Stenter
A Stenter (sometimes called a Tenter) is a specialist oven used in the textile industry for drying and heat treating fabric after wet processing.
It consists of heated chambers, adjustable to the width of the fabric being treated. Fabric is fed into the heated chamber supported at either selvedge by a series of stenter pins or clamps which support the fabric as it is moved through the drying chambers. (Note: Stenter pins are the modern equivalent of tenterhooks)
The input and output speed of the fabric is closely controlled, as is the output width, determining the moisture content of the fabric after drying, and the dimensional stability.
Calculation of Solution Amount
Production officer or shift in-charge will provide the recipe with the process flow. The finishing procedure begins with the calculation of solution amount for a particular batch. The formula is as follows :
Solution Amount = Total Weight of Fabric ´ Pick-up Percentage (%) + Trough Content + 3% Wastage.
