The Essential Role of Yarn Tension Control
Consistent yarn tension prevents fabric defects like horizontal stripes, uneven loop structures, and yarn breaks.
Feeder Types & Applications
-
Positive Feeder (MPF/UPF): Driven by drive belts; feeds yarn at a fixed rate. Best for plain single/double jersey fabrics.
-
Storage / Semi-Passive Feeder (APF20-T7/DPF): Buffers yarn continuously; ideal for jacquard or variable-consumption knitting.
-
Electronic / Passive Feeder (SF-3/SJFB3-4D): Uses real-time sensors for rapid tension adjustments during high-speed jacquard color changes.
