Monforts Stenter Clip Type 1
The first Monforts clip reference in our range, in silver-finish metal. Stenter machines split into clip stenters and pin stenters. The advantage of a clip is that the edges of the cloth stay relatively flat, which suits thicker fabrics. A clip stenter needs a definite edge to grip, preferably a selvedge, so it is usually confined to woven fabrics. The clip starts open. When the cloth enters, the knife of the clip closes and holds the cloth tightly. At the end of the machine the clip opens again and releases the fabric.
Key Benefits
- The Monforts clip most of our customers confirm first against a sample
- Flat cloth edge with no pin marks in the selvedge
- Built for thicker woven fabrics
- Standard line, 7 day delivery
Application Scenarios
- Monforts clip rails running woven goods
- Mills where the selvedge is visible in the finished product
- Planned clip replacement at the annual shutdown
Who It Is For
- Woven fabric finishers running Monforts clip stenters
- Maintenance teams rebuilding a clip rail
- Machinery dealers holding clip stock for local mills
Problems It Solves
- Clips that no longer close fully letting the selvedge slip, so the fabric loses width.
- Worn knife edges cutting or fraying the selvedge instead of gripping it.
- Clips failing to reopen at the delivery end and dragging the fabric edge.

Guides That Mention This Part
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.

What are clips made of?
Metal, silver finish, made in Zhejiang. Send us a sample if you need a specific alloy matched.
Do clips wear faster than pins?
They wear differently. Clips fail at the knife edge and the spring return; pins wear flat or bend. Both are annual-service items on a hard-running line.
Can you supply a full rail of clips?
Yes, packed as matched sets from one production batch.
