Textile industry

The Textile / synthetic fiber industry presents a significant challenge to materials engineering. The efficiency of an operation depends, to a large extent, on how well the key components that make contact with the fibers/threads resist wear and tear. Fillers are increasingly used to obtain improved thread properties, resulting in higher wear on production components. Application of thermal sprayed coatings results in considerably longer and more uniform service life of these components., Maintenance and service will be more cost-effective and easier to schedule.

Typical thermal sprayed components in the Textile industry:

• Spinning rolls
• Grooved rolls
• Swivel guide bars
• Thread guides
• Yarn guiding rolls
• Driving rollers
• Guiders
• Parallelize rolls
• Idler rollers
• Stretch rollers
