PEEK Roller for Selvedge Uncurlers Second Size
A selvedge uncurler opens and flattens the edges of fabric during dyeing, finishing or printing. Uncurlers work either mechanically, by physical contact, or pneumatically, which is contactless and suits delicate fabrics such as denim. Roller types come in two, three and four finger designs. They are used on stenters, pre-shrinking machines and printing machines to stop fabric curling or edge damage at high running speed. These rollers are the PEEK wear parts that carry the fabric edge inside that device. This is our second roller size. Roller uncurlers come in two, three and four finger designs and the finger spacing changes the roller that fits, so we hold more than one size.
Key Benefits
- Second roller size so two and four finger uncurlers are both covered
- PEEK working surface, self-lubricating and wear resistant
- Turns with the fabric edge rather than sliding against it
- Available in black, white and yellow
Application Scenarios
- Uncurlers with a different finger spacing from the standard
- Mills holding rollers for more than one uncurler design
- Scheduled roller changes before the surface grooves
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.

How It Compares
| Compared With | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Our first PEEK roller size | Different size for a different finger spacing. Measure the roller you are replacing before ordering. |
| Nylon rollers | PEEK holds up better at high temperature and is self-lubricating. Nylon is the lower cost option for cooler positions. |
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
