Twisting & Cabling

CD360State-of-the-art in Twisting

The first question to answer is why twisting and what is the effect of the twisting process on the yarn.

We twist the yarn:
- To protect it (low twist),
- To give strength (medium twist),
- To add effect (high twist),
The twist factor will modify on the yarn:
- Elasticity,
- Covering factor, handling, touch, etc,
- Elongation, strength, etc.

For all the above, SwissTex has the answer with a wide range of twisting machines, and can meet all customer requirements known on today’s world market. Range of yarn is from 20 to 1 200dtex, in continuous filaments, according to machine types (spindle, gauge, etc). To meet all these requirements, several types of spindles are available:
- 90 to 110mm for high twist
- 132 to 140mm for low and medium twist
- 170mm for flat and textured yarn
- 235 to 260mm for low twist textured yarn
The yarn paths on SwissTex machines are in solid ceramic to eliminate broken filaments.

SwissTex take-ups are the best in the world, with individual biconical taper as standard feature, and incorporating in most machines, a pneumatic bobbin lifting device combined with a pneumatic spindle declutching.
All belt tracks are fully enclosed for lower noise and better safety for the operators.
Machines for high and medium twist are available in two decks, for space saving.

Only twisters with well supply pirn or bobbin will run with high efficiency. For this, the
SwissTex pirn winder is the rewinder that every throwster should run with his twisters.
Modern design machines, decades of experience in building twisters, yarn path
concept, quality of twisted yarn, permanent innovation, safety and much more make SwissTex proud of their products.
