XTY-980 Bruckner Small Needle Wheel

Product Overview

This needle plate is a specialized accessory for textile printing and dyeing equipment. It is primarily mounted onto the machine’s needle clamp assembly using screws, with the core function of securing and clamping the fabric selvage. It moves in sync with the equipment’s chain to convey the fabric, thereby completing the fabric stretching and setting process. Designed specifically for the high-temperature, heavy-load conditions typical of textile printing and dyeing operations, this product features steel needles that are firmly secured and resistant to detachment, as well as excellent high-temperature stability and resistance to deformation. It effectively addresses common issues associated with traditional needle plates—such as needle loss, bending, breakage, snagging, and rust—ensuring continuous, stable operation of the production line and improving the yield of qualified finished fabrics.

Working Principle

During the fabric stretching and setting process in textile printing and dyeing, the fabric selvages must be continuously and stably clamped and fixed to maintain uniform width during the high-temperature setting stage, thus preventing shrinkage, wrinkling, and other quality defects. This needle plate is installed on the needle clamp via screw fastening; its steel needles precisely pierce and secure both edges of the fabric. As the machine chain drives the needle clamp and needle plate in synchronized motion, the clamped fabric advances under constant tension into the high-temperature setting zone, where the fabric stretching and setting process is completed. Throughout the entire conveying process, the needle plate’s steel needles consistently maintain stable clamping force without loosening or shifting, ensuring consistent fabric width and meeting the stringent precision requirements of textile printing and dyeing.

Core Advantages

1. Steel needles are securely fixed and unlikely to fall out: The needle plate employs a robust mounting structure that prevents needle loss even after prolonged, high-frequency operation with the chain, eliminating the need for frequent shutdowns to replace needles and significantly reducing maintenance downtime.
2. High-temperature 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, maintaining stable clamping accuracy over long-term use.
3. Effectively prevents snagging: The neatly arranged needle installation leaves no protruding burrs or loose components, so it does not catch fabric fibers during conveyance, avoiding defects such as snags and tears and enhancing the visual quality of finished fabrics.
4. Excellent rust resistance: The material is specially formulated to suit the humid, moisture-rich environment of textile printing and dyeing workshops, resisting rust over extended periods and preventing contamination of finished fabrics while also extending the needle plate’s service life.
5. Easy installation and broad compatibility: With a screw-fastening design, it directly fits standard needle clamp structures found in most textile printing and dyeing machines. Replacement and installation are straightforward, requiring no additional modifications to existing equipment, allowing for quick replacement and upgrades of old needle plates.

Core Value of the Product

1. Reduces production losses: By addressing issues like needle loss, bending, breakage, snagging, and rust, it lowers fabric scrap rates and the frequency of needle plate replacements, cutting overall raw material and component costs for textile printing and dyeing enterprises.
2. Boosts production efficiency: Stable clamping performance combined with low maintenance needs reduces downtime for repairs and upkeep, increasing the continuous operating time of printing and dyeing equipment and raising the output of fabric processed per unit time.
3. Ensures superior product quality: Consistent fabric stretching and setting results, free from snags and rust, significantly improve the pass rate and aesthetic quality of finished fabrics, helping companies enhance their market competitiveness.

Target Customer Groups

The primary customer segments 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 in existing production lines; wholesale distributors and suppliers of textile printing and dyeing accessories, providing standard stock items to downstream textile printing and dyeing businesses; and textile equipment maintenance service providers, offering regular upkeep and replacement of faulty parts for printing and dyeing machinery.

Application Scenarios

This needle plate is mainly used in the fabric stretching and setting processes of textile printing and dyeing production lines, compatible with conventional stretching and setting machines and needle-clamp-type printing and dyeing equipment. It is applicable to cotton fabrics, synthetic fabrics, blended fabrics, and other textiles undergoing stretching and setting. In actual production, the needle plate operates continuously alongside the machine chain, clamping the fabric selvages during the high-temperature setting phase. Widely employed in garment fabric production, home textile processing, industrial textile printing and dyeing, and other manufacturing settings, it provides reliable edge-clamping and transport support for diverse fabric types.

Industry Pain Points

In traditional textile printing and dyeing processes, ordinary needle plates commonly suffer from several pain points that negatively impact production efficiency and product quality: First, inadequate stability of steel needle fixation often leads to needle loss, bending, or breakage after prolonged, high-frequency operation, necessitating frequent shutdowns for needle replacement and potentially resulting in ineffective selvage clamping, causing wrinkles and uneven widths. Second, insufficient high-temperature resistance causes structural deformation under the intense heat of the setting process, reducing clamping accuracy and compromising the effectiveness of fabric stretching and setting. 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 printing and dyeing workshops, contaminating finished fabrics and shortening the needle plate’s lifespan while increasing enterprise costs for spare parts. This needle plate has been optimized to address these industry challenges, comprehensively resolving the various issues associated with traditional needle plates and providing stable, reliable support for textile printing and dyeing operations.
