This Ellis Challenge 200X is a used stenter and dryer — a category of industrial textile finishing machine sometimes referred to as a tenter frame — currently located in Turkey and offered at €9,410. Stenters and dryers are used across the textile industry to heat-treat, dry, and dimensionally stabilise fabrics after dyeing, washing, or coating processes. Ellis Corporation is a well-established American manufacturer with a long history of producing industrial laundry and textile finishing equipment for commercial, hospitality, and manufacturing applications.
The machine is built around a stainless steel drum and a robust body construction, with a wide door opening designed to facilitate efficient loading and unloading in high-throughput environments. It is suited to industrial settings such as textile factories, hotels, and hospitals, with a load capacity in the range of 200 lb to 400 lb depending on configuration.
Heating is available in steam, gas, or electric configurations, supported by a high-efficiency heat transfer system designed for fast, uniform drying. Airflow is rated at 3,500 to 4,500 CFM, and the high-airflow design promotes consistent drying across the full load. An optional heat recovery system can be fitted to improve energy efficiency in continuous-production environments.
The control system features a programmable panel with adjustable settings for time, temperature, and cool-down cycles. Select configurations include a touchscreen interface and automatic fault diagnostics for streamlined operation and maintenance.
Safety provisions include over-temperature protection, a door lock system, and an emergency stop button. Electrical supply is three-phase, rated at either 208–240 V or 480 V. The drum diameter measures approximately 60 to 72 inches, with a drum depth in the same range of 50 to 72 inches, and the machine weighs between approximately 1,500 and 3,000 lbs depending on the specific build. The seller notes that this machine is being offered because their production was relocated abroad and their facility was subsequently renovated.
