Side Creels FLEXCREEL Circular Increased efficiency for all your machines Combines the advantages of two systems

FILTERCREEL 3 Self-cleaning blower system reduces contamination and knitting faults

FLEXCREELIncreased efficiency for all your machines Larger bobbins can be installed on the Flexcreel, reducing downtime and increasing the efficiency of the knitting machine. The square tubes of the Flexcreel are fixed to each other using a single type of universal coupling to ensure a solid fastening. This ensures that the segments are highly stable. The Flexcreel is designed for a maximum bobbin load of 90 kg per segment. ■ Open yarn guide ■ Closed yarn guide made from aluminium, crimped aluminium and plastic tubing. ■ Closed yarn guide with air jet for threading the yarn into the tubes. ■...

Transport costs The transport costs for side creels are relatively high due to their weight and volume, representing a significant proportion of the total investment. For this reason Memminger-IRO offers customers the option of procuring the square tubes (items 1, 3, 12, 13, 15) locally themselves and only having the part set supplied by Memminger-IRO.

Technical data

FLEXCREELCircular Advantages FLEXCREEL combines the advantages of two systems The Flexcreel Circular is a combination of Flexcreel and the Ven-ti-Cleaner VCL 5 with 5 motors. The yarn is fed through tubes in order to prevent lint build-up. The 90° elbow tube is designed to reduce yarn contact at this critical point to the minimum. This feature prevents the creation of high yarn tension on the yarn path from the bobbin to the feeder. Plastic or aluminium telescopic tubes are available. ■ Circular design ensures optimum blowing of bobbins by the Venti-Cleaner. ■ The knitting machine and the creel...

Air Jet System (optional) The Air Jet System makes threading the yarn into the tube easy. The system can be used with all tube duct creel configurations. The system means that no extra air jet gun is required on the knitting machine. The system cuts downtime caused by yarn breakages and thus increases knitting machine efficiency. Function diagram

FILTERCREEL 3 Air jets remove creel lint and reduce knitting faults As 30% of knitting room dirt is produced by the creel unit it is necessary to install a FILTERCREEL 3 enclosed yarn creel system. This is the most reliable way of ensuring clean yarn feed, improved machine output and fewer knitting faults. The air jets clean the bobbin tops, surfaces and the yarn reserve. The air-borne lint is then sucked into a flat, floor-mounted filter. Any fluff and lint that has collected on the floor fliter of the unit can be quickly and easily removed by the operator. ■ Thirty percent less lint contamination...

Yarn feed path Fans blow air through oscillating air jets onto the bobbins. This keeps the bobbins, the reserve bobbins and the knot ends free from fibre dust and lint. Yarn is not exposed and is fed through yarn feed tubes. These are available in plastic or aluminium versions. Versions built with modular sections The fibre dust blown off the bobbins is collected by a filter unit on the floor of the FILTERCREEL 3. The filter is easy to remove for cleaning. 3 Swinging bobbin holders 2350 These provides for quick bobbin changeover.
