We are actively engaged in offering a wide range of Crimp &Shrinkage Test Machine. The offered product is designed using high grade raw material and latest technology with set universal standards.

For testing of textured yarns, the crimp contraction test procedure according to German standard DIN 53 840 or the European standard EN 14 621 is nowadays finding worldwide application in industrial quality control as well as for R&D purposes. A similar method is used to determine crimp parameters according to ASTM D 4031. This test procedure has been designed for yarns up to 500 dtex. It uses yarn hanks with an overall count of approx. 2500 dtex, the hanks being
subjected to various loads during testing and their length measured at each stage. For optimum development of the yarn crimp, the yarn hanks are subjected to a thermal treatment prior to test start.

The crimp contraction testing of textured carpet yarns (BCF), which characteristically have relatively high yarn counts, is a special case. For this application, yarn hanks with only one wrap, i.e. a yarn loop, can be used for testing in a special magazine for testing carpet yarns.

The determination of the ANY type of yarn shrinkage, due to
hot air or  boiling water treatment, is a further test method for textured yarns and other yarn types, e.g. according to DIN 53 866, EN 14 621 or ASTM D 2259.

The TEXTURMAT ME+ is equipped with a removable 30-position magazine, within which the suspended yarn hanks are pre-loaded with weights. Special magazines are also available for testing BCF yarns.

A heating cabinet with the appropriate innerdimensions to accommodate the TEXTURMAT magazine loaded with hanks is available as a TEXTURMAT ME+ accessory. The control range of the heating cabinet enables a full range of temperature settings necessary for crimp development and the inducement of shrinkage. Should crimp development or the inducement of shrinkage in hot water be required instead of hot-air treatment, a hot water container can be fitted that can also accommodate one magazine. The container is equipped with a jib crane, incorporating an electrically operated chain hoist, with which the magazine can be lowered and raised in and out of the water bath.

The UHL spinneret inspection microscopes are based on a modular system to be flexible for customer specific modifications and to simplify the maintainance. The PM4, PR5 and PR7 inspection microscopes are having the unique feature to inspect the capilliary and the counterbore simultaneously or alternatively without touching or moving the spinneret.
The counterbore tube uses a special optic with integrated ring illumination in the lens. 


A fully automatic spinneret inspection can be done with the IMS-Spin software in combination with all UHL inspection microscopes (IMS means interactive measurement software).
The spinneret is moved hole by hole into the video image and an automatic dirt detection is performed by measuring the capilliary surface and additional geometric parameters.

In case of hole dirtyness, it can be cleaned directly with an optional blowing station by compressed air. After the cleaning, the capilliary is checked again. IMS-Spin uses the same tutor for spinneret geometry definitions as IMS-SpinLight.

IMS-Spin has the possibility to assign multiple spinnerets on the stage for the inspection in one stroke without any operator action during the inspection. Each spinneret can be assigned to a specific position on the holder plate by drag & drop on a drawing of the holder plate. Each spinneret has a unique number to store all available inspection an measurement data in a history.

For semi- and fully automatic spinneret inspection of round and rectangular spinnerets, even in high quantities, the PR4 microscope is availiable. The size of the spinnerets can be up to 250 x 200 mm.
Possible options:
- Blowing device for cleaning with compressed air
- Special ring light optic to illuminate the counterbore sink
Alternatively a motorized turret to change the magnifications by
software (as shown in the images) can be used.
Suitable for flat (2D) or cap / pot type spinnerets.

Precise, with roll bearings manufactured axises. The drives consists of grinded ball screw spindles with no backlash and stepper motors or wear-free linear drives. The entire construction is designed for rough daily usage.
- X/Y range of movement: 250 x 200 mm
- Z-focus range: 50 mm
- Positioning repeatablility: 5μm
- Modular built up tube with infinite path of rays.
- Bayonet socket for the lenses to change the magnification fast and easily.
- Fibre optic for incident and transmitted light with LED cold light source (PC remote controlled).
- High quality 2:1, 5:1, 10:1 and 20:1 lenses with long working distance for capilliary diameters from 0.050 mm to 1.0 mm

For determining the number of interlacing points Textechno has developed the ITEMAT+ as the successor of the well-known ITEMAT by Enka tecnica after taking over all rights on this instrument. While the basic principle was kept the same drives and electronics have been replaced by state-of-the-art technology and the mechanical interlace sensor has been completely re-designed to serve a larger linear-density at better reproducibility. An optical sensor is now available as a good alternative to the mechanical sensor for textured yarn.

The tester is equipped with either a mechanical sensor or optical sensor. The ITEMAT+ scanning head consists of two ceramic pins, one of which is stationary and the other is movable. The movable pin is pressed against the other with a well-defined and switchable pressure. The yarn passes between these two pins at constant speed. In the absence of an interlace the pin will compress the yarn. When encountering an interlacing point, the movable pin will be deflected, which is transformed into an electric signal. The optical principle, here the yarn passes a
special light barrier, which detects the differences in light transmission between a non-interlaced section and an interlace point. The input yarn tension is maintained via motor and one force sensor checks the force at which the interlaces are being openend.

