Does Conventional Yarn Fail to Meet Your Requirements?

Are standard yarns proving too delicate, or are the spool sizes incompatible with your production setup?

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd offers access to state-of-the-art plying, twisting, and winding machinery, enabling us to create custom-engineered yarns that precisely match your technical needs. Whether you're seeking greater durability, specific spool formats, or innovative fibre blends, we have the capability to deliver.

Plying: Increase Strength and Adjust Yarn Diameter

Is your yarn too fine or lacking in mechanical strength? Plying combines multiple yarns into a thicker and stronger fibre bundle. Our systems can ply up to 20 yarns simultaneously, aligning them in parallel before proceeding to twisting.

We specialise in hybrid yarns—blending monofilament and spun yarns to produce multifilament structures tailored for demanding applications.

Twisting: Delivering Cohesion and Performance

Twisting provides cohesion to the fibre bundle, increasing durability and protecting it from abrasion. The twist is measured in turns per metre and classified as:

• S-twist – clockwise
• Z-twist – counter-clockwise

Types of twisted yarn include:

• Over-twisted yarns
• Folded yarns
• Cabled and over-cabled yarns

To avoid instability from over-twisting, we offer heat-setting treatments for structure stabilisation. Our carbon-fibre workshop delivers advanced plying and twisting solutions with enhanced mechanical properties.

Winding: The Perfect Finish

Winding is a key finishing operation. We provide precision cross-winding for high-speed production, offering consistent tension and reliable unwinding.

We support various formats including cones, king spools, cylindrical tubes, and flanged bobbins. For prototypes or trials, we can tailor winding quantities to reduce waste and meet specific needs.

Equipment That Ensures Excellence

Plying and twisting operations are powered by advanced machines, delivering superior quality and repeatability from prototyping to full-scale manufacturing.

Your Yarn. Your Way.

From customised fibre blends to exact spool dimensions, Textile Technologies Europe Ltd offers a full technical yarn transformation service. No requirement is too small, too complex, or too unique.

Let us help you redefine what's possible with technical yarns made from glass, carbon, high tenacity polyester, high tenacity polypropylene, basalt, HMPE, Alumina, Belcotex 110 and more.
