LK Stenter Pin Plate
Pin plate for LK stenter rails. LK machines are built in Taiwan and are common across Asian finishing mills, often running mixed with German machines on the same floor. The plate is the same copper and steel construction as our Monforts and Bruckner plates, with the LK hole pattern.
Key Benefits
- Matched to the LK pin plate holder
- Two pin rows at 3 to 4 pins per cm, pins about 5 mm proud
- Copper plate body, carbon steel or stainless steel pins
- Held as a stock line alongside our LK chain and rail guide parts
Application Scenarios
- LK pin rails worn flat after continuous finishing runs
- Mills running LK and Monforts side by side
- Rail rebuilds during planned maintenance
Who It Is For
- Textile finishing mills running LK pin stenters
- Maintenance teams rebuilding a pin rail after a chain overhaul
- Machinery dealers and service companies holding spare part stock for customers
- Mills in Asia running a Taiwanese machine park with mixed European brands
Problems It Solves
- Worn or bent pins let the selvedge slip, so the fabric loses width and the edge frays.
- Plates bought in small lots from different batches give uneven pin height along the rail.
- OEM plates can take weeks to arrive and the stenter stands still while you wait.

How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Monforts pin plates | Different hole pattern. We also convert LK rails to Monforts rails if you want to standardise the machine park. |
| LK clips | Pins take higher tension and run faster; clips leave the selvedge unmarked. |

Why Fabric Leaves the Stenter Narrower Than It Should
Width loss is almost always a grip problem, not a setting problem. Work through the rail in order: brush, pins or clips, holders, chain, guide.
