FIBERGLASS YARNS ON BEAM

Continuous filament yarns can also be provided as beamed yarns. Beaming is an operation in which a defined number of parallel ends on single yarns from a creel, is combined and wound with tension on a section beam or on a warp beam.

The beaming process avoids the need for creeling of many individual yarn bobbins. Beams are used in weaving or similar processing operations like laid scrim, knitting, narrow fabric (tapes).

Generally, Vetrotex uses its own section beams (beaming width 138cm) to process its single yarns. Empty beams can also be supplied by the customer if different dimensions are requested.

Beams are delivered based on specific customer requirements, like yarn type, number of ends, beam length and number of beams per set. The available range of end counts is from 150 to max 800 ends for section beams and up to max 1350 ends for warp beams. Nominal length per beam type is depending on the maximum weight of beams and the nominal length of the input yarn.
