Loepfe Brothers, a specialist for integral quality control system company, has launched its new WeftMaster SFB, the first of several of planned launches featuring latest technology products aimed at maximising productivity in weaving mills. WeftMaster brand carries a heritage of international success and reputation for Swiss engineering quality.
 
The WeftMaster SFB weft thread brake has now been upgraded with new electronics to control up to four brakes. 
 
Designed for fitting to projectile and rapier looms, the WeftMaster SFB controls the tension for all yarn types, thus minimising weft thread breaks. Braking start is optimized through precise projectile detection allowing increased loom speeds and promoting higher output. The WeftMaster SFB brakes also feature reduced yarn abrasion and higher wear resistance. 
 
"Today, it’s all about productivity and maximising return on investment. The WeftMaster SFB helps our customers in the technical textile business to increase production while, effectively, prolonging the life of their original equipment. We know there are still many owners of mechanically-braked weaving looms out there, so would urge them to contact us, there’s never been a better time to adopt a well-proven and reliable electronically-controlled solution," Loepfe’s head of products & solutions, Guido Wieland, said in a press release. 
 
"Despite the continuing Covid-19 crisis, a few months ago we announced our intent to transform the company and bring new products to the market. While our transformation is already well-advanced, many congratulations to the whole Loepfe team for their excellent work to facilitate the launch of the new WeftMaster SFB product today. We are all very excited about this and other upcoming product launches. Our customers can soon expect more new best-in-class products to support them as economic recovery gets underway," Loepfe CEO, Dr Ralph Mennicke, said.
