MSF 3 - Storage feeder

Application

The MSF 3 Storage Feeder has a stationary winding body and a yarn winding transport system. It has been designed for the feeding of yarn at constant and variable feed rates to knitting and hosiery machines.
A yarn winding transport system within the stationary winding body ensures the continuous movement and separation of the yarn windings over the winding body, to provide a continuously wound perfect yarn store. The newly developed, patented magnetic tensioner ensures a constant yarn tension at the outlet, with step less tension adjustment. The unit is driven by a powerful brushless DC motor with microprocessor control. The new developed sensor system monitors and calculates the average yarn consumption rate and adjusts the motor speed accordingly.

Main features

• Higher machine efficiency, fewer fabric faults
• Yarn monitoring and control with contactless sensors on the spool body
• 1 mm yarn separation prevents snagging from adjacent yarn windings during unwinding
