General
It is a machine used in the final stage of the fabric production process in the textile industry.
By attaching the fabric at the end of the production process to the stenter machine, movement is provided by the walking chains included in the machine. Meanwhile, the size of the fabric can be adjusted and wrinkles can be removed with the stenter machine that sends hot air to the fabric.
Stenter machine working principle
In general, stenter machines are machines used in textile dye factories and used to apply finishing. Hot air flow is provided in the part of the machine called the cabin. When it reaches the cabin with the help of fabric chains attached to the needles and pallets, it dries under the influence of hot air. Cabin temperature varies between 140 degrees and 180 degrees.
Benefits of Using a Stenter Machine
The fact that temperature adjustment can be made for synthetic or other fabrics can actually be considered one of the biggest advantages. It allows drying processes to be carried out after the integration of finishing elements such as fire retardant, wrinkle retardant or water repellency. It carries out the drying process very quickly. It enables heat fixation of dyed or printed fabrics.
