Specialty Cones and Cylinders

Got take-up troubles with such equipment as assembly winders or twisters? Textube performance carriers present a solution for you.

Textube offers outstanding custom capabilities in specialty cones and cylinders, combining in-house tooling, engineering and production, resin choices and molding. The result—optimal mechanical and surface properties for a variety of proprietary applications. Among these strategies...molded-in, precision microgrooves for controlled frictional properties.

Textube’s optimal surface properties, precise dimensions and dimensional stability produce a higher quality package. Significant processing efficiencies are effected along the way. The ultimate payoff...higher quality woven and knit goods.

THE TEXTUBE DIFFERENCE

Dimensional stability

• Precisely controlled cone and cylinder 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 high quality packages.

Think Textube...think performance

Resin colors

• Wide range of solid color choices

• Exclusive two-color molding capability

• 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!
