This process is carried out either by a sammying machine with two rollers covered with sleeves or by a setting out machine with one roller covered with a sleeve. A blunt spreading helical blade stretches the hide.
Dollfus & Muller provides mixed sleeves, synthetic sleeves and for very sensitive leather, 100% wool sleeves. All the sleeves are perfectly dimensionally stabilized and treated to avoid any risk of fibre loss.
According to the sleeve type they are either with loose or tight fitting.
