CreelMT™ is an automated yarn creeling system for tufted carpet machines that winds yarn to the length required for each needle position and uses robotic package handlers to place the yarn package into a mobile creel trolley.
As global leaders in soft flooring innovation, Modra Technology’s machine solutions have provided carpet manufacturers with the speed and agility to respond to customers’ changing needs for over 30 years.
Key data is displayed for the job being run, including a countdown of wound packages and the colour, needle position and yarn length.
Gilbos precision winders accurately measure the yarn length required for each needle position, reducing yarn waste.
E-Paper is a wireless, electronic label that is fixed to the mobile creel trolley containing information about the job. Information updates automatically as new jobs are loaded into the Creel MT system.
The number of positions in the Mobile Creel Trolley is tailored to suit the maximum number of needle positions in the tufting machine, along with header bar placement and the header strip pitch.
Robotic heads move wound packages of yarn from the winder into the mobile creel trolley, saving labour and improving safety.
Fully enclosed safety cage to protect the operator from any high-velocity moving parts. The system features E-stops on the cage and winders, safety keys on the doors and lockout switches for power and air with a full safety reset process.
Takes up to 50% less floor space than a fixed creel.

“I saw the application of the CreelMT™ in our process as a game changer to improve our efficiencies. Tufting downtime due to changeover, reduction in creeler hours, yarn material handling and yarn waste. We’ve improved our tufting capacity, on the machines serviced by the CreelMT™, by more than 100%.”
