XTY-110 707 Ribbed Needle Plate

Product Overview

This needle plate is a specialized accessory for textile printing and dyeing equipment. It is primarily mounted onto the needle clamp assembly using screws, with its core function being to secure and clamp the fabric edges. It moves in sync with the equipment’s chain conveyor, enabling continuous fabric transport and facilitating the stretching and setting process. Designed specifically for the high-temperature, heavy-load conditions of textile printing and dyeing operations, this product features robust steel needles that remain firmly in place without easily falling out, along with excellent heat resistance and dimensional stability. It effectively addresses common issues associated with traditional needle plates—such as needle loss, bending, breakage, snagging, and rust—ensuring the continuous, stable operation of the production line and improving the yield of qualified finished fabrics.

Working Principle

During the stretching and setting stage of textile printing and dyeing, the fabric edges must be continuously and stably clamped to maintain uniform width under high-temperature conditions, preventing shrinkage, wrinkling, and other quality defects. This needle plate is securely fastened to the needle clamp via screws. Its steel needles precisely pierce and hold both sides of the fabric edge. As the equipment’s chain drives the needle clamp and needle plate in synchronized motion, the clamped fabric advances at a constant tension into the high-temperature setting zone, completing the stretching and setting process. Throughout the entire conveying process, the needle plate’s steel needles consistently maintain stable clamping force, avoiding loosening or displacement, thereby ensuring consistent fabric width and meeting the stringent precision requirements of textile printing and dyeing.

Core Advantages

1. Robust Steel Needles That Resist Loss: The steel needles are installed with a secure mounting structure, ensuring they do not fall out even during prolonged, high-frequency operation on the chain conveyor. This eliminates the need for frequent shutdowns to replace broken needles, significantly reducing maintenance downtime on the production line.
2. Heat Resistance and Dimensional Stability: Designed specifically for the high-temperature conditions of the setting process, both the overall structure of the needle plate and its steel needles can withstand the intense heat without deforming or shifting dimensions, maintaining stable clamping accuracy over long-term use.
3. Effective Prevention of Snagging: The neatly arranged needle installation leaves no sharp burrs or loose components, preventing fabric fibers from getting caught during conveyance and thus avoiding snags, tears, and other quality defects, ultimately enhancing the appearance and quality of finished fabrics.
4. Superior Rust Resistance: Made from materials compatible with the humid, moisture-rich environment of textile printing and dyeing workshops, this product resists rust even after extended use, preventing contamination of finished fabrics by rust stains and extending the needle plate’s service life.
5. Convenient Installation and Versatile Compatibility: With a screw-fastening design, it directly fits standard needle clamp structures found on most textile printing and dyeing machines. Replacement and installation are straightforward, requiring no additional modifications to existing equipment, allowing for quick replacement or upgrade of old needle plates.

Core Value of the Product

1. Reduced Production Waste: By addressing issues such as needle loss, bending, breakage, snagging, and rust, this product lowers fabric scrap rates and reduces the frequency of needle plate replacements, helping textile manufacturers cut overall costs for raw materials and spare parts.
2. Improved Production Efficiency: Stable clamping performance combined with low maintenance needs minimizes downtime for repairs and upkeep, increasing the continuous operating time of printing and dyeing equipment and boosting fabric output per unit time.
3. Guaranteed Finished Product Quality: Consistent stretching and setting results, free from snags and rust, significantly enhance the pass rate and visual appeal of finished fabrics, strengthening the market competitiveness of the manufacturer’s products.

Target Customer Base

The primary customers served by this needle plate include: manufacturers of various types of textile printing and dyeing equipment, who can use it as an original equipment accessory; large and medium-sized textile printing and dyeing processing enterprises, suitable for upgrading or replacing components on existing production lines; wholesale distributors and suppliers of textile printing and dyeing accessories, providing standard stock items to downstream textile manufacturers; and maintenance service providers specializing in textile machinery, offering regular upkeep and replacement of faulty components.

Application Scenarios

This needle plate is mainly used in the stretching and setting processes of textile printing and dyeing production lines, compatible with standard stretching and setting machines and needle-clamp-type printing and dyeing equipment. It supports the stretching and setting of cotton fabrics, synthetic fabrics, blended fabrics, and other textile varieties. In actual production, the needle plate operates continuously alongside the equipment’s chain conveyor, clamping fabric edges during high-temperature setting procedures. Widely applied across diverse manufacturing sectors—including apparel fabrics, home textiles, and industrial textiles—it provides reliable edge clamping and fabric transport support for various types of textile processing.

Industry Pain Points

In traditional textile printing and dyeing processes, conventional needle plates often suffer from numerous challenges that negatively impact production efficiency and product quality: First, inadequate needle fixation leads to frequent needle loss, bending, and breakage after prolonged high-frequency operation, necessitating frequent shutdowns for needle replacement and potentially resulting in compromised edge clamping, causing wrinkles and uneven widths. Second, insufficient heat resistance causes structural deformation under high-temperature setting conditions, reducing clamping accuracy and compromising the effectiveness of the stretching and setting process. Third, inadequate surface treatment frequently results in snagging, damaging fabric fibers and creating visible defects. Fourth, poor corrosion resistance makes these plates prone to rust in the humid, moisture-laden environments typical of textile workshops, contaminating finished fabrics with rust stains while shortening the needle plate’s lifespan and increasing procurement costs for spare parts. This needle plate has been specially engineered to address these industry pain points, comprehensively resolving the limitations of traditional needle plates and delivering stable, reliable support for textile printing and dyeing operations.
