Field of application

Horizontal spiralizing machine up to 2×24 threads

Our innovative horizontal spiralizing machine has been specially developed for seamless integration into online production between two extruders. With a choice of 2 × 8, 12, 16 or 24 bobbins, it enables the precise spiraling or optional knitting around of plastic, silicone or rubber tubing – according to your production requirements.

Thanks to its flexible configuration and robust design, it is the ideal solution for demanding hose processing applications – efficient, reliable and future-proof.

Machine data

Knitting head diameter, machine gauge and number of knitting systems by arrangement. The machine speed depends on the gauge, knitting head diameter, yarn material and bobbin type. More detailed information on request. Subject to design changes!

Machine design

  • Straight hose guide at a height of 1 m through the machine
  • Hose extraction via caterpillar extractor (800 mm long / 90 mm wide), special dimensions possible
  • Mesh and lay length infinitely adjustable and readable
  • Frequency-controlled drive motor with 2-quadrant drive technology
  • Robust, soundproofed machine design for quiet and safe operation
  • Ball bearing mounted, maintenance-free rotating machine elements
  • Patented yarn feeders with yarn end monitors for a uniform knitted or laid pattern
  • Processing of twisted and untwisted yarn bobbins possible
  • Air disc brake per machine: safe stopping within 3 seconds – even in the event of power or air failure
  • Spiralizing heads easily interchangeable (also available in a split version)
  • Knitting heads with swivel-in device can be changed quickly and are compatible with the horizontal machine
  • Indication of mesh size, tolerance, speed, production speed, production length, operating hours and much more via display – further options available
  • Electrical equipment and wiring according to CE standard
  • Patented yarn tension compensation system reduces yarn tension to below 20 g/cN – ideal for cylindrical bobbins and delicate yarns
  • Enables or considerably simplifies the production of mandrel-free hoses

Extensions

  • Electronic optical thread monitoring (BTSR) for reliable detection of thread breaks and irregularities
  • Coil fill level monitoring with signal transmitter for timely warning when the coil is almost empty
  • Stroboscope for better visual inspection of rotating machine parts during operation
  • Machine modules can also be set up and operated separately from each other
  • Swivel arm for the HMI control panel enables ergonomic and flexible machine operation
  • Integrated remote maintenance module for worldwide remote access to the drive, PLC and HMI – ideal for updates and support
  • Machine installation on rails possible, with longitudinal or transverse movement for flexible production layouts
