Mechanical finishes of fabric have now gained immense importance as they produce various derived finishes viz. Value-addition by way of bulkiness and soft handle, improved appearance and life of fabric. HARISH Continuous Tumbler Dryer Model SOFTI is a machine which comprises of:

ENTRANCE:
This has a number of cylinders made from stainless steel and a centering device controlled by electronics. The special design of this centering system avoids any tension on the fabric.

SELF BEARING STRUCTURES:
These are composed of a structural steel frame coated with epoxy resin paint on which following parts are mounted:

a) Ventilation channel.
b) Filter system.
c) Air suction channel.
d) Heating batteries
    (as per heating system required).

The frame supports the fabric entrance and exit assembly as well as cylinder group for loading and unloading the thermo-chamber. On upper part is situated the ventilation system having adjustable speed suitable for moving the fabric. The frame is completely covered with insulation panels to increase the thermic efficiency considerably.

THERMO-CHAMBERS:
This is made of stainless steel AISI 304 and its shape is like a reversed "U". The fabric entrance and exit is situated below to keep a controlled amount of fabric in circulation. The controlled quantity of fabric is forwarded at high speed through a ventilator with adjustable speed, from one chamber through the U-shape channel into the other chamber. Change of direction of the airjet is done automatically by means of a flap system, thermo-chamber is illuminated inside and can be observed from outside through sight windows.
