FIELD: knitted product manufacture equipment. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has cylindrical processing chamber with inlet and outlet slide valves. Chamber is connected at its one side with circular stocking machine through pipeline and at its other side with suction pipeline for conveying stocking delivered by circular stocking machine. Chamber has air inlet gate for supplying air during ejection of processed stockings, bypass pipeline connected with its one end to processing chamber and with its opposite end to suction pipeline. Stocking detector positioned upstream of processing chamber is adapted to activate valves by means of working cylinders. Apparatus has processing air heater with isolated chamber serving as heat-exchanger. Isolated chamber is communicated with processing chamber through openings in processing chamber wall. Compressed air is introduced into heat-exchanger through nozzle for supplying processing air. EFFECT: increased efficiency, simplified construction and improved quality of product. 8 cl, 4 dwg
