Pneumatically braked creels

Pneumatic, reliable, fast
TEXMER is pleased to accept any challenge: our customers‘ individual wishes have led to the development of high-quality pneumatically braked creels that are part of the standard range today. The pneumatic system is characterized by short response times, high operational safety and extremely low wear. The quick-stop controller can be coupled with practically every process. In addition, an optical diameter control secures trouble-free operations. Adapters can be supplied to fit nearly all standard pins.

Technically sophisticated creels are intensively tested in the construction phase. Finished creels are assembled element by element prior to shipment and a comprehensive final inspection and functional test is carried out.

The electrical/pneumatic control system is manufactured according to the latest standards with German quality components and complies with VDE guidelines.

At TEXMER, many components are developed individually; e. g. bobbin adapters for up to three completely different bobbin adapters and bobbin diameters.
Ball-bearing spindles and powerful drum brakes make it possible to brake from several hundred m/min within a very short time to a standstill.
Pneumatically braked creels are used in applications with tangential haul-off where the bobbins have to be stopped at the same time as the subsequent process, e. g. in artificial turf production.

Initial twist/flanged bobbin creels

Solutions for particularly flexible production installations
Depending on the production process, the required work sequence or construction preconditions the TEXMER team also realizes installations in special construction forms, e.g. creels hanging from rails, or creels with overhead drawing off. The TEXMER design team takes up all challenges and fulfils individual customer requirements down to the last detail.

Pre-twist creel for the tire cord industry.

Ball bearing mounted rollers allow the creels trolleys to be easily moved even with full equipment and arranged for the production process.

TEXMER creel for the unwinding of PVC threads on flange bobbins for the production of outdoor carpets.

Glass roving creels

Special solutions for the fibreglass processing industry
Creels for fibreglass processing have to have special features, e.g. the rovings are drawn off from the inside. With the very low yarn tensions exact control is particularly important. In the TEXMER creel the yarn is drawn off as far as possible without deflection and comes into contact with the creel as little as possible.

The desired low yarn tension can be set exactly by individually adjustable leaf brakes.

With the design with horizontal rovings there are no creel-related standstills. The roving can be connected to the
beginning of the replacement roving while the system is running.

Replacement rovings are fitted from the rear side without interrupting the running process.

TEXMER has developed a particularly cost-effective version for vertical fume cupboards.

Electronically controlled Creels

Electronically controlled unwinding unit (EGA®)
This unwinding unit enables a uniform thread drawing-off. That means that once adjusted the controlling unit will maintain the required thread tension by accelerating or decelerating the motor throughout the entire time of operation.

  • unwinding speed: 1 – 180 m/min
  • Yarn tension range EGA600:50 – 600 cN
  • Yarn tension range EGA2000:50 – 2000 cN
  • Input parameters: Thread tension and titer of the bobbin
  • Regulation: individual adjustment of each bobbin position
  • Coil diameter: variable
  • Standard bobbin take-up: 76 or 94 mm – other diameters available on request
  • Running direction: right and left possible
  • Bobbin weight EGA600: up to 16 kg
  • Bobbin weight EGA2000: up to 40 kg
