Making a semi-rigid core spun yarn consists of covering a texturised or semi-rigid filament with a cut natural, artificial or synthetic fibre. The properties of this type of yarn are highly appreciated in the knitwear industry since they give fabrics greater consistency and elasticity.

The greatest versatility in core yarn production is provided by Pinter’s positive feed system, a versatile device that allows users to work with elastic, texturised, semi-rigid or rigid filaments depending upon their needs.

A device designed bearing in mind the format of the filament to be used and every spinning frame model.

Components:

• Creel with special surface finish for support and traction of elastomer bobbins.
• Positive creel feed system: mechanical gearing system or servomotor with electronic drive.
• Creel for support of filament bobbins in vertical position adaptable to any cop or bobbinsize.
• Individual weights to ensure proper feeding of semi-rigid filament.
• “V”-shaped rotary guide with special surface finish and with the possibility of progressive lateral movement in both directions. Yarn guide to ensure stability in centring.
• Manual fixing device for the side to side movement (roving).
• Automatic fixing for the side to side lateral movement on back rail (filament).
• Optionally, Pinter can provide an additional creel with a complete filament guide system using individual, specially-treated tubes.
