Tow Crimpers

The CL-05 tow crimper produces crimped fiber used in multiple different textile processes. It is a vertical flow stuffing box crimper with stuffing box widths that can be configured from 6mm [1/4”] to 13mm [1/2”]. The CL-05 has a capacity of 30,000 – 90,000d [9ktex], is self-contained, and is easy to work on as all the components and adjustments are readily accessible.  All CL-05 crimper components are integrated into the freestanding unit, so it is ready to process tow when it arrives. This model is designed for light staple fiber production requirements.  The CL-05 is really best suited as a sample crimper.  It mates very well within size and speed to the 20 Series cutter for staple samples. In fact, we’ve sold several paired this way. The CL-05 is designed to provide quality crimped fiber a few pounds at a time. For bigger jobs, consider the CL-21.

The CL-21 tow crimper is the workhorse crimper model that is ideal for small to medium production lines. It is designed to provide continuous service, with the capacity of up to 500,000 denier [55 ktex] and speeds up to 450 meters per minute. The versatility of this model makes it a good fit for a variety of applications. The CL-21 is a horizontal flow stuffing box tow crimper with a broad range of box geometry and a vast options list. The swing-open stuffing box provides high-speed thread-up and uncomplicated maintenance. The CL-21 is available in widths from 13mm [1/2”] to 50mm [2”].

When paired with the optional DS-20 Dancer stand, also available from DM&E, tension control for the tow is optimal. The CL-21 has a removable crimper head, allowing for adjustment or refurbishment on a workbench and then replacing it to the crimper frame. It can handle light to medium manufacturing requirements, and its compact size makes it a good fit for lines where space is limited. Like the CL-05, the CL-21 integrates well with a DM&E tow cutter. It is compatible with the 40 Series cutter, to provide an effective crimp cut system designed for continual operation.

DM&E’s largest capacity crimper, the WA tow crimper, can process tow with widths from 50mm [2”] to 125mm [5”], at speeds up to 250 meters per minute. With its various improvements and refinements, the WA crimper provides increased dependability and easier maintenance. This model is a cost-effective alternative for higher-capacity applications.

The WA tow crimper stuffing box has a horizontal operating direction and can be paired with DM&E’s WA Dancer stand to provide ideal crimping performance. Among the options for the WA crimper are liquid-cooled rolls and steam injection in the stuffing box. This crimper can also be coupled with a DM&E tow cutter, for a complete crimp cut system.
