Flat Nylon Selvedge Uncurler and Pinning Device Assembly
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. This reference shows the uncurler mounted as part of the pinning device assembly at the machine infeed, which is how it actually runs. Mills rebuilding an infeed usually want the uncurler and its mounting quoted together.
Key Benefits
- Uncurler and its infeed mounting quoted as one assembly
- Removes the risk of ordering a part that does not fit the mounting you have
- Non-abrasive nylon working surface, adjustable in height and angle
- Sits directly ahead of the pinning point where the edge has to be flat
Application Scenarios
- Complete infeed rebuilds
- Machines where the uncurler mounting is worn as well as the working surface
- Recommissioning a stenter with parts missing from the infeed
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

- Parts packed in matched pairs for the two sides of the machine
Customisation Options
- Profile and mounting matched from your sample
- Height and angle range set for your fabric

How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| The uncurler on its own | Order the part alone when the mounting is sound. Order the assembly when the mounting has play or is missing. |
| Pneumatic spreaders | A powered spreader such as the E+L ELSPREADER handles heavy curl on elastic knits. This passive assembly costs far less and suits lighter 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.

What is included in the assembly?
The nylon uncurler together with its infeed mounting. Send us photos of your infeed and we will confirm the scope before quoting.
Where does it sit on the machine?
At the infeed section, immediately before the pinning point, so the edge is flat when the pins take it.
Can I order the uncurler alone?
Yes, we list it separately as a single part.
Is the mounting adjustable?
The uncurler is adjustable in height and angle. Tell us your fabric range and we will confirm the adjustment you need.
