Chain built for Italian Ferraro compacting machines rather than for a stenter frame.

Stenter Chains
LK Stenter Chain Parts
Individual LK chain components for servicing rather than replacing the chain.
Product Overview
These are the individual chain components for LK stenter frames, supplied so that a chain can be serviced instead of replaced. We offer several types and quality levels, and we customise to requirement where the standard parts do not fit.
Servicing is almost always the cheaper route while the chain pitch still gauges within tolerance. It is only when elongation has reached the point where the pin bed drifts out of register that a complete chain becomes the honest answer.
Key Benefits
- Replace only the components that have worn
- Several quality levels so parts can be matched to line duty
- Customised where the standard parts do not fit
- Keeps an LK chain productive between major overhauls
Who It Is For
- LK users who service chains rather than replacing them
- Maintenance stores holding LK chain spares
- Engineers extending the life of a chain that still gauges good
Problems It Solves
- Replacing a whole LK chain when only components have worn
- LK chain parts being unavailable individually
- Unplanned stops with no spares on the shelf
Application Scenarios
- Routine LK chain servicing at an annual shutdown
- Localised damage after a jam, with the rest of the chain sound
- Building an LK chain spares kit for the store
Technical Features
- Individual chain components for LK frames
- Several types and quality levels
- Customisable to requirement
- Silver finish

Quality Control
- Dimensional sampling through every batch
- Fit checked against the mating component, not only against the drawing
- Grade marked so a repeat order matches
Customisation Options
- Components made to your sample
- Quality level chosen to suit line duty

Certifications. We make no certification claim for this part. The original company statement is that products comply with international quality standards; no certificate is named and none is asserted here. Ask us directly if your procurement process requires documentation.
Comparison With Other Options
Against a complete LK chain, parts are much cheaper and keep the chain in service. The point at which parts stop being the right answer is measurable: gauge the chain pitch, and when elongation moves the pin bed out of register, replace the chain.
Use Guide
Gauge chain pitch before ordering, so you know whether parts will fix it
Replace wear components as a set along a section, not individually
Inspect the guide rail while the chain is open
Clean the guide and chain at least once a year
Add a high temperature chain oil or grease at every service
FAQ
Questions About LK Stenter Chain Parts
Which components can I buy separately?
The chain parts for LK frames are supplied individually. Tell us which component or send a sample and we confirm availability and grade.
How do I know when to replace rather than service?
Gauge the chain pitch. Servicing is the right answer until elongation stops the pin bed being held in register.
Can you customise a part we cannot source?
Yes. We customise to requirement, and reverse engineering from a sample is routine.
Do you supply chain oil?
Yes, BESLUX high temperature chain oil, which is what we recommend for LK chains.
Do you also make LK pin plates and holders?
Yes, pin plates and 76 mm hold size holders, along with guide rail and brush wheels.
Lead time?
Within 7 days for standard components.

Guides That Cover This Part
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
Entry section, clip or pin chains, rails, heating chambers, exhaust, blowers, temperature control, width adjustment and weft straightener.
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.
Send A Sample And We Will Match The Profile
Seat profiles and geometry changed across frame generations, so the part itself is more reliable than a model number. We identify it and quote the matching specification.
