This helps them more effectively provide customer service and influence the use of cotton by those mills. One of the newest pieces of equipment is a high-efficiency Relaxation Dryer.

Mary Ankeny, Director, Dyeing Research says: “Relaxation Dryers allow us to reduce shrinkage in many knit fabrics.”

This type of dryer allows us to process fabric as it lays flat and free of tension on a vented belt while air is pushed through the fabric from above and below. Relaxation drying reduces stress imparted to the fabric from the dyeing operation – which in turn reduces shrinkage.

“This new dryer has more independent controls that allow us to also regulate air flow and create a windows-based program for future fabric processing,” concludes Ankeny.
