This Montforts 6500 6F TwinAir is a used stenter and dryer — also widely known as a tenter frame — manufactured in 2014 and currently located in the Netherlands. Stenters and dryers are core finishing machines in the textile industry, used to dry, heat-set, and dimensionally stabilise woven and knitted fabrics by stretching them to a precise width while passing them through a controlled heat environment. Montforts is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in textile finishing machinery, supplying equipment to mills and fabric processors worldwide.
This particular machine is a six-chamber configuration with a working width of 2,800 mm, meaning it can process fabric up to that width in a single pass across all six drying and heat-setting chambers. Heating is provided by gas. The six-chamber layout gives the machine a substantial treatment zone, allowing operators to run longer dwell times or higher throughput speeds while maintaining consistent thermal processing across the full fabric width.
The machine is equipped with a Mahlo RFMC-12E straightening mechanism, a system used to detect and correct weft bow and skew distortions in the fabric before or during processing, helping to ensure dimensional accuracy and pattern alignment in the finished goods. Fabric guidance is handled by an Erhardt and Leimer BFA3700 system, which steers the fabric precisely into the stenter to prevent edge misalignment and creasing during entry.
The listing is offered on an as-is, where-is basis in visible condition, meaning the machine can be inspected in the Netherlands prior to purchase. It is priced at €280,000.
