About this machine
This listing offers a pair of used stenter and dryer machines — sometimes referred to as tenter frames — manufactured by Babcock in 1992 and currently located in Portugal. Stenters and dryers are used in textile finishing to stretch, heat-set, dry, and dimensionally stabilise woven and knitted fabrics, and Babcock is a well-established name in textile finishing machinery, known for producing high-specification stentering and fabric processing equipment for industrial textile operations.
Both machines are identical in configuration, each being a Babcock type stenter designed for knits and fabrics, with a roller width of 320 cm. Each unit is a fully equipped finishing line assembled from several integrated sections, described in detail below.
The entry section of each machine includes a J-box fabric accumulator, an E&L centering device for accurate fabric alignment, and a WEKO RF-Compact II spraying unit for moisture or chemical application. A Babcock two-bowl padder, type 5880, with a 320 cm roller width, is incorporated to apply finishing liquors or treatments to the fabric prior to the stenter. Before the fabric enters the drying chambers, it passes through a MAHLO weft straightener with a roller width of 340 cm and six reading heads, which corrects bow and skew distortions in the fabric structure.
The main stenter body features a horizontal clip chain configuration and a 6-metre-long entry field, followed by five drying chambers equipped with gas heating using Eclipse burners. After the chambers, a cooling section of 1.5 metres in length allows the fabric to be brought to a stable temperature before exiting. The exit field extends 3.5 metres in length and incorporates selvedge cutting devices. Immediately before the exit, a second MAHLO weft straightener with four reading heads provides a further correction pass on the finished fabric.
Each line completes with an exit section offering both an A-frame winder and a plaiter, giving operators flexibility in how the finished fabric is collected. Taken together, each of these two machines represents a comprehensively specified stenter line with quality ancillary equipment integrated throughout.
