Abstract

A teaseling and/or fluffing machine for fabric and knitwork, with tension control, including a load-bearing structure with two sidepieces supporting at least one drum which rotates about a central shaft and supports on its two lateral endpieces two series of teaseling and/or fluffing rollers, of with-pile type and against-pile-type. These rollers are arranged along generatrices of the drum with those of one series rotating relative to those of the other under independent drive. A fabric to be treated passes about the teaseling and/or fluffing rollers and is fed to the machine by a driven feed roller and extracted therefrom by a driven exit roller. Brushes are provided which interact alternately with the teaseling and/or fluffing rollers. Between the feed roller and the drum and, respectively, between the exit roller and the drum, there are interposed two further rollers, the shafts of which are rotatably supported on automatic tension control devices fixed to the load-bearing structure and controlling respective motors of the feed roller and exit roller, in order to automatically control and regulate the fabric tension, both at its entry and at its exit.
