MODRA CreelMT

The smart alternative to the traditional fixed creel. CreelMT is an automated yarn creeling system for tufted carpet machines that winds yarn to the length required for each needle position and uses robotic package handlers to place the yarn package into a mobile creel trolley. To remain relevant in the global tufting industry, it is increasingly important to focus on the automation of various labor-intensive processes. In this context, CreelMT clearly stands out.

Automation aimed at reducing labor requirements—while simultaneously and significantly minimizing yarn waste—is vital to the future vision of the tufting industry. By precisely winding carpet yarn and supplying an exact, position-specific quantity of yarn for each production order, a high level of process control is achieved. In combination with mobile creel trolleys that can be beam-spliced directly to the tufting machine, changeover and splice-over times are drastically reduced. This enables highly efficient production of three-dimensional carpets on machines with individual yarn control. As a result, a substantial increase in the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of the tufting machine can be realized.
