Chain for Lafer Compact Machines
Chain for Lafer compact machines from Italy. Lafer compacting lines relax knitted fabric back to its natural dimensions, and the chain runs under a different tension profile from a stenter rail. Metal construction, black finish, 0.65 kg reference weight, with grease or without grease.
Key Benefits
- Made to the Lafer compact machine chain pitch
- Metal construction with high quality bearings
- With grease or without grease to suit the machine
- Confirmed against your sample link before production
Application Scenarios
- Lafer compacting lines running knitted goods
- Mills running compacting and stenter finishing on the same floor
- Chain overhauls on Italian-built machines
Who It Is For
- Dyeing and finishing mills running Lafer compact stenters
- Maintenance teams planning a chain overhaul during a shutdown
- Textile machinery service companies rebuilding rails on customer sites
Problems It Solves
- A stretched chain drops fabric tension, so the cloth leaves the machine narrow even with good pins.
- Italian compact machine chain being slow to source from the original builder.
- Waiting on an OEM chain order keeps the whole finishing line out of production.

How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Ferraro compact machine chain | Different Italian builder, different chain pitch. We list the Ferraro chain separately. |
| Monforts stenter chain | Different machine type entirely. Do not substitute one for the other. |

Chain for Lafer Compact Machines Questions
Can you match a Lafer chain from a sample?
Yes. One sample link, or a photo with the pitch measured over ten links, is enough.
Do you supply both Ferraro and Lafer chains?
Yes, we carry both Italian compact machine chains.
Is the chain pre-greased?
Your choice. We supply with grease or without grease depending on how the machine runs.
What else do you make for compact machines?
Ask us with a photo of the part. We quote most chain-related wear parts against a sample.
