Recently, Paper Machine Clothing manufacturers
and Paper manufacturers are now paying very close
attention to a new fabric product weaved with flat yarn.
Su
These type of fabrics are the new tendencies in
regards with PMC fabrics. For different reasons such as :
- improved paper quality
- reduced fabric manufacturing time
- increased fabric performance

RGI is proud to contribute to the success of this
new technology by bringing on the market it's brand new
flat weft feeding device the OFS CREEL.
Our feeding device has been fully in house tested
and has been proven to be efficient with slow or high
speed looms without any modification to the loom.
The OFS Creel system is suitable for use with gripper shuttle, projectile or rapier
gripper system looms.
With one unit per loom you can expect to weave flat yarn without adding twist,
up to over 100 picks per minute.
Our unique approach based on dynamic unwinding speed of yarn, relieves the
operator from complex mechanical adjustments and parameters setting to match the
OFS Creel with loom size, speed and length.
Setup time for flat yar n weaving achieved in minutes.
Quick threading within few seconds
made easy in 4 steps only
Press the auto-threading
cycle button (up motion)
Push the yarn hook
through the accumulator.
Pull the yarn
using the hook.
Press again the auto-threading
cycle button (down motion).
5 seconds later you are ready to weave.
Our easy to use operator
interface allows the operator to
experiment various unwinding cycle
without the need to perform any
mechanical modification.
Our design does increase reliability
and reduce mechanical maintenance
to a minimum level.
As for all of our latest
development products, most
of the mechanical parts
were eliminated by using
state of the art automation
technologies.
Advantages and specifications of our OFS CREEL:
● Easy to use.
● Easy and quick threading.
● Easy configuration via the operator interface.
● Can be used with round or flat weft.
Now only one type of unwinding system is required
for round and flat yarn, preventing lost of time during
new fabric set up.
● Very rapid configuration of weaving parameters.
● Diagnostic system integrated in the operator’s interface.
● Follow up for preventive maintenance made easy with
an hour and a pick counter.
● All sensors can be fully calibrated in less than 5 minutes.
● Can be used with any type of loom, without any
loom interface wiring requirement.
● Works equally well with old looms or modern looms.
● Works with 5 kg, 10 kg or 15 kg bobbins.
● Maximum linear speed of thread = 25m/sec
(as an exemple: a 6 to 8 meters width loom weaving at
42 picks/min., requires linear speed to be maximum 6 m/sec.)
● Length of thread in the accumulator = 15 m.
● Maintenance is reduce to a minimum.
Modular mechanical concept allows quick and
complete maintenance.
Be competitive in the flat yar n fabric market
by using our specially designed creel unit
for dr yer and for ming fabrics.
RGI (2001) Industrial Products Inc. was founded in 1979. Originally, RGI was a machine
shop dedicated to spare parts for paper machine clothing manufacturers, supplying the paper
industry.
The growing interest for our products required that we increase our manufacturing
capacity. In 1989, RGI committed itself to CAD-CAM manufacturing in order to improve quality
and delivery.
Today, RGI develops and fabricates electronic, mechanical and automated products for
the transport, manufacturing industries, and mainly for paper machine clothing
manufacturers.
