Introducing
AUTOMATED YARN CREELING SYSTEM
MODRA TECHNOLOGY, innovators in soft flooring solutions, has launched the evolutionary automated yarn creeling system, CreelMT for tufted carpet manufacturers.
CreelMT IS AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM THAT WINDS YARN TO LENGTH AND USES ROBOTICS TO LOAD THE FULL PACKAGE OF YARN INTO A MOBILE CREEL.
OUR CreelMT™ SYSTEM COMBINES:
CreelMT is unique and in some respects it’s not revolutionary but evolutionary. We’ve drawn together a number of existing technologies – mobile creels, precision winding of yarn, integration with CAD systems and robotics – into one complete system and created an automated, robotic yarn package handling system as a smart alternative to the traditional fixed creel.

CreelMT FEATURES:
-
Suitable for many types of tufting machines
-
Gilbos precision winders accurately measure yarn length and reduce waste
-
CreelMT system configured to meet your needs
-
Automation and robotics to reduce manual handling and improve safety
-
Compact – takes 50% of fixed creel floor-space
