PEEK Buffer Block for Monforts Stenters
PEEK buffer block for Monforts stenter machines. PEEK, polyether ether ketone, is a high-performance thermoplastic. It combines high temperature resistance, wear resistance, self-lubrication, low noise, corrosion resistance and high strength, which is why it has spread so widely through textile machinery. A buffer block absorbs the impact where the chain path changes, and PEEK's combination of high strength, wear resistance and low noise is what makes it suited to that duty at chamber temperature.
Key Benefits
- High strength PEEK absorbs impact without cracking
- Low noise compared with a metal buffer
- Wear resistant and stable at stenter chamber temperature
- Sizes 44 x 7, 44 x 6, 45 x 6 and 45 x 6.35, 0.238 kg reference weight
Application Scenarios
- Monforts machines where the buffer has worn or cracked
- Chain path maintenance during a shutdown
- Mills trying to cut machine noise on the shop floor
Who It Is For
- Finishing mills running Monforts stenters
- Maintenance teams working on the chain path
- Machinery dealers stocking Monforts wear parts
Problems It Solves
- Worn buffer blocks letting the chain knock at the transition and damaging links.
- Metal buffers adding noise to an already loud shop floor.
- Brittle buffers cracking at chamber temperature.

How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Metal buffer blocks | PEEK is quieter and self-lubricating, and it is not easy to break. Metal is cheaper but noisier. |
| PEEK nuts | Different job. The nut adjusts rail width; the buffer absorbs impact in the chain path. |
Fitting and Replacing This Part
Step 1
Stop the machine and let the assembly cool before stripping it
Step 2
Note the orientation of the part before removing it
Step 3
Clean the seat completely before fitting the new part
Step 4
Fit by hand, without forcing, and check free movement
Step 5
Replace in complete sets so wear stays even across the machine

PEEK Buffer Block for Monforts Stenters Questions
What does a buffer block do?
It absorbs the impact where the chain path changes direction, so the chain does not knock against the structure.
Why PEEK?
PEEK has high temperature resistance, wear resistance, self-lubrication, low noise, corrosion resistance and high strength, which is why it is used so widely in textile machinery.
What sizes are available?
44 x 7, 44 x 6, 45 x 6 and 45 x 6.35.
Can you match a size from a sample?
Yes. Post us one block and we will match it.
