Stenter Parts for Woven Fabric Finishing
Clip rails, pin plates and cutting blades for mills finishing woven goods where the selvedge has to stay clean.
What This Industry Needs From a Stenter Rail
Woven fabric has a firm selvedge, which is exactly what a clip stenter needs to grip. That is why clip rails are usually confined to wovens, and why a woven finisher's parts list looks different from a knitter's. The clip keeps the edges of the cloth relatively flat, which suits thicker fabrics and leaves no pin marks at all.
Pain Points We Hear
- Clips no longer closing fully, so the selvedge slips and the cloth loses width
- Worn knife edges fraying the selvedge instead of gripping it
- Pin marks appearing in goods where the selvedge stays in the finished product
- Ragged trimmed edges because the cutting blade has gone dull
What Buyers Are Looking For
- Clips matched to the exact chain mounting on the machine
- Matched sets so grip is even the whole way along the rail
- Cutting blades in the right thickness for the holder
- One supplier covering clips, chain and blades in one consignment

Guides For This Industry
What Is a Stenter Machine and How Does It Work
A stenter heat sets and dries fabric by holding it at a controlled width while hot air passes through it. This guide walks through the process and names the parts that do the work.

Pin Plate or Clip Which Stenter Rail Suits Your Fabric
Pins hold more tension and run faster but mark the selvedge. Clips leave the edge clean but need a real selvedge to grip. Here is how to decide, and what to do when you need both.
Read GuideWoven Fabric Finishing Questions
Why are clip stenters used for wovens rather than knits?
A clip stenter needs a definite edge to grip, preferably a selvedge. Woven fabric has one; most knits do not.
Will a clip rail handle thick fabric?
Yes, that is where clips are at their best. The advantage of a clip is that the edges of the cloth stay relatively flat, which suits thicker fabrics.
Can I run knits on my clip machine occasionally?
Not reliably on clips alone. A clip and pin double use clip lets one rail do both, and we make one for Monforts frames.
How often should clips be replaced?
Most mills change them at the annual shutdown, in complete sets. Change sooner if the selvedge is slipping or fraying.
