| Crimping: |
Powered by an invester-controlled,
energy efficient AC motor, the WA Tow Crimper processes a variety of synthetic fiber tows
at speeds up to 400 meters per minute. The tow band passes through a pair of
pneumatically loaded, hardened, stainless steel rolls into a stainless steel stuffing box
where the crimp is formed. Roll pressure is fully adjustable. Dual tapered
roller bearings support each end of the rolls. Pneumatically loaded cheek plates
guide the filaments into the stuffing box. |
| Stuffing Box: |
The WA Crimper utilizes a fixed
doctor blade and a pivoting bottom doctor blade. Both doctor blades have replaceable
blade tips. The bottom doctor blade is actuated by a diaphragm cylinder and
sensitive regulator to precisely control crimp level. |
| Drive System: |
A heavy-duty gearbox transfers
power from the motor to the rolls. The gearbox attaches to the upper roll by a
powerful jaw coupling and to the lower roll by a rugged, double universal joint with a
sliding spline shaft. |
| Configuration: |
A rectangular-tubing frame provides
the stability and support for the crimper head assembly. |
| Options: |
Choose from numerous options to
configure the WA Crimper to your precise needs; from steam in the stuffing box to internal
roll cooling. A dancer is available for complete integration into the line.
