Stenter
Regardless of whether you are manufacturing heavyweight furnishing fabrics or lightweight dress materials, how your fabric looks aesthetically can make all the difference to your customers or buyers, so having the right fabric drying and finishing machine is imperative.
Our stenter – a fabric drying and finishing machine used after the wet-processing of a fabric – helps achieve the perfect finish, thanks to stretching or stentering the fabric to just the right dimension, in terms of its width in particular.
It also ensures that the application of finished chemicals is achieved with a precise shade variation adjustment, enabling you to exit the processing with the exact colour profile you required.
The stenter machine is composed of two endless and self-lubricated drive chains, in various lengths, which carry pins or clips that hold the fabric edges securely, as the fabric passes through a number of hot-air chambers. Within these, the hot air is directed onto the fabric from both above and below, in equal measure, to optimise the process.
