Edges that will not open in a short zone
A heavy denim edge forced open in one step creases rather than flattens. Four adjustable fingers open it across a longer zone, in stages.
Pain Points
What Goes Wrong On These Lines
Pin bed wear rate
Heavier cloth means more tension on the pins and faster pin wear. Beds that are patched plate by plate end up with stepped pin height, which shows on the selvedge.
Blade life
Denim dulls a cutting blade faster than lighter goods. High speed steel holds its edge longer, but the change schedule still has to be shorter than on a light woven line.
Fibre load in the pin bed
Denim sheds. Brush wheels clear the bed, and when they wear down the fibre builds up and marks the cloth.

FAQ
Questions From Denim Finishing Plants
Which uncurler suits denim?
A four finger type. Four fingers open the edge across a longer zone in stages, which is what a heavy, strongly curling denim edge needs. A short uncurler creases it instead.
How often should pin plates be renewed on a denim line?
By section rather than plate by plate, and on a schedule that reflects the heavier tension. A single new plate between worn neighbours gives a step in pin height that shows on the selvedge.
Why do blades dull so fast on denim?
Denim is abrasive. High speed steel holds its edge longer than a general tool steel, but the change interval still needs to be shorter than on lightweight goods.
What about fibre build-up in the pin bed?
That is what the brush wheel is for. When the brush wears down the cloth is no longer pressed fully onto the pins and fibre accumulates, which then marks the cloth.
Contact or contactless uncurler for denim?
Denim edges can mark, so some plants use pneumatic units even here. Mechanical roller and finger types are the usual choice and cost far less.
Can you supply everything for a denim range from one order?
Yes: uncurlers, pin plates, holders, chain, clips, brush wheels and cutting blades all ship together from Shaoxing.

What Is a Stenter Machine and How Does It Work
The stenter heat-sets and dries fabric by stretching it to width and holding it there under controlled heat.
Key Parts of a Stenter Machine

Pin Stenter or Clip Stenter Which To Use
Clips leave no pin marks and suit thicker fabrics; pins hold more tension and run faster, to 100 m per minute.
