The boarding machine boards (steam set and dry on a leg form) applies a wax transfer label, slits the stockings (Thigh Length only to create the space to insert a welt), and then doff individual stockings onto a carousel.Each stocking is loaded by an operator on a board form.
Each individual boarding form with a stocking will move automatically from the load station to the steam chamber to the drying chamber to the printing station to the slitting station, and to the doff points on a carousel.
