Stentex Stenter Clip
Clip for Stentex stenters. Stentex is a German stenter builder, and the clips are a regular wear item on its rails. 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. Black finish metal, 0.65 kg reference weight, supplied with grease or without grease.
Key Benefits
- Made to the Stentex chain mounting
- Knife grips the selvedge at entry and releases at the delivery end
- With grease or without grease to suit your guide
- Matched against a sample so the fit is confirmed before production
Application Scenarios
- Stentex clip rails running woven goods
- Older Stentex machines outside OEM parts support
- Rail rebuilds during a shutdown
Who It Is For
- Woven fabric finishers running Stentex 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.

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.
