Anotations

Scope note:

Mechanized devices designed to remove superfluous moisture from fabrics by passing fabric materials through the device's rollers in vertical loops without tension, and exposing the materials to hot air. 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.
