	TOW CRIMPING

DM&E began with tow cutters. As we developed our relationships with the fiber manufacturers we applied our engineering and process expertise to tow crimpers. DM&E has divided its effort into two directions. First, we manufacture small to medium size crimpers for processing tow from 30,000 d [33 ktext] to 1,500,000 d [151 ktex].

Second, Neumag and Fleissner manufacture excellent examples of larger tow crimpers. DM&E is committed to assist owners of larger crimpers in maintaining high standards and superior production. Rather than compete we have chosen to repair and rebuild these larger crimpers. Click here for details on crimper repair and rebuilding at DM&E.
