Groove Engineering

Why U Groove for Your Yarn Count Target

The U Groove is engineered for cotton and general-purpose blends across medium to coarse counts.

U Groove — Applicable Yarn Count Range

For fine counts (Ne 30+), consider the G or T groove.

U Groove — Precision Fibre Control for Target Yarn

The U Groove geometry creates a controlled deposition zone inside the rotor, ensuring cotton and general-purpose blends across medium to coarse counts are uniformly distributed and twisted.

Optimized for Ne 10–30

The U Groove’s geometry is calibrated for cotton and general-purpose blends across medium to coarse counts.

Consistent Yarn Evenness

Stable fibre deposition zone produces CV% values consistently below Uster 25% benchmarks.

Reduced End Breakage

Optimized twist propagation path reduces spinning tension peaks.

Self-Cleaning Geometry

The groove’s parabolic cross-section prevents micro-dust accumulation.

Surface Engineering

BD Boronized vs. DN Diamond Coating

Both coatings available from our in-house treatment line.

BD — Boronized
Current model · Standard coating
HV 1600–2000
Cost-effectiveStandard cottonUp to 100K rpm

Thermochemical diffusion process forms a hard boride layer on the substrate. Excellent wear resistance at a competitive price.

DN — Diamond
Premium upgrade · Available on request
HV 1000-1200
3–5× longer lifeAbrasive fibres110K+ rpm

CVD diamond-like carbon coating delivering extreme surface hardness for abrasive fibres and high-speed production.
