Braiders with individual drive

Special braiding machines in horizontal design suitable for composite industry using special yarns and roving e.g. glass roving, ceramic yarns, glass and carbon roving, aramids and various other high tech yarns.

Individually driven braiders for manufacturing of:

Maritime purposes: Multipurpose ropes and cards.
Leisure sporting articles: Sport boat ropes, all kind spiral ropes, mountain climbing and static safety ropes, elastic ropes made out of composite yarns (e.g. tennis-rackets)
Aviation: Parachute lines and elastic catapulting ropes.
Automotive industry: Towing ropes and hydraulic hoses.
Electro-technical purposes: Glass fibre or chemical linings.
Braids and laces for the apparel, home furnishing and ornamental industry.
– also machines with reversing carries –

These are heavy duty braiders used in the medical wire and composite industry. These braiders are available in vertical, horizontal or inverted design.
