Karl Mayer's third generation warp-drawing unit consists of a yarn package creel, an HP or HPR warp drawing aggregate with entangling device, and a direct beamer or warping machine. Maximum production speed is 1,000 meters per minute. The entangling device allows for direct beaming or warpting without the need for sizing. The three-phase motor is virtually maintenance free. The warp-drawing aggregate is available in two versions. The HP version is for the standard drawing of polyester filament yarns. The HPR verison is for drawing polyester and nylon filament yarns. Depending on the range of applications, the warp-drawing units can be equipped with a rotating frame creel or a mobile creel. An automatic yarn cutting device can be supplied with both models.
