What is a Used Yarn Extrusion Line?

A yarn extrusion line is a set of industrial machinery used to produce synthetic yarns (like polypropylene, polyester, or nylon) through the process of melt extrusion and spinning. A used yarn extrusion line refers to pre-owned or second-hand equipment that has been previously used but is still operational, often available at a significantly lower cost than new machinery.

Key Components of a Yarn Extrusion Line

1. Extruder – Melts and pushes the polymer through a die.

2. Spinning Head/Die – Shapes the melted polymer into filaments or fibers.

3. Cooling System – Solidifies the yarn using air or water quenching.

4. Godet Rollers – Stretch and orient the yarn for improved strength.

5. Winder or Take-up System – Winds the yarn into spools or packages.

6. Control Panel – Manages temperature, speed, tension, and other parameters.

Types of Yarn Extrusion Lines

• Monofilament Extrusion Line – For single-strand yarns, often used in ropes or brushes.

• Multifilament Extrusion Line – Produces multiple fine filaments, ideal for weaving fabrics or producing FIBC bag yarns.

• BCF (Bulked Continuous Filament) Line – For carpets and upholstery.

• Tape Line (Flat Yarn) – Used for woven sacks, FIBCs, and geo-textiles.

Advantages of Buying a Used Yarn Extrusion Line

• Cost-effective: Typically 40–70% cheaper than new equipment

• Faster delivery: No long manufacturing lead times

• Tested performance: Proven track record in production

• Upgrade potential: Can be refurbished with newer controls or components
