What is the purpose of a shrink machine?

Shrink machine Equipped with full functionality including steam preheating, wet cloth application, hot-air drying, and cooling setting, this machine is ideally suited for pre-shrinking and shaping fabric designs. It features a built-in electronic speed regulator, allowing for adjustable operation. The shrinkage steamer is crafted from stainless steel to prevent rusting. Heating is achieved via moist steam, which delivers concentrated heat while minimizing steam consumption and conserving energy. Additionally, the shrinking machine is fitted with an instrument that records the fabric batch number. Designed for user-friendly operation tailored to specific needs, it boasts a rationalized structure that enables one-step processing with a compact footprint.

How a shrink machine works:

1. This fabric shrink machine features a design that includes steam preheating, pre-shrinking, and drying processes, resulting in fabrics that emerge smoother and more even. During sewing, this eliminates issues like pinholes and fuzzing, while also ensuring that longitudinally tailored banners maintain their shape without distortion. Compared to similar products, this shrink machine is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

2. The shrink machine is easy to operate, features strong suction power, and allows adjustable steam flow and temperature tailored to different fabric types. Moreover, the use of a steam circulation system not only minimizes emissions of waste gases and water but also enhances the pre-shrinking effect on fabrics, leading to reduced steam and energy consumption—up by 40% compared to similar new products.

3. The steam chamber is made of stainless steel, ensuring more even temperature distribution and improved performance.

4. Features automatic adjustment and an electronic eye function.

The shrink machine uses steam drying, saving 6 kilowatt-hours per hour. After the fabric undergoes high-temperature pre-shrinking, it’s further pre-shrunk in the fabric shrink machine, making it less prone to shrinking or deformation. Of course, after shrinking, different materials must be carefully combined and pressed together according to the fabric’s specific characteristics—only then can the desired fit and appearance be achieved.

Shrinking machines are primarily used to pre-shrink fabrics made from cellulosic fibers such as cotton, linen, silk, and viscose. These fabrics are highly absorbent, causing the fibers to swell and shrink in length—directly compromising the dimensional stability of both the original fabrics and their blended textiles.
