This Monforts Montex 7F Twin is a used stenter and dryer — a class of industrial textile finishing machine also commonly referred to as a tenter frame — manufactured in 1996 and currently located in Spain. Stenters and dryers are used in fabric finishing to simultaneously dry, heat-set, and control the width and dimensional stability of woven, knitted, or nonwoven textiles as they pass through a series of heated chambers. Monforts is a well-established German manufacturer of textile finishing machinery, recognised across the global textile industry for its stenter, dryer, and coating lines.
This machine is configured with a working width of 1800 mm and features seven chambers with gas heating, providing an extended treatment zone suitable for a range of fabric types and finishing processes. The chain system is horizontal, equipped with both pin and clip attachments, giving operators the flexibility to handle a variety of fabric constructions and finishes.
The entry section is equipped with a Monforts padder and a Mahlo weft straightener. The padder applies liquor, finish, or treatment chemicals to the fabric immediately before entry into the stenter, while the Mahlo weft straightener corrects any skew or bowing in the fabric structure prior to heat treatment, helping to ensure consistent quality in the finished cloth.
At the exit end, the machine includes a cooling zone, a J-box, a folder, and rolling onto an A-frame. The cooling zone stabilises the fabric after heat treatment before it is handled further, while the J-box provides a fabric accumulation buffer to allow continuous operation. The folder and A-frame rolling arrangement enables the finished fabric to be collected in a controlled and manageable form ready for subsequent processing or dispatch.
