Application of gum to upper surface of fabric results in trim waste reduction (yield increases) not possible with conventional under-side designs.
Gum thickness adjustable (via repeatable transfer roll) while machine is running without changing gum composition.
Gum is transferred to tank by a peristaltic pump with level controlled by automatic overflow.
Remote stop / start of gumming from stenter operator platform. On stoppage (line stop or operator selected) a short water flushing cycle prevents hardening of gum.
