Quality & efficiency

The best creeling quality is attained when:

• All ends are wounded on with constant tension.
• The thread array is correct throughout.

• Lost ends are avoided.

The warp quality determines, to a great extent, the weave room efficiency and contributes significantly to an optimal weaving result. Unacceptable tension variations, tension peaks and frequent standstills are expensive and cause production losses. HUYS creels and tensioners keep the tension of each individual end absolutely constant. The stop motion units monitors the thread sheet surely and reliably.

Speed
Winding speeds can be increased to limits imposed only by such factors as warping speed capability and inherent yarn quality. Hence, weave preparation output will increase considerably.

Designed for maximum reliability and optimal stability
All of the HUYS creels feature a rugged steel construction made of heavy-duty square steel tubes and aluminium profiles to add strength without excessive weight. The strong steel construction needs no external reinforcement. The package frames are suspended from the cross members, leaving the floor absolutely free for cleaning. The creels remain absolutely vibration-free, even at top creeling speeds or at maximum yarn tensions. The self threading yarn guides are made of polished alu-oxid ceramic. Conductive titanium-oxide yarn guides are also available to reduce the build-up of static electricity.

Modular creel concept for long life flexibility.

The creels are designed and engineered to match each customer's requirement. As a result of the modular concept, the creel lay-out can easily be changed at a later stage. Your today's investment is guaranteed for changing requirements in the future.
The creels are designed and fabricated for compact packing and easy installation. Erection, packing and transportation costs are reduced to a minimum. This will substantially decrease the total investment cost.

To satisfy every quality- and performance requirement HUYS has a full range of warping and beaming creels. A tailor-made solution can be offered to every customer. To cover all of the requirements four basic models have been developed. These are all extensible at will to satisfy the individual needs.wise the distance from package to tensioner can be adjusted for optimal balloon formation. The frames can be moved by hand or optionally with motorized run-out. The operation of the creel is extremely simple and the required floor space is small.

This is one of the most widely used type of creel. This creel features a fixed steel construction with suspended tensioner frames. This offers excellent accessibility and handling.
By moving the tensioner frames laterally, a loading gangway is created between the packages and the tensioners. Likewise the distance from package to tensioner can be adjusted for optimal balloon formation. The frames can be moved by hand or optionally with motorized run-out. The operation of the creel is extremely simple and the required floor space is small.

With outside yarn sheet, type FCO

Fixed central package frame with outside movable tensioner frames. This is the most commonly used construction with easy yarn sheet access for fast yarn break repairs.

The fixed frame creels are very often used in pairs, servicing a traversing warper. One creel can be running while the other is being preloaded.

The packages are loaded on double-sided trucks that can be entered and taken out individually. The trucks have ball-bearing mounted wheels for effortless movement. The special wheel arrangement allows the trucks to be turned 360° on the spot.
During the creeling of the first set of trucks the reserve set can be reloaded to shorten lot changing times considerably and enhance the productivity of the warping equipment. The downtime is restricted to the time required to move the carriages in and out and to knot the yarns.

Heavy duty trucks are available. This reinforced non-tilting version can take packages weighing up to 800 kg.

The next set of packages to be run can be loaded and prepared while the warper is running the previous set. When the running packages are empty, the package frames can be rotated to bring the new set of packages into the active position. The rotating frames have a locating catch-handle for easy positioning.
Swivel frame creels are used for warping successive sets of equal length yarn packages with minimum stop time and maximum production. This creel is particularly suited for large packages of filament yarn.

This creel is available in two versions:

• With outside yarn sheet:

This type is mainly used when the yarn run should be accessible to repair broken ends

• With inside yarn sheet:

This model is selected when heavy packages are used to facilitate handling and accessibility. This configuration allows optimal matching of the thread array angle to the warping- or beaming machine.

A magazine creel allows continuous, non-stop, yarn take off. There are two packages per end. Each package is fitted to an invidual arm which can be rotated for easy loading and unloading.
Because the yarn end of the running package is knotted to the beginning of the reserve package, continuous creeling is possible. No leftover material will remain on the bobbins. This creel will therefore eliminate waste material and rewinding.

This creel is used for high volume and long run production where a high warper or beamer efficiency is essential. Depending on the application the creel may be configured for inside or outside draw-off.

Motorized tensioner frame adjustment
With high production speeds the distance between package and tensioner frame is a major factor for trouble-free unwinding. The frame can be brought into correct working position by pushbutton. The outside position for lot changing is also assumed automatically.

Ant-snarling bars
Two vertical hinged rods are installed between each column of package ends and the tensioners. These bars will eliminate any excessive ballooning and snarling. Yarn deflection can be adjusted by selecting one of different rod positions.

Anti-static bars
Arranged at the creel exit they will effectively eliminate electrostatic charges in the yarns.

Different sizes of bobbin spindles
The length of the bobbin spindles is 225 or 310 mm. The standard diameter of the spindles is 12 mm. For heavy bobbins a diameter of 16 mm is also available.

Remote control
Twin pairs of stop buttons (left and right) can be installed in the creel to stop the section warper from the creel.

Central tensioner adjustment
All the self compensating tensioners are linked together. They can be adjusted centrally by means of two servo-motor drives.

Traveling cleaner
The blow tubes and blow nozzles are specially adjusted to the creel construction to ensure well aimed blowing of air to the thread guides, tensioners and stop motion units. The filter waste is discharged by means of a collecting box or discharged to a central collecting station.
