Levelling, steaming and compacting calander
Suitable for fabrics made of natural and man-made fibers it provides the minimum possible residual shrinkage values in the compacting zones and delicate handling of fabric through the machine.
Santacompact Rd
The SANTACOMPACT RD provides the best dimensional stability for the finishing of high Quality open-width knitted fabrics.
Description
