GV20 vertical gills
Technical supportGV20 vertical gills

2 different types of drafting systems which enable it to extend its field of application to the finest fibres and improve the sliver quality.
- The essential element of the fine yarn preparation units
- High speed vertical drafter up to 500m/min
- Production of light slivers at high speed down to 2ktex
- Access to feeding and drafting zones from the same operator position
- Manual or automatic delivery: 2 cans single end (2 heads) or double end (4 heads)
- Equipped in option with the on-line TEXGATE® sliver checking
