Creel yarn brakes for the carpet yarn manufacture.

The various creel yarn brakes provide for our customers optimal unwinding properties for their individual yarn materials.

Crocodile Brake

Compensation brake.
The compensation brake ensures constant yarn take-up with reproducibly adjustable take-up forces.
Tension fluctuations in the yarn, such as may be caused by an inferior unwinding property of the supply package, are compensated.

Hysteresis brake

Hysteresis brake.
In addition to the proven solution for the feed pot package, the Volkmann Product Line has now also developed a special hysteresis brake adapted to the requirements of the creel.
The advantages of these brakes are as follows:

  • High precision
  • Simple and fast adjustment
  • Wear-resistant and robust ceramics
  • Absolute reproducibility from brake to brake

 


Roller brake.

The creel yarn brake is now also available as a pneumatic roller brake, centrally adjustable per machine side.
The advantages are:

  • Central adjustability 
  • Reduction of handling times by approx. 1 h
  • Very uniform yarn unwindingOptimum unwinding conditions 
  • Reproducible draw-off strengths
  • Low yarn stress
  • Safe passing of knots / splices
  • Reduction of adjustment errors
  • Processing of special yarns
  • Most easy handling
