S200 stretch breaker
Technical supportS200 stretch breaker

The S200 stretch breaker presents high advantages:
- New concepts, new quality standard
- High reliability and low maintenance
- Low power consumption
In the tow to top line of NSC fibre to yarn, the S200 converts tows of man-made fibres into long staple slivers with a “wool type” diagram. Those slivers are used for the preparation of knitting, hand-knitting, blankets and carpet yarns. The main processed fibres are acrylic (PAN), some specific polyester (PES), polypropylene (PP) or viscose (CV).
