These devices typically comprise a series of rollers, a continuously moving conveyor belt, a series of large drums, and fans blowing hot air. The characterizing feature of these devices is the fact that it carries fabric materials vertically, not horizonally, through the rollers. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
