Bobbins/Cones/Spin Tubes

(Classic Spinning and Winding;

Ring Spinning Carriers & Roving Bobbins)

What is the greatest need of yarn processors? A high-performance carrier—one that starts out with precise dimensions and remains highly uniform and stable under load. One that has its surface finish optimized for even tension and tail control. And, one that is durable, to maintain performance if reused.

Leading weavers and knitters already know the Textube difference, and many specify that their yarn packages be supplied on Textube carriers.

Why? Consistent packages. Higher processing efficiencies. Enhanced take-off performance, especially important in knitting involving finer-count yarns or exotic fiber blends. And the ultimate payoff…higher quality woven and knit goods.

THE TEXTUBE DIFFERENCE

Dimensional stability

• Precisely controlled length

• Absolutely consistent inside diameter at both the base and the nose

• Lot-to-lot uniformity—absolutely critical for productivity on automated spinning frames

• Absolute dimensional stability regardless of relative humidity

• The multi-cycle durability of heavy-wall carriers

• The cost-efficient reliability of thin-wall carriers

Surface properties

• Custom-engineered molded surfaces or finishes

• Optimized tension development, especially critical for early turns

• Improved retention—tails neither slough off too soon, nor stick too long to the carrier

• Productivity-enhancing tail transfer from package to package

Material options to engineer individual solutions

• Base resin compounds

• Impact-modified resins

• Filled resins

• Engineering grade resins

Optimized mechanical and surface properties for even tension and tail control.

Think Textube...think performance

Resin colors

• Wide range of solid color choices

• Exclusive two-color molding capability (for cones and cylinders)

• Hundreds of dual color combinations

• Dual variable coding for easy identification of packages

• Code by plant, yarn weight, fiber blend, machine, etc.—any two combinations of variables

Recyclability

• Recycle yarn carriers best by reusing them

• Even our thin-wall carriers offer multiple cycles

• Heavy-wall carriers give many times the cycles of thin-wall

• Accepted by plastic recyclers for further cost-efficiency

Applications

• Very fine exotic blend yarns

• Heavy industrial yarns

• Monofilaments

• Textube carriers give the desired performance!
