Multi Brand Spare Parts Supply
Parts for multiple brands of stenter machine, so a mixed fleet is served from one order.
How It Works
Step By Step
Uncurler, web guider and pinning device treated as one station rather than three separate fittings.
Diagnose the edge
Watch the edge enter at production speed, not at crawl. Curled, folded and frayed edges each need a different answer, and a station that works on medium woven goods will mark elastane.
Choose the opening method
Pneumatic spreading is contactless and is the right answer for ultra-delicate elastic knits, jersey, spandex blends and lightweight wovens. Mechanical finger and roller types cost far less and are adequate on heavier cloth. Three fingers suit medium weight; four open a stubborn edge across a longer zone.
Fix the geometry
A combined nylon uncurler and pinning device assembly holds the opening face and the press wheel in a fixed relationship, which is what stops the setting drifting between shifts on a line with frequent article changes.
Match the contact material
Metal guides can damage the edge on delicate or lightweight fabrics. High-wear nylon is non-abrasive, resists heat and finishing chemicals, and is normally adjustable in height and angle.
Renew both sides together
Fitting one new blade against one worn one gives asymmetric edge behaviour and different wear rates. Both sides, matched, is the only setting that stays repeatable.
Record settings per article
Once the station is right, record the settings by article. Changeovers then stop being a matter of who is on shift.
FAQ
Questions About Infeed Station Renewal
Pneumatic or mechanical uncurler?
Pneumatic for ultra-delicate elastic knits, jersey, spandex blends and lightweight wovens, because the spreading is done by air and there is no contact face. Mechanical for heavier cloth, at a fraction of the cost.
Why does the edge matter so much?
A rolled or curled selvedge causes uneven stretching, defects and handling issues, and it stops the fabric aligning properly in the chain clips or pins. The fault runs the length of the roll.
Should I buy the combined assembly or separate parts?
Separate parts are cheaper and easier to source piecemeal. The assembly holds the geometry between uncurler and press wheel, which is worth paying for on lines with frequent article changes.
Three fingers or four?
Four opens the edge across a longer zone, in stages, which a heavy or stubbornly curling edge needs. Three suits medium-weight work and tight mounting spaces.
Can you match my existing bracket?
Yes. Send a photo with a scale reference or a drawing of the mounting point.
Do you supply the pin bed behind the infeed?
Yes: pin plates, holders, chains and clips for Monforts, Bruckner, Artos, LK, IL SUNG and other frames, all from the same order.
Other Solutions
Other Ways We Work
Custom Parts To Drawing or Sample
We customise parts according to customer needs: pin plates, pin plate holders, clips, brush wheels and other metal parts.
Rail Guide Conversion
Artos rail changed to Monforts rail, LK rail changed to Monforts rail, so one specification covers several frames.
PEEK Upgrade Programme
Replace copper mesh linings, metal sliders and lubricated nuts with PEEK, one interface at a time.
Chain Maintenance Programme
Clean the guide and chain at least once a year, grease with a high temperature product, and decide service against replacement by measurement.
Start With One Sample Part
Everything here begins the same way. Send one part per machine, we match it, and the specification is recorded so it never has to be identified again.
