Sourcing Reliable Extrusion Parts

You have to exercise caution when you are trying to source reliable extrusion parts such as texturing jets and interlacing jets. While the texturing jets are used in the single step classes of extruders that help in the manufacture of upholstery and automotive fabrics these are fabricated from a very hard heat treated alloy. The strength of the heat treated alloy actually imparts durability to the jets. You would also need to confirm that the manufacturer of interlacing jets that are used in air entanglement of various yarns such as BCF and CF has the professional capability and all the precision machinery that is required to deliver the jets of the highest quality.

The interlacing tack jets need to be manufactured under ISO 9001 of 2008 process and these jets actually cost less. If you are planning to buy custom tack jets rather than those available off the shelf you need to ensure that these are manufactured using the best quality superior grade steel alloy and not from ceramic. The best quality tack jets that are made of alloy steel will give you long life and there is no chance of the operator mishandling and damaging these. It would be best if the manufacturer uses a design that features a split line along the yarn path rather than the rebound plate thereby totally eliminating broken corners. Whether it’s the air consumption or the tack level and internal geometry or the cost and discounts the alloy tack jets would be the best under all counts.
