and texture of silk fabric by heating or applying pressure. These machines are widely used in the textile and apparel industry to manufacture a wide variety of textiles such as clothes, curtains, and bedding, among others.
