STENTER MACHINE:
A machine or apparatus for stretching or
stentering fabrics.
The purpose of the stenter machine is to
bringing the length and the width to
predetermine dimension and also for heat
setting and it is used for applying finishing
chemicals and also shade variation is
adjusted.

Functions of Stenter Machines:

Heat setting is done by the stenter for lycra fabric
,synthetic and blended fabric.
Width of the fabric is controlled by the stenter.
Finishing chemical apply on fabric by the stenter.
Loop of the knit fabric is controlled
Moisture of the fabric is controlled by the stenter

 Spirility controlled by the stenter

GSM of the fabric is controlled by the stenter.

Fabric is dried by the stentering process

Shrinkage property of the fabric is controlled.
Curing treatment for resin,water repellent fabric
is done by the stenter.

Why choose BRCKNER?

Good reasons to invest in a BRCKNER
POWER-FRAME stenter
Highest drying performance due to the well-engineered and patented
SPLIT-FLOW air circulation system
Up to 35 % energy saving thanks to economical heat recovery and
energy saving concepts
Absolutely homogeneous distribution of air flow and temperature due to
the alternating air flow in the thermo zones (every 1.5 m)
The flexible SPLIT-FLOW air circulation system allows a process control
which is fine-tuned to the particular finishing requirements of all kinds of
fabric
Optimum straightening results due to an innovative, integrated
straightener with shortest possible fabric path to the pin-on point

Working.
The fabric is collected from the batcher to the scray
and then it is passed through the padders where the
finishes are applied and some times shade variation is
corrected.

The fabric is entered into the mahlo (weft

straightener)the function of the mahlo is to set the
bow and also weave of the fabric is griped by the clips
and pins are also provided but the pins has the
disadvantage that they pins makes holes at the
selvedge but the stretching of the pins are greater then
the clips.

 These pins and clips are joined to endless chain.

There are 8 to 10 chambers provided on the
machine each chamber contains a burner and
filters are provided to separate dust from air.
The circulating fans blow air from the base to the
upper side and exhaust fans sucks all the hot air
within the chambers.

 Attraction rollers are provided to stretch the warp yarn.

After stentering we can increase the width of the fabric up to 1.5-2 inch .
The speed of the machine is about 7-150m/min.

3 meters fabric can run in each chamber.

Temperature is adjusted that according to the fabric as for.

Newly developed weftstraightening process with ropes in the entry zone

Straightening in the entry zone

Benefits of the new straightening process

Possibility to straighten bow and S-shaped
distortions by different
speeds of the right, left and central rope
Gentle fabric transport into the dryer due to the
fabric support by the
ropes and additional conveyor belt
Significant increase of the evaporation capacity
by integration of a new
suction drying device in the first dryer zone. Suction
drying process
supported
by conveyor belt leading into the dryer
No distortion of the fabric at the selvedge as the
fabric is supported by
the conveyor belt over the entire width

Integrated weft-straightener in the entry stand

New integrated weft straightener

The new integrated weft straightener allows
achieving perfect
results due to the optimum roller
configuration. As the fabric
is being straightened immediately before
pinning-on, the
straightening effect is maintained and the
formation of new
fabric distortions will be avoided.

Heat exchanger
circulating
air/exhaust gas
(indirect gas heating)
Benefits of the indirect gas heating
Higher temperature homogeneity
No mixing of exhaust gas with the air circulation in the
dryer
High efficiency with lowest emission values
Minimum risk of yellowing effects on the fabric
No chemical reaction of the exhaust gas with the fabric

Benefits of the direct gas heating

Maximum efficiency with low rates of emission
Extremely short heating-up time
Minimum maintenance
Maximum temperature uniformity of the air circulating
in the dryer
by the nozzle system and the counter-type arrangement
with two
burners and two precision temperature controllers per one
3 metre
compartment
Continuous control range of 1:40

Stenter versions with conveyor belt

Benefits and field of application of the
horizontal stenter with
conveyor belt
Particularly recommended for fabric
which is susceptible to distortion
Fabric transport with very low tension
No sagging of the fabric
No fabric distortion across the
complete width and at the edges
Different speed of belt and chain allow
to straighten bow distortions
Without chain, the machine can be
used as relaxation dryer and allows
achieving optimum residual shrinkage
values
Possibility to install a suction zone in
front of the first drying zone to
increase the evaporation capacity

Available as an option:
Automatic lint screen cleaning

Double lint screens

BRCKNER chain and chain rail systems

It is a unique feature of all BRCKNER
transport chains, that the
gliding
elements are directly fixed on the clips
(horizontal chain).
All gliding elements are easily accessible
from outside of the dryer for
maintenance.
No disassembly of the chain rail required.
The gliding elements are made of a
compound material which
needs no lubrication and is thus almost
maintenance-free.

Clip for horizontal chain

Pin plate holder for horizontal chain

Vertical chain with maintenance free chainrail

The vertical chain STAR-DUR

The vertical chain rail is
completely maintenance free as
all gliding
elements
are directly mounted onto the
chain.

The horizontal chain STAR-FORCE

The horizontal transport chain STAR-FORCE is a

very solid system
that is designed for extremely high transverse
force. Due to the closed
greasedeposit lubrication, this needle-ball-bearing chain
needs only
minimum
maintenance

The horizontal chain

Due to the oil-lubricated

steel bushing and the ball

combination, the
horizontal chain STAR-ROLL
is a very solid system
that is designed for
extremely high transverse
