Flat Nylon Selvedge Uncurler Second Profile
A flat nylon selvedge uncurler is a guide fitted in stenter machines, Monforts, Bruckner or Santex among them, to stop fabric edges curling or rolling during processing. It is made from high-wear nylon or polymer, so it handles fabric smoothly, it is non-abrasive and reduces friction and edge damage, and it resists the heat and chemicals used in finishing. The profile is flat or slightly curved so it opens the edge gently, and it is usually adjustable in height and angle for different fabric types. It mounts at the infeed section of the stenter, just before the pinning or clipping point, and it can replace a metal uncurler where softer handling is needed. We hold this as a second profile reference because mills running two fabric ranges want two curve settings on the shelf rather than readjusting one part every changeover.
Key Benefits
- Second profile held so two fabric ranges can each have a dedicated part
- Same non-abrasive nylon surface as the standard reference
- Saves readjusting one uncurler at every fabric changeover
- Adjustable in height and angle within the profile
Application Scenarios
- Mills running two distinct fabric ranges on one machine
- Contract finishers with frequent changeovers
- Lines where operators do not have time to reset the infeed each order
Who It Is For
- Finishing mills processing delicate or lightweight fabric that curls at the edge
- Knitted fabric finishers whose goods roll as soon as they relax
- Maintenance teams replacing metal uncurlers that are marking the cloth
Problems It Solves
- A curled selvedge reaching the pins folded, so the edge is gripped double and tears.
- Metal uncurlers abrading or marking delicate fabric at the infeed.
- Uneven stretching and width loss because the edge was never opened flat.
Technical Features and Specifications
Every figure below comes from the part itself. Where a dimension is not listed, it is because we match it against your sample rather than publish a number we cannot stand behind.

Quality Control
- Profile checked against the reference part so the curve is consistent
- Surface finish inspected for burrs that would snag fabric
- Adjustment range checked through its full travel

How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| The standard flat nylon uncurler | Same material and mounting, a different profile so you can keep two settings on the shelf. |
| PEEK rollers | A roller turns with the fabric instead of sliding against it. PEEK rollers suit higher speeds and heavier curl. |
Fitting and Replacing This Part
Step 1
Mount at the infeed section, just before the pinning or clipping point
Step 2
Set the height so the uncurler meets the edge as it opens, not after it has curled
Step 3
Adjust the angle for the fabric, softer settings for lighter goods
Step 4
Check both sides of the machine are set the same
Step 5
Inspect the working surface at each service and replace once it is grooved

How to Choose a Selvedge Uncurler
Flat nylon, three finger, four finger or pneumatic. Match the device to how hard your fabric actually curls, and fit it at the infeed before the pinning point.
Read GuideFlat Nylon Selvedge Uncurler Second Profile Questions
Why would I need two nylon uncurlers?
If you run two fabric ranges with different curl behaviour, having a dedicated part for each avoids resetting the infeed at every changeover.
Is the material the same?
Yes, the same high-wear non-abrasive nylon or polymer, resistant to finishing heat and chemicals.
Can you make a profile to my own drawing?
Yes. Send a drawing or a sample and we will match it.
Do you supply them in pairs?
Yes, matched pairs for the two sides of the machine.
