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.
