Plate singeing machine:
In this
type of singeing machine, the cloth passes over and in contact with one or two
heated curved copper plates. The thickness of the plates ranges from 1 to 2
inches. The heating of the plates is done by a suitable burning arrangement of
gas mixed with air. The plates are heated to bright redness and the cloth passes
over and in contact with these plates at a speed ranging from 150 to 250 yards
per minute.the protruding fiber are burnt during the passage. The fiber end
present in the interstices of warp and weft are not singed, since they are not made
accessible as the is actual contact between the cloth and a hard and hot
surface of metal a certain amount of luster in the cloth is produced.
Disadvantage: It may be not possible to
maintain the plates at uniform temperature and this cause uneven singeing.
