As a part of continuous innovation, Ideal Group has launched two new products in 2020 – the premium bobbin holders and ultra-tech lappet hooks for spinning machines
The Ideal Group is among the most successful manufacturers of premium spare parts for the textile industry. Its spinning tubes and roving bobbins are approved by most of the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and are exported worldwide. The company’s in-house research and development team and DSIR, Government of India-approved research and development centre help it to continuously upgrade the existing products and develop new ones. Its latest spinning tubes like HCC (energy-saving) and HIG (high-impact, more gliding with long bush) have received tremendous acceptance on today’s high-speed machines.
Millennium Series Bobbin Holders
The new millennium series bobbin holders continue the legacy of being dust-free and most reliable bearings with the following distinct features:
• Improved ratchet-type opening and closing mechanism for higher reliability and smoother operation.
• Polycarbonate body for highest strength.
• Rigid legs with profile matching that of bobbins to give perfect resting position to simplex bobbin.
• Optimised oscillation for rotating and non-rotating bobbin holders.
• Pre-adjusted break force to suit your roving and avoid unnecessary stretch.
• The M2 series bobbin holders are available in rotating and non-rotating versions and take care of major applications of spinning mills.
The premium bobbin holders for RBTS have the following features to take care of the RBTS challenges:
• The double suspension mechanism withstands the unbalanced upward forces while inserting the bobbin in bobbin holder.
• The four legs and stability spring provide stable holding during the movement.
• The bobbin holder controls the oscillation and avoids collision of the bobbin during movement.
• Stronger body of bobbin holders can absorb the push pull and push forces. Effective opening and closing of bobbin holder legs to avoid bobbin falling and hence any accidents.
These products are being used for new projects as well as for replacement. “We pursue ongoing intensive communication with our clients with an aim to create a comprehensive learning process for the constant development of ideas. This helps us to align our company’s goals with the needs and expectations of the global textile industry. As a part of continuous innovation, Ideal Group has launched two new products in 2020 – the premium bobbin holders and ultra-tech lappet hooks for spinning machines,” informs Khushi Palkhiwala, Chairman and Managing Director, Ideal Group.
“Having realised the challenges being faced on the roving bobbin transport system (RBTS), Ideal Group started investing in development of state-of-art bobbin holders. Our design and technology team studied the new generation RBTS and other automation in the spinning industry. Critical inputs were also taken from the end-users. We are excited to roll over our new millennium series’ bobbin holders in the market which provide the perfect solution. This has given us a technological edge over our competitors. We also aim to minimise the chances of bobbin falling from the bobbin rail and avoid accidents. The ultra-tech lappet hooks are also rolled over in the market with an aim to avoid frequent changes and damages to expensive yarn. The ultra smooth polish and high hardness provides excellent balance of precision and perfection,” says Laxmikant Rathi, President, Ideal Group.

Ultra-Tech Lappet Hook
The lappet hook is probably the smallest part on a ring spinning machine. The fibres touching the lappet hooks are completely in an open condition without any twist to support. Therefore, any problem with the surface of the lappet hook can increase yarn breakage and yarn hairiness. Hence, lappet hooks are probably the most critical part on the machine and directly affect the yarn quality and productivity. The new-generation high-speed spinning machine requires lappet hooks that can provide extremely smooth surface over a longer period of time. Ideal Group has therefore introduced ultra-smooth finish lappet hooks. The hooks are made of cold drawn stainless steel, twisted on automatic machine for controlled stretch.
These hooks are tuftrided in a completely automated process and then polished with state-of-the-art ultra-tech polishing machines. This technology helps to achieve uniform hardness of over 1,000 Va and surface smoothness at the eye of R 1.5 1µm Rz. The lappet hooks offers long working life and lowest end breakages due to this special finish. Each lot is checked for hardness and surface finish on high-end hardness tester and microscope to ensure quality and uniformity across all the lots. The benefits are distinctly visible while spinning abrasive fibres like synthetics and combed cotton.
