The world leader in electronically controlled warp thread feeding systems and warp tension control systems.
We have been developing, manufacturing and installing innovative solutions for improving productivity, efficiency and quality since 2003 – always closely matching the requirements of our customers.
Our expertise is continuously expanding, thanks to strategic partnerships with top technology providers – assuring a
strong foundation for the success of our solutions.
High-performance weaving with minimum faults can only be achieved with optimum warp feeding.
Both warp supply options – beams or creels – present the same challenges to weavers:
— Maintaining constant warp tension
— Reducing warp thread breaks
Warp tension is one of the most important factors in weaving. It must be kept constant, from full to empty beam – and the same applies to weaving from creels.
In both cases, warp tension that is too high or too low can cause thread breaks, damaging weaving behavior and efficiency.
Electronic warp feeding systems solve the problem, keeping tension balanced at the right levels.
This reduces machine load and increases both performance and fabric quality.
CREALET technology allows several warp beams to be combined in an innovative solution which increases productivity by reducing the frequency of warp run-outs and standstills.
The system comprises a number of separate warp beam frames, arranged behind the weaving machine, each able to accommodate large-size warps.
CREALET’s smart control system quickly and accurately maintains warp tension across all the beams.
SELVEDGE THREAD LET-OFF
Designed for perfectly adjusted selvedge thread tension control. The tensioning arm measures the selvedge tension and keeps it constant from a full to an empty spool.
Individual tension control for the selvedge and the warp beam, may result in a better running efficiency, better fabric quality and a reduction in loom parts consumption, as the overall warp tension can often be reduced.
UKAST 508 WARP LET-OFF
Designed for perfectly adjusted warp tension control. It keeps the warp tension constant from a full to an empty warp beam. The tension is measured with a linear sensor on the back rest roller of the loom.
WARP THREAD FEEDING SYSTEMS FOR NARROW MACHINES
Various tension control systems for narrow weaving machines are available in form of a narrow delivery unit / driven roller or a complete let-off for narrow looms. Solutions are typically individually designed for the application.
WARP FEEDING DEVICE / DELIVERY UNIT
This device is used in combination with a package creel. The delivery unit feeds the yarn from the creel to the weaving machine by keeping a constant tension. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including in carbon weaving.
BEAM STAND AND WARP BEAM IN HIGH POSITION
Crealet offers a complete upper beam stand including electronic let-off for existing looms for most brands and types. They also offer additional beam stands sitting on the floor for weaving with multiple beams on wide and / or narrow looms.
The ECR warp let-off system for ribbon weaving machines
On ribbon weaving machines, rope brakes with springs or weights are often used to regulate the warp tension. However, as the winding diameter of the warp beam decreases, manual readjustment is required. With such systems, constant warp tension is not guaranteed and unnecessary labour is required.
These negative characteristics can be eliminated by using the ECR system.
