Hand Operated Wrap Reel About
Hand Operated Wrap ReelThe GLOBE Wrap Reel is offered in both motor and hand operated models. The yarn is spread uniformly in a band of 20 mm as the lea is formed. Up to 5 leas can be formed at one time. One of the arms of the reel can be docked to facilitate the removal of the leas from the reel. The number of turns is indicated on a re-settable mechanical counter.
In case of motor operated wrap reel, a fractional horsepower motor controlled by a pre-set counter is provided to give the movement to the reel. An electro-magnetic brake is provided to stop the movement of the reel almost instantaneously to reduce the chances of over-travel.
The wrap reel is mounted over a fabricated thick steel sheet base plate. Bobbins of upto 100 mm diameter and 250 mm length can be mounted on the base plate. The yarn taken up from the bobbins is guided over a stainless steel rod and is spread uniformly with the help of vitreous enamel coated pigtail yarn guides. The guides move through a distance of 20 mm once every sixteen turns to give leas of 20 mm width.
The standard wrap reel is suitable for making either imperial or metric leas. Composite wrap reel, which can make either of the two types of leas with the help of an additional reel, is also available. Reels of other swift perimeters can also be supplied against specific requirements.

FAQ's of Hand Operated Wrap Reel:
Q: How does the hand operated wrap reel determine yarn length accurately?
A: The wrap reel uses a fixed reel circumference of 1.5 yards (54 inches) and a mechanical or resettable digital counter to precisely measure the length of yarn wound during each run, allowing reliable determination of yarn count and total length.
Q: What materials can be tested with this wrap reel?
A: This wrap reel is suitable for yarn, thread, synthetic fibres, and natural fibres, making it ideal for most applications in textile laboratories, quality control, and research settings.
Q: When should I use the hand operated wrap reel in my testing process?
A: The wrap reel is used when you need to determine the length of yarn, create standardized leas for strength tests, or when preparing yarn samples for chemical processing and count testing.
Q: Where is the ideal usage environment for this wrap reel?
A: The wrap reel is best suited for textile laboratories, research institutions, and quality control departments. It operates effectively in ambient temperature and humidity conditions.
Q: What is the process for operating the hand operated wrap reel?
A: Simply mount the yarn or thread specimen, use the automatic traverse for precise guidance, and turn the hand crank to wind the yarn until the required length or number of leas is reached, as indicated by the counter.
Q: What are the benefits of using this manual wrap reel?
A: Key advantages include high measurement accuracy, simple manual operation, low maintenance needs, and reliable results. Its sturdy, powder coated construction ensures durability, and its easy-to-clean design supports quick laboratory workflows.
