This Saben Roller Width 2 is a stenter and dryer — a finishing machine used in textile production to simultaneously stretch, dry, and heat-set fabric to precise widths and dimensions. Stenters, sometimes called tenter frames, are a core piece of equipment in fabric finishing lines, particularly for knitted and woven goods. Saben is a Spanish manufacturer with a recognised presence in the textile finishing machinery sector.
Built in 1999 and located in Spain, this machine is specifically configured for the processing of knitted fabrics, featuring a long entrance section designed to handle the particular feeding requirements of knitwear. The working roller width is 2,600 mm, establishing the maximum fabric width the machine can accommodate. A steamer section is integrated into the line, enabling steam treatment of the fabric ahead of or as part of the finishing process. Tensioning and width control are managed through a vertical pin chain system running across seven cambers, which allows controlled stretching of the fabric along its width.
Heating is provided by gas, and four additional heating units were added in 2006, expanding the thermal capacity of the machine beyond its original configuration. On the infeed side, the machine is equipped with two padder units: an Icomatex two-cylinder padder and a Beta three-cylinder padder, giving the operator flexibility in applying finishing liquors or other treatments to the fabric before it enters the stenter. A Mahlo Orthomat weft straightener is also fitted, an automatic system that detects and corrects weft bow and skew in the fabric to ensure accurate grain alignment through the process.
At the exit end, the line includes a J-scray accumulator, an inspection station, and a folder, providing a complete downstream sequence for fabric accumulation, quality checking, and presentation of the finished cloth. The machine is offered in as-is, where-is condition.
