Array Tex Stenter and Compactor

The Stenter and Compactor are a system of machines used in textile manufacturing. The Stenter dries and cures fabric in a highly controlled manner. After drying the Compactor pre-shrinks the fabric and gives it a softer feel by compacting the threads, thereby reducing shrinkage when washed by the consumer.
