Biology

A Stenter is a fabric transport device for bringing dimensional stability to the fabric. This machine grasps fabric at both selvages simultaneously and continuously and carries it from one point to another. Two endless chains equipped with either clips or pins grasp the selvages and move in a proper way, carrying the fabric between them. The width between the two chains can be automatically adjusted by means of motor arrangements. A stenter is the best method of handling fabrics that require precise width control.

The following activities are carried out in stenter machine:

1. Application of finishing chemicals.

2. Drying and stretching

3. Curing

4. Heat setting

5. Pigment dyeing

Operation Procedure

Chemicals are measured using the electronic balance and taken in buckets separately. Chemicals are diluted with hot or normal water based on the references of the chemical literature provided by the chemical company.

Mixing tank is filled up with 50% of water to the required solution level and then chemicals are poured separately into the tank through a piece of filter cloth. Then water is added to get the target solution.

Chemicals are stirred for five to seven minutes by the electrical mixer impeller in the mixing tank and then send to the machine through. Then operator will run 1-meter fabric as a trial run to check the parameter(s), softness and hardness, shade match, etc. which is required by the customer. A small piece of fabric from that trial portion is given to the shift in-charge to check the parameter(s).

If the trial fabric matches with the customer-approved sample then production officer decides to go for the bulk production and operators starts the machine for production.

For the bulk production chemicals solution is prepared using the formula mentioned above and poured into the chemical trough.

The capacity of each tank is 400 litre.

The Licheng Stenter gives you a wide range of options to let you be able to process the fabric the way you like it. Licheng Stenter is fully produced in China, and features the latest in technology.Click the https://www.hotairstenter.com/product/hot-air-stenter.html for extra information on Stenter Machine Manufacturer
