- Tunnel finisher
A tunnel finisher is a
machine to removewrinkles fromgarments . Most garments are shipped by sea freight from thecountry of production. They get very wrinkled because of thebox packing being used. In the receiving country they are unpacked and put on aclothes hanger . Those hangers are sent via automated transport through the tunnel with a speed up to 3000 garments per hour. It is also being used in laundries anddry cleaner s to remove wrinkles from garments after washing ordry cleaning .The machine processes each garment through several stages. First the garment passes through a steam chamber to make the
fabric moldable. Then wrinkles are removed by a strong hot air flow alongside the garments. Finally the garment is dried by cooler air before it leaves the tunnel finisher.ources
