About this machine
This Famatex is a stenter and dryer — a machine used in textile finishing to stretch, set, and dry fabric to a precise width as it passes through a series of heated chambers on a pin or clip chain. In the trade these machines are also commonly referred to as stenter frames. Famatex is a well-regarded German manufacturer specialising in textile finishing machinery, particularly stenters and associated equipment for fabric processing in the apparel and knit goods industries.
This particular machine is configured specifically for knit fabrics and offers a working width of 200 cm. It is equipped with three heating chambers, each gas-fired using gas burners, making it suitable for continuous heat-setting and drying of stretch and jersey materials. The chain system is horizontal in orientation, which is a common arrangement for knit fabric processing as it minimises distortion during transport through the machine.
Fabric can be fed into the stenter from a large roll or in folded form, and exits wound onto a roll, giving the operator flexibility in handling different fabric presentations. A foulard is included, allowing the machine to apply finishes, chemicals, or moisture to the fabric prior to entry into the heated chambers — a useful feature for combined padding and drying operations.
Power consumption is quoted at between 40 and 150 kW with a maximum current draw of 63 A, and the seller notes low energy consumption as a characteristic of the machine. Control is mechanical rather than electronic, keeping operation straightforward and maintenance uncomplicated. A quantity of spare parts is included with the sale.
Built in 1972 and located in Poland, this used machine is described as having been well maintained by a professional user throughout its working life.
