Small Delivery Unit SOLEX
Solution for weaving from the creel with a big, positively controlled brake drum for maximizing the grip on the yarn.
AN EXAMPLE OF THIS SOLUTION FAMILY:
Warp thread feed systems
Greater system efficiency and higher fabric quality
OVERVIEW
The delivery unit precisely feed the yarn to the weaving machine.
For yarn types with low adhesion or made from less porous materials, special feeding systems are necessary. This is especially true for yarns made of polyester, nylon, acrylic, or viscose, as these threads tend to have the property of adhering less to other surfaces or materials.
The design of this unit is crucial. A big brake drum serves to maximize the grip of the yarn. Also the feeding roller should be equipped with a suitable coating that has the correct hardness and surface roughness. In some cases, a pressure roller is necessary to prevent slippage during feeding.
KEY ADVANTAGES
- The feeding units are integrated in existing and new racks
- The number of feeding units is dependent on the fabric construction
- Each feeding position is separately powered by a gear motor
- Setting of warp tension with spring and control screw
- Optional tension measuring unit available
- Easy handling
- Maintaining consistent warp tension throughout the entire production process
CONSTANT WARP THREAD TENSION
When weaving from a creel special attention should be given to the warp delivery unit between creel and weaving machine. This unit ensures that the weaving machine is provided with the correct length of warp yarn. By using a delivery unit to maintain the constant tension of the warp threads, the productivity and product quality of the weaving machine can be further improved.
The delivery unit regulates the warp tension between the creel and the weaving machine. A feeding roller guides the warp material to the weaving machine with the desired tension. Typically, the warp tension between the creel and the delivery unit is lower than the tension between the delivery unit and the weaving machine.
The warp tension between the delivery unit and the weaving machine is measured by a dancing roller and controlled by the control unit. The required warp thread tension can be directly adjusted via the spring.
Bobbin creels are used in technical applications such as warping, weaving, knitting, and pultrusion. They must accommodate the required number of spools and ensure that the yarn tension is equal across the entire warp sheet. The size of the bobbins creel and the number of spools depend on the number of yarns. If the available space is insufficient, using additional warp beams in a separate frame provides the optimal solution.
