Hank Reeling and Yarn Conditioning Machines
topic
Hank reeling machines wind defined yarn lengths of 100 to 1000 metres onto reeling swifts of defined circumference to produce hanks of defined mass for dye house package dyeing in open width, with hank weight measurement and marking enabling traceability, while autoclave or steam conditioning units treat wound packages at elevated temperature and humidity to set twist and relieve residual spinning tensions in ring and rotor spun yarns.
Role
Produces the hank yarn packages required for exhaust hank dyeing of premium yarns in wool, cashmere, and cotton markets where hank dyeing achieves superior colour depth and levelness compared to package dyeing, while conditioning treatment after winding stabilises yarn dimensions and reduces the snarling tendency from residual twist liveliness that causes knitting machine handling problems.
