KNOTTERS AND SPLICERS

Splicers
The "Splicer" is a pneumatic device joining two yarn ends by mingling of the fibres composing the yarn, resulting in continuity of the yarn itself and giving remarkable benefits in quality and distinct advantages in all subsequent stages of manufacture.
MESDAN have developed a versatile range of "Splicers" in both manual and automatic versions capable of joining yarns which may differ in fibre nature, spinning method, count and torsion. (e.g.: continuous filament, single and twisted spun yarns, open-end, compact and elastomeric varieties.

Splicers which mingle the two yarn ends using compressed air only are particularly suitable to join wool and synthetic yarns are marketed as "Jointair"
Splicers which use water in addition to compressed air are most suitable to join hygroscopic yarns such as cotton and linen, these are marketed as "Aquasplicer".

Both Jointair and Aquasplicer are available in the automatic version for the direct installation on new winding machines, and in a hand operated version for installation together with the Air Track Supply (A.T.S.) system on all textile machines such as assembly winders, twisting machines, manual winders, warping machines and on the creels for knitting together with weft creels in the weaving mills for tail-to-top transfer operations.

Knotters
In spite of the ever growing demand for knot-free joining technology MESDAN continues to manufacture a complete range of knotting devices in both manual and automatic versions, embracing the three principal knot configurations, Winders,Weavers and Fishermans. These knotters still represent the only mean to join in a safe and repeatable way monofilaments, bonded yarns or any yarn which cannot be opened into fibres due to their finishing.

Our line of splicers and knotters stands out for the exclusive MESDAN technology, top quality materials and latest production techniques ensuring a great reliability of performances independently by operator's ability.
