A machine for treating fabrics, comprising: at least one rigid vibrating platform (18, 19; 18,19,20) capable of inducing substantially vertical vibrations in a quantity of fabric supported by the platform, and means for drying the fabric, characterized in that the drying means comprises a drying tunnel associated with the vibrating platform, in that the machine includes: - two or more of said rigid vibrating platforms (18, 19; 18, 19, 20) operatively associated with, and positioned relative to, one or more drying tunnels such as to allow the fabric to be treated to pass from one platform, through the tunnel to another platform, and - rollers configured for: - continuously feeding the fabric onto a first of said vibrating platforms; - transferring the fabric from the first of said vibrating platforms, through a tunnel to a second of said vibrating platforms; - continuously feeding out of the machine the fabric coming from the second vibrating platform, and in that the machine is configured to apply to the fabric between the first and second platforms (18 and 19) an alternating movement at speeds higher than the speeds at which the fabric is fed into and out of the machine. at least one rigid vibrating platform (18, 19; 18,19,20) capable of inducing substantially vertical vibrations in a quantity of fabric supported by the platform, and means for drying the fabric, characterized in that the drying means comprises a drying tunnel associated with the vibrating platform, in that the machine includes: - two or more of said rigid vibrating platforms (18, 19; 18, 19, 20) operatively associated with, and positioned relative to, one or more drying tunnels such as to allow the fabric to be treated to pass from one platform, through the tunnel to another platform, and - rollers configured for: - continuously feeding the fabric onto a first of said vibrating platforms; - transferring the fabric from the first of said vibrating platforms, through a tunnel to a second of said vibrating platforms; - continuously feeding out of the machine the fabric coming from the second vibrating platform, - two or more of said rigid vibrating platforms (18, 19; 18, 19, 20) operatively associated with, and positioned relative to, one or more drying tunnels such as to allow the fabric to be treated to pass from one platform, through the tunnel to another platform, and - rollers configured for: - continuously feeding the fabric onto a first of said vibrating platforms; - transferring the fabric from the first of said vibrating platforms, through a tunnel to a second of said vibrating platforms; - continuously feeding out of the machine the fabric coming from the second vibrating platform, - continuously feeding the fabric onto a first of said vibrating platforms; - transferring the fabric from the first of said vibrating platforms, through a tunnel to a second of said vibrating platforms; - continuously feeding out of the machine the fabric coming from the second vibrating platform, and in that the machine is configured to apply to the fabric between the first and second platforms (18 and 19) an alternating movement at speeds higher than the speeds at which the fabric is fed into and out of the machine.
