Spindle Tapes

ELGiTEX spindle tapes have been serving the yarn processing industry since 1985. These tapes are designed with distinct technologies, each unique to specific applications. The key functions of these spindle tapes help maintain consistent yarn quality. As an alternative to tangential belt drives, spindle tapes are used in the textile industry for driving spindles on ring spinning and twisting machines. The spindle tape makes contact with the whirls with an arc of at least 90 degrees.

Polyamide Tape Type

ELGiTEX STP tapes are engineered for optimal performance. Manufactured using the advanced Caprobond technology, these tapes are versatile, designed to suit a wide range of spindle speeds. Consistent spindle speeds are maintained throughout the tape's lifespan due to minimal changes in jockey pulley movement and optimal slip from ABS pulley to spindle wharve.

Key Features

  • Improved rubber surface: The rubber side surface finish is crafted through a robust finishing process.
  • Better abrasion resistance: Special NBR rubber offers superior wear resistance during use.
  • Higher strength reinforcement: Reinforcement fabric made from high-quality yarns provides excellent strength.
  • Improved flexibility: The combination of rubber and reinforced fabric offers enhanced flexibility.

Performance Benefits:

Inspired by Formula 1 tires, which are grooved to provide a firm grip, ELGiTEX STG tapes feature PneumaFlush action that expels air from the surface, ensuring firm grip and optimum slip on high-speed spinning machines. PneumaFlush has led to the creation of revolutionary grooved spindle tapes.

Key Features

  • Grooved rubber surface: The rubber side surface is finished with grooved rubber, designed to flush out air from the surface for optimal grip.
  • Patented grooved technology (Patent No. 222477)
  • Better abrasion resistance: Special NBR rubber provides enhanced wear resistance during use.
  • Higher strength reinforcement: Reinforcement fabric, made of high-quality yarns, offers excellent strength.
  • Improved flexibility: The combination of rubber and reinforced fabric offers improved flexibility.

ELGiTEX has developed a new spindle tape, Hybrid 2.0, designed based on customer feedback seeking a power-saving lap-joint tape similar to Polyurethane (PU) tapes. Unlike the PU tapes, which have a finger joint, Hybrid 2.0 uses a lap joint while offering the same power savings. This innovative spindle tape is crafted to reduce yarn spinning conversion costs, thereby increasing profits without any additional investment. Hybrid 2.0 is meticulously designed to handle all working conditions in yarn spinning, with breakthrough technology ensuring optimal performance.

Energy consumption has become a critical concern in the textile industry. With the advent of high-speed machines, power requirements have surged. Ring frames account for about 50-60% of total energy consumption, and 33% of this energy is used for driving spindles via spindle tapes. ELGiTEX’s innovative technology has led to the creation of the EFX spindle tape, which ensures optimal slip from the pulley to the spindle.

Spindle Tape XT

With the increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions in high-speed spinning machines, energy consumption has become a major factor. Around 50-60% of the total energy used by ring frames goes toward driving the spindles. Spindle Tape XT is designed to conserve energy and extend service life, lasting up to 18 months. Building on the success of the ELGiTEX GX Grooved spindle tapes, Spindle Tape XT continues to save energy while offering longer durability, further solidifying ELGiTEX's commitment to providing advanced solutions for its customers.

Key Features

  • Higher Spindle Speeds: XT spindle speeds ensure lasting energy and yarn quality.
  • Higher Tape Strength: XT’s higher tape strength ensures extended service life.
  • Tape Strength Retention: XT’s strength retention reduces replacements and tape cuts.
  • Change in Jockey Pulley Centre Distance: XT ensures uniform JPCD for consistent spindle speeds.
  • Higher Joint strength: XT’s superior strength ensures longer tape life.
