Feed systems
Godet feed unit
The single driven godet feed unit as being used in G1, G2
and G2x has been derived as a principle from POY spinning.
It has been introduced by Oerlikon Barmag in DTY machines
in 2003. Optimized for the DTY process, it quickly convinced
where highest requirements for yarn processing were key.
The stress-free yarn transport offers advantages for both
sides of the product spectrum.
When producing fi ne denier products with high number of
fi laments, it ensures higher yarn quality and extended yarn
evenness over time. Friction-intensive products such as full
dull or spun dyed, that usually quickly wear down those
components they are in contact with, are processed with
greater effi ciency and at lower production costs. This is
fi rstly due to non-existent slippage and secondly due to the
godet itself, which makes additional yarn-guiding elements
or wear-reducing components such as yarn displacement in
the yarn path, superfl uous.
Other general advantages of godets include higher
consistency over process time and from position to position
as well as potentially lower energy consumption. By using
godets energy savings of up to 5% can be achieved.

Shaft feed unit
The centrally driven shaft feed system at W3 fulfi lls all
the basic requirements for processing even delicate
products from all kind of polymers. Yarn feed takes place
in conjunction with nip rollers or – if required – aprons. For
easy handling and maintenance, nip rollers are equipped
with intermediate stop as well as quick release.
With selection of latest materials the lifetime of coats are
improved, which
– infl uences maintenance cycles positively
– reduces down time
– increases machine effi ciency
The feed unit W3 is standardly equipped with a yarn
displacement system to reduce wear on coats.
