Groz-Beckert, offering advanced textile technologies and solutions, has made a great innovation by developing RONDOFIL and Jacquard healds as one single wire, which are usually made of two wires. Single-wire healds are REACH-compliant, which shows that they help to meet compliance requirements with regard to the use of chemical substances, take their place under the name of ‘Mono-wire’ in the company’s wide product range, offering more environmentally friendly applications. Its surface has been developed to be gentle on warp threads, allowing it to obtain high-quality fabrics produced with maximum efficiency.
Ideal surface even with very fine and delicate warp yarns with Groz Beckert mono wire healds
As one of the core components of the weaving process, healds have great importance in woven fabric production. Groz-Beckert has lots of different healds for a wide variety of applications in its range and RONDOFIL and Jacquard healds, which are usually made of two wires, are among them. The company develops these innovatively and manufactures them from a single wire, ensuring that these innovations improve the weaving process and that its environmental impact is reduced.
Since both Groz-Beckert RONDOFIL healds and Groz-Beckert Jacquard healds are made from a single wire, they both provide a perfect surface for even the finest and most delicate warp threads. The surface quality of mono-wire healds is also advantageous for very high row densities of warp threads, enabling high-quality fabrics produced with maximum efficiency as a result. These resource-saving wires made from stainless steel offer the highest production accuracy and besides, the special size options for the user’s needs are also available.
Groz-Beckert ‘Mono-wire’ single-wire healds offer a more environmentally friendly process
The mono-wire healds from Groz-Beckert get their strength by the fact that their thread eye, also known as mail eye, is not twisted-in and soldered, but glued. Compared to the use of twin wire healds, the thread surface is therefore protected even more and damages to the warp yarn due to material fatigue and corrosion are prevented. Another advantage of not containing lead solder in their production is enabling the healds to be more environmentally friendly. Precautions that are required when handling SVHC lead, such as special skin protection, are therefore not necessary.
