Stenter & Setting Machines
Wide-width screen, filter cloth and fabric heat-setting machines. Every machine is custom-built to your process. Call or email us for details.
Wide-Width Screen Stenter Machine
Heat setting machine for polyester, nylon and other synthetic fiber screens (mosquito netting, print backing cloth, industrial filter mesh) - ensures dimensional stability, flatness and physical performance.
Extra-Wide Filter Cloth Drying Cylinder Stenter
Specialized heat setting machine for industrial filter cloth (polyester, polypropylene, nylon) - high temperature and tension control give stable dimensions, even pores, better mechanical performance and filtration accuracy.
Multi-Function Stenter Machine
Key machine in fabric finishing - heat setting gives fabric stable dimensions, hand feel and appearance.
What a stenter / setting line is for
Heat-setting is about dimensional memory, stable width, flat cloth, and—for filter cloth—the balance between pore structure and strength. It is not “just another bake.” Too little heat leaves residual shrinkage and bowing; too much heat or tension can damage pores or stiffen hand feel.
Published Xinghua models cover wide-width screen stenters, extra-wide filter-cloth cylinder stenters, and multi-function stenters for synthetic, knit, nonwoven, and coated fabrics. Configuration follows the factory quotation.
Typical process position
Screen: weave finishing → heat-setting → slit / print prep
Filter cloth: forming → heat-setting → bag sewing / cutting
Coated fabric: coating → optional re-setting → rewind (temperature ceiling often set by the coat)
Usually a fit
- Polyester / nylon screens needing stable width and high flatness
- Industrial filter cloth needing heat-setting for size and even pores
- Synthetic, knit, nonwoven, or some coated fabrics in finishing
Usually another category or out of scope
- Spinning, weaving, or tufting machines (this category is finishing / setting)
- Lab-only intermittent samples with no continuous line need
- No fiber or width tolerance, yet locked filtration rating or strength is demanded
Oven & heating-roller patents
Recent public utility models under Wuxi Qianzhou Xinghua Machinery address mixed soft/hard fabrics in one oven layout and more stable tension through heated rolls. Directions below are from public texts only.
Dual-purpose oven — CN220062464U
Describes a dual-purpose oven structure with chain pin plates, carpet-belt guiding/correction, and secondary width adjustment so soft and hard cloth processes can share one oven concept—reducing changeover friction when the plant runs mixed substrates.
Tension-feedback heating roller — CN220750679U
Uses pressure sensing to feedback tension and adjust infeed/outfeed speed difference, so tension through the drying / heating section stays steadier. Chamber count and heat source remain process-custom items.
How to use this on an inquiry
- Name substrate (screen / filter / multi-function), target width tolerance, and heat source
- Say if soft and hard cloths must share one oven, or if coated fabric sets a temperature ceiling
- Model pages: Wide-Width Screen Stenter, Extra-Wide Filter Cloth Cylinder Stenter, Multi-Function Stenter
