KAPOTEX Industries

ProcessKapotex has quality as a central element in all products and processes. The Quality philosophy is based around three testing plans: all raw material is fully specified and confirmed by testing before use; products and processes are tested and examined during manufacture and compared to known benchmarks; testing is carried out prior to dispatch to ensure specifications are met. Our processes include:

Blending

To ensure a uniform blend throughout every batch

Carding

To convert fiber into a more uniform sliver

Spinning

To spin the yarn through high production ring spinning frames

Winding

Electronically cleaning the single yarn of faults such as thick, thin, long, short, spinner's doubles, and other faults with the help of electronic clearers

Plying

Yarn is plied using an assembly winder which reduces any chance of twist variation.

Twisting

Yarn is twisted into two, three, and four ply on twisting frames or Two For One Twister to a wide range of twist levels

Hanking

High speed hanking machines, set at pre-determined meterages, produce hanks, which are ready for inspection and packed into bundles for final bailing

Yarn testing equipment allows: count, twist, evenness, imperfections, fibre content, strength and elongation, relaxation and colour fastness to light, rubbing, water and washing.

Kapotex manufactures quality yarns that are supplied to carpet manufacturers on cone after the twisting process or in a hank form as per the client's specifications.
