ADVANCED KNITTING TECHNOLOGY MPF LPositive Feeder:Low tension, uniform feed from yarn bobbin to needleSmooth, 100% positive yarn feed is a major factor in ensuring fabric quality and fault-free fabric. The MPF L features a self-cleaning tensioner ring on the yarn infeed tensioner and a closed, low-wear winding reel. Other features include a built-in anti-filamentation device and yarn outfeed tension values lower than 1 cN. The design specification for the MPF L stipulated that the unit must be easy to operate, require little maintenance, must feature low wear components and have a long life cycle. The specification has been met in full. ADVANTAGES ■ The self-cleaning vibrating yarn tensioner prevents false stoppages and thus increases production rates ■ A magnetic tension ring applies a uniform tensioning force - incorrect setting is no longer possible ■ Built-in anti-filamentation unit ■ Low-wear, corrosion proof, closed winding reel ■ Very low yarn tension possible ■ Back winding due to yarn overfeed caused by fabric fault also possible ■ High-quality plastic base unit saves weight

CLOSED WINDING REEL INFEED ARM VIBRATING YARN TENSIONER The tension rings vibrates against the yarn direction of feed. This prevents the build up of dirt between the tension rings and ensures they are self-cleaning. The closed, low-wear winding reel prevents filament build up when processing filament yarns. This eliminates the obstruction as with the normal infeed bracket and so makes it quicker to change the drive belt on the MPF. When processing filament yarns capillary filaments can collect on the winding reel and interfere with smooth yarn feed. The user can prevent this by selecting the...
