Spread and stabilize edges
THE TASK
HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH LESS WASTE
To ensure trouble-free production, the edges of knitted fabrics, which tend to curl, must be stripped without creases and with constant tension. No marks must be visible on the fabric. Another challenge is to stabilize the edges with a glue application. The glue must be applied at a minimum distance from the fabric edge to prevent excessive trimming or the fabric edge curling up again or the cut being made next to the glue if the glue is applied too far away. The needle chain must not be soiled by glue.
Fabric edges must be guided gently, smoothly and without distortion, with low surface friction and in a direct line into the following unit.
THE SOLUTION
CREASE-FREE SPREADING AND PRECISE GLUING
WEKO-Spread-it reliably strips the web, e.g. at the infeed of the stenter frame, without creases and thus ensures trouble-free running under constant tension. WEKO-Glue-it reliably glues the edges and thus ensures a loss-free cut. With these systems, the user achieves maximum efficiency in his work processes. These systems can be flexibly and easily integrated into new or existing lines.
**THE REALIZATION
TEXTILE MACHINES NEED WEKO-Spread-it AND WEKO-Glue-it
The WEKO-Spread-it and the WEKO-Glue-it have been specially developed for modern textile production lines. Both are characterized by extremely convenient installation and handling.
