Slack & Parr were the original designers of precision gear pumps for metered spin finish, and have over 30 years application experience.
The proven advantages are:
- Reduction in finish variation
- Reduction in bacterial growth problems
- Improved spin finish take up
- Increased yarn spinning speeds
- Reduced yarn breakage
- Improved conversion efficiency
- Improved dye-affinity
- Improved downstream processing efficiency
The metered application of spin finish to yarns shows dramatic reductions in finish variation on yarn. Development of pumps and applicators is such that it is now possible to reduce variations to ±2% with the correct system installed.
Slack & Parr spin finish metering pumps cover various capacities from 0.017 cc/rev to 2.920 cc/rev. These can be supplied with 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24 outlets, depending on the capacity.
