WEBSITE DETAILS:-

 

Polypropylene Continuous filament yarn in the early 60’s was used in carpets, but over the years with the improvement in the extrusion technology, finer denier yarns have been successfully and commercially manufactured, enabling diverse end uses of this yarn in apparel, hosiery, automotive and medical applications. The Polypropylene yarn offers some unique features for example, low specific weight, resistance water absorption, insulation, colour fastness and also offers good price advantage over many other textiles yarns.

 

Subject has been in the business of Polypropylene extrusion for almost two decades and therefore it was very natural for them to utilise their experience to enter in this new and growing industry.


It is very important in Polypropylene filament extrusion that the dormant time of the polymer is the short to avoid wastage in the colour changes, degradation of polymer etc. Keeping these requirement in mind, the ‘LoFil’ Polypropylene extrusion line was designed and developed by a team of experienced and skilled Europeans with decades of experienced in this field. The salient features of the machine are:


1. Compact dimension

 

2. High Flexibility to produce different kind of yarns and colour

 

3. Low wastage due to small batch size etc.

 

4. Cost Effective

 

5. European design technology

 

6. All critical items sourced from Europe /USA

 

7. Very Fine Quality of Yarns

 

The Machine manufactured by us comes in 3 basic versions of POY (Partially Oriented Yarn), FDY (Fully Drawn Yarn) and HT (High Tenacity) Yarn. Over and above these 3 versions these are special version for fine denier and low DPF yarn. The specifications of the machine are given below:


a) Dosing –Volumetric and Gravimetric Dosing Unit as per Customer’s need.

 

b) Special Low Shear Screw of different sizes with low energy consumption.

 

c) Automatic Screen belt filter with very low maintenance requirement.

 

d) Spinning Beam with Fully metered melt stream and low energy consumption.

 

e) Large spin packs for high number of filaments

 

f) Air Quench with cross flow and automatic temperature control.

 

g) Adjustable height of spin finish systems with oil dispersion jets

 

h) All godets in pairs (no pin/idle rollers) for high quality yarn. Godet stands come in various configurations, depending or, the requirement.

 

i)   Automatic computer controlled system with fault finding recipe management and trend analysis etc.

 

j)   Automatic ASW winders for good packages, low waste arid high transfer efficiency.

 

k)  Winding speeds upto 4000 m/min.

 

l)   Titre range from 50 to 2000 dtex

 

m) The above specifications and advantages can thus be summarised as below:

·          Proven Technology

·          High Yarn Quality

·          High Reproducibility

·          Low Labour Costs

·          Low Running Costs

·          Low Energy Costs

·          Low Investment Costs

·          Low Space Requirement

·          Low Waste Levels

·          Minimum Installation Time