Works for POY, FDY, FOY, LOY, DTY, ATY, ACY yarns. Provides Nips per meter, distance between two nips, nips stability at various draw (elongation) and force required to open weak nips.

Automatic Tensile Tester for High Tenacity Yarn, Statimat 4U

Automatic tensile tests on yarns with high linear density/no of filaments and high breaking strength demand special requirements regarding clamps, measuring system, sample waste disposal, and mechanical stability of the testing equipment. This particularly applies to technical yarns comprising high-tenacity polymers such as Aramid or UHMWPE.

Moreover, for untwisted technical filament yarns, there is a demand to insert a certain amount of twist into the yarn prior to the tensile test. Compared with tests carried out on untwisted yarns, this method has the following advantages:

- Better definition of the test and lower deviations for breaking-force, elongation at break and work to rupture: During the testing of an untwisted multi-filament yarn, usually filament breaks occur one after another, whereas a twisted multi-filament yarn will break suddenly.

- Close-to-practice tests: For most technical yarn applications, the yarn is twisted before being processed and subjected to use in its
application.

- Standardized test method: Various standards recommend or require tensile tests on technical yarns to be carried out after twist insertion, e.g. ASTM D 885, Note 9, ASTM D 2256, BISFA
standards for Polyester- and Polyamide filament yarns, ISO 2062.

Both the mechanical construction of the equipment and its force-measuring range are suitable for maximum forces up to 5000 N. It is equipped with patented bollards located at both clamps (force-reduction cams), which automatically swing in. The clamps are characterised by their outstanding clamping effect. A patented automatic rotary clamp, which is integrated into the test section, inserts twist or changes the twist level prior to commencement of the tensile test.

A further and innovative function of the automatic rotary clamp is the optional automatic determination of the yarn twist. In addition to the classical automatic twist test on spun yarn according to the un- and re-twisting method, filament- and plied yarns can now be tested in fully automatic way, too, under certain conditions. The test method can be combined with automatic tensile and / or count testing for maximum testing efficiency.

New fields of automatic tensile testing have been opened by the development of a mechanical clearing of the yarn remnants after breakage. With this feature the STATIMAT 4U allows fully-automatic tensile tests of monofilaments with diameters up
to 1 mm, sticky and very coarse yarns, e.g. waxed sewing threads, as well as narrow tapes, split yarns, etc. for the production of artificial grass.

Draw Force, Shrinkage Force, Crimp Force Tester - Dynafil

In 1973, Textechno supplied the first DYNAFIL testers, thus laying the foundation for a new era in thermomechanical testing on running yarn. Since then, this test method has constantly and strongly increased its share of the quality control methods applied to synthetic filament yarns.

The DYNAFIL was initially developed for testing textured yarns but, at a later stage, also proved to be a breakthrough in the testing of POY for quality assurance purposes in the spinning of filament yarn.

To-date, the most important application areas for thermomechanical tests on running yarns are:
– Draw-force tests on undrawn, pre-orientated or fully-drawn yarns;
– Crimp or crimp-force tests on textured yarns; as well as
– Shrinkage or shrinkage-force tests on all yarn types.

Apart from a substantial increase in output, the DYNAFIL ME is also characterised by a high degree of automation and is especially user friendly. Moreover, it opens completely new areas of application for filament yarn testing.

In addition to the actual DYNAFIL testing methods, the application areas of the equipment can be substantially broadened to include friction measurements, entanglement tests, broken filament tests, yarn evenness tests and yarn count measurements using additional modules.

Testing methods
– Draw-force testing of pre-oriented yarns (POY), e.g. according to ASTM D 5344 – 99, or of fully-drawn yarns (FOY, FDY);
– Crimp testing of textured yarns (DTY, ATY, BCF);
– Shrinkage testing of all types of yarns;
– Static shrinkage-, relaxation- or creep measurements;

Additional modules
Friction device:
– With ceramic- or stainless steel friction bodies (other materials/surfaces on request);
– Choice between three different, automatically adjustable wrap angles.

Entanglement sensor:
– Optical determination of yarn diameter;
– Fully automatic adjustment to the yarn count;
– Adjustment to existing value levels via adjustable threshold value;
– Max. test speed 1000 m/min;
– Measuring heads for fine and medium count yarns (up to 2500 dtex) and coarse yarns (over 2500 dtex).

Broken filament sensor:
– Optical sensing of filaments protruding from the yarn core;
– Max. test speed 1000 m/min.

Package changer:
– Automatic change by splicing the running yarn;
– Model SE for 20 yarn ends;
– Model SM for 2 yarn ends.
