Creels, Weaving Creels, Warp Beam Stands & Multi-Warp Beam Creels
In weaving, different arrangements and holders for yarn carriers are essential, especially outside and behind the loom. Below is an overview of the weaving terminology, their functions, and their use in the weaving process:
Terms, Functions, Applications
| Term | Function | Description / Application |
| Creel | Yarn feeding for warping and beaming machines | A simple frame that securely holds cylindrical and conical yarn packages, ensuring orderly yarn feeding during warp beam preparation. |
| Weaving Creel | Yarn feeding for weaving machines | Designed specifically for weaving operations, it holds cylindrical and conical packages and ensures organized feeding to narrow and wide looms. |
| Warp Beam Stand | Yarn feeding for weaving machines | A holder for a single warp beam carrying the warp yarns. It ensures precise feeding to narrow and wide looms. |
| Multi-Warp Beam Stand / Warp Beam Creel | Yarn feeding for weaving machines | A holder for multiple warp beams, providing orderly yarn feeding to narrow and wide looms. |
Note: Terminology may vary slightly depending on region or weaving mill.
Creels for Warp Preparation
We supply creels for warping and beaming machines, which can be flexibly adapted and equipped with high-quality yarn tensioning devices – ensuring smooth processes and maximum efficiency.
Weaving Creels
Weaving creels are developed specifically for weaving operations and are used with both narrow and wide looms. They ensure even unwinding of the warp material and precise feeding of warp yarns to the warp delivery rollers, which are integrated into the CREALET delivery system.
Together with our partners, we specify weaving creels to provide the best solution in combination with the delivery system.
CREALET Delivery Systems
Our delivery systems ensure precise, even, and controlled feeding of warp yarns between the weaving creel and the weaving machine.
Key Advantages:
- Consistent warp yarn delivery
- Optimal start and stop conditions
- Flexible adjustment of warp yarn tension
- Excellent accessibility to the weaving machine
Your Benefit:
Maximum efficiency and top quality in the weaving process through reliable warp yarn control.
Warp Beam Stands & Multi-Warp Beam Stands
When additional warp beams are installed in a warp beam stand or creel behind the weaving machine, the mechanical stability of the stand is of crucial importance. It must be able to reliably accommodate the warp beams and the warp yarn tension.
The deflection rollers for yarn guidance must meet different requirements: under high tension they must be particularly stable, while under low tension they can be designed to be lighter, with surfaces that meet the requirements of friction, smoothness, and wear resistance.
Precise yarn guidance and careful yarn control are essential, with additional guiding elements such as eyelet boards or reed combs used where necessary.
Safety and handling are equally important: warp beams must be firmly secured while still allowing easy and safe insertion and removal. The beam support ensures smooth forward and backward movement and prevents unintended dislodging.
Space and accessibility must also be considered to allow easy operation and maintenance, as well as quick repair of yarn breaks. Different monitoring systems can be integrated to detect yarn breaks.
For correct yarn feeding, an electronic warp yarn delivery system should be implemented, consisting of appropriate tension sensors, drives, and control units. These coordinated components form a system that ensures warp yarns reach the loom with the required tension.
Overall, warp beam stands and beam creels combine flexibility, precise yarn guidance, ergonomics, safety, and ease of maintenance.
