Separator and Hook Reeds

For use in warp yarn preparation processes such as sizing, beaming, and warping

Expansion Board
  • Beam Warper Board with an originally designed expansion mechanism and a ceramic yarn guide developed for higher abrasion resistance
  • Higher Durability enables long life and stable performance during operation
  • Precise spacing of Reed Dents is according to customer specifications
  • Superior Abrasion Resistance -- The Ceramic yarn guide resists damage from glass fiber, full dull, high count yarn, fine denier, and exotic yarn configurations

Hook Reeds

  • Use together with the Hook Reed Leasing Equipment to insure the proper arrangement of the warp yarns during the beaming process
  • Comes in two types:
    • Flat-dent type (top leasing operation) 
    • Round-pin type (bottom leasing operation)
  • Accurate and reliable -- Stable leasing process brings accurate and proper warp arrangement
  • High versatility -- Leasing for all kinds of yarns is possible and using for varieties of industrial fabric
  • Flat-Dent Type
    • Stable leasing is achieved due to a special treatment of the hook segment of the reed
    • This new design enables proper and effective top leasing operation
    • 12mm width dent is using for rigidity of the reed
  • Round-Pin Type
    • Due to the use of round pins contact resistance to the yarn is lowered, making this type of Hook Reed especially appropriate for delicate yarns which are highly susceptible to broken filaments

  • This system is excellent equipment for energy savings
  • The height of the Hook Reeds leasing Equipment can be adjusted according to the height of the warp sheet
  • By moving the Hook Reeds forwards or backwards in relation to the leasing beams, the warp sheet’s shed can be adjusted

Super Expander 50

Characteristics of SUPER EXPANDER 50

Dual Motion

The central joint is designed to protect a constant warp pitch at that point while the left and right two-part expansion groups allow for adjustable spacing. (Pat. Pend.)

Real Straightness

The Super Expansion system employed allows for practically perfect, true alignment of yarns while allowing for 200% expandability, which means that results across wider widths have been greatly improved.

High precision

The combination of the Super Comb’s high precision pitch and the highly reliable joint structures result in amounts of expandability across the width of the comb while highly accurate warp yarn alignments are strictly maintained.

Expander Sraight Comb

Characteristics of EXPANDERS

Expanders are used for the warping of spun yarn. By using a combination of flat dents (or piano wire) with mat hard chromium plating and double springs, the pitch and number of yarns can be freely adjusted.

 
Specification

  • Minimum Pitch 1.5㎜(wire) 1.8㎜(dents)
  • Maximum Number of Dents 1000
  • Expandability About 25%

Back Reed


Characteristics of BACK REEDS

Back Reeds are mainly used for the warping of filament yarn. By using a combination of piano wire with mat hard chromium plating and double springs, the pitch and number of yarns can be freely adjusted.

Specification
  • Minimum Pitch 1.03㎜
  • Maximum Number 1500
  • Expanding Level About 30%

Types and Ranges of Expandability

Using two specially designed frame lengths, superior straightness can be achieved with 99.7% elongation of the total comb element length. This allows for easier yarn insertion and a range of pitch settings double that of previous expansion systems.

Super Expansion configuration at maximum elongation

Expansion Box

The Super Comb has increased accuracy in the area of the comb joints resulting in more stable pitch across the length of the expansion assembly like that of a straight comb.

The needles are arranged with micron-level accuracy using a digitally controlled machining process. The joint segments at both ends of the comb frame are also produced with the same digitally controlled machining process resulting in more stable reed segment connections and thicker framing around the end pins, preventing pin breakage in the area of the frame joints. A new frame joint configuration results in a greater range of angles between combs and increased maximum lengths. This solderless process makes the Super Combs much more environmentally friendly products than their previous versions.

Jumbo Reeds for PMC market

Features:

  • Precise spacing of Reed Dents according to customer specifications.
  • Use of carefully selected Reed Dents firmly secured with a special epoxy resin.
  • Marking on Dent Steel at regular intervals according to customer requirements.

Dent Material:

Stamped Dents (Stainless Steel)

  1. Quality of fabric is enhanced due to reduced frictional resistance to the warp.
  2. Lateral surface roughness is reduced which partially contributes to the reduction in resistance to the warp.
  3. The rounded cross-sectional shape of the stamped dents further contributes to this reduction in warp resistance.
  4. Smooth surfaces and round edges also reduce the incidence of broken filament.
  5. We guarantee that the reed will withstand maximum clamp pressures of 20-25 Nm.
  6. The reeds are easier to maintain,keep better during storage,and maintain higher quality for longer periods.
  7. Excellent choice for durability and anti-abrasion.
  8. The stamped dents are rust resistant and easier to clean.
