Stenter Infeed Equipment and Accessories

Not everything on a stenter is a wear part. This section covers the infeed equipment that decides whether the fabric edge arrives open and square at the pinning point: web guiders and pneumatic selvedge spreaders from Erhardt+Leimer of Germany.

The Range

Every Stenter Equipment and Accessories We Make

E+L web guiders and pneumatic selvedge uncurlers for the stenter infeed.

The Problem

Why This Category Exists

A curled edge arriving at the pin bed is pinned folded, and that shows as a defect down the whole roll. No amount of pin plate quality fixes an edge that was never opened, which is why the infeed is worth treating as equipment rather than as an afterthought.

Who This Is For

  • Knit finishers running elastane blends where edge marking is not acceptable
  • Mills upgrading from mechanical uncurlers after repeated edge complaints
  • Engineers renewing a whole infeed station rather than one component

Problems It Solves

  • Curled selvedges being pinned folded and showing as a defect down the roll
  • Edge abrasion from rigid mechanical holders on jersey and spandex blends
  • Line speed held back at the infeed because the edge cannot be opened reliably

FAQ

Questions About Stenter Equipment and Accessories

Pneumatic or mechanical uncurler?

Pneumatic is contactless and is the right answer for elastane blends and fine jersey. Mechanical finger or roller types cost far less and are adequate on wovens and heavier cloth.

Are the E+L units genuine?

The ELSPREADER LPA 03 is an Erhardt+Leimer product made in Germany. We supply it alongside the Chinese-made wear parts we manufacture ourselves.

Can you match my existing infeed bracket?

Send a photo with a scale reference or a drawing of the mounting point and we confirm the interface.

What air supply is needed?

Clean dry compressed air. Oil or moisture carried into the nozzles ends up on the fabric edge.

Can I order the infeed and the pin bed together?

Yes, and it is the sensible approach when a station is being renewed, because the two have to work together.

Lead time?

Within 7 days for stock items; matched-to-bracket work confirmed at quotation.
