General
Stenter, or simply stenter machine, is a special oven used in fabric processing for drying and heat treatment or finishing of the fabric after wet processing. It consists of heated chambers (cabinet) that can be adjusted according to the width of the fabric being treated. It is a fixing and leveling machine in which the fabric is dried by holding it horizontally in the factory with the help of needles and peg pallets.
Advantages Of Stenters
- Drying and condensation processes can also be carried out after the impregnation of finishing materials such as fire retardant, wrinkle retardant and water repellency with the help of the scarf in front of it.
- Thermosetting of synthetic fabrics.
- The drying speed is quite high. However, since stenters take up little fabric, a large area is required and they cannot be worked at high speeds.
- Thermosol method (heat fixation of dyed and printed fabrics) can be applied.
