The textiles manufacturing industry offers various challenges to machine designers, especially in mechanical power transmission. Almost every part of the textile manufacturing process utilises gearboxes of some description.
The textile manufacturing process encompasses many individual activities:
In addition to the standard textile machines for spinning, knitting, and weaving, other textile preparation machinery includes:
Many processes in the textile manufacturing industry have a high starting torque, which must be considered in the selection of mechanical transmission components. As a result, a high proportion of gearboxes are of the planetary design, which is suited to such high loads.
Wormboxes and bevel-helical motor drives are used for the majority of applications where constant speeds and torques are the operational normal. They provide a good balance between torque capacity and price, and are used as standard equipment by textile OEMs throughout the world.
All Torque Transmission has extensive experience dealing with the textile manufacturing industry, not only in the supply of gear motors, but also associated transmission peripherals such as chain drives, timing belt drives, pulleys, and couplings.

Maxi Hygienic FKA series stainless steel helical-bevel gear reducers are designed for use in the food industry. The major dimensions match those commonly used in this sector, which makes replacement of old, cast iron, painted or coated drives an easy task that can often be accomplished without any modifications to existing equipment.
The smooth and rounded organic design makes this series ideal for virtually all applications in the food and beverage industry, whilst the robust engineering and execution even make it well suited for situations requiring high secondary torque and transmission ratios.
Supporting our Maxi Hygienic range of stainless steel gearboxes is our range of full stainless steel electric motors.
