The problem: mixed machines, mixed spares
A mill running ring doublers, twisters and winders together usually stocks a different spindle for each duty — different fitting practice, different service routine, different spares on the shelf. Every variant added is another line in the stores register and another chance of fitting the wrong part in a hurry.
The aluminium plug construction answers that with one platform. The same plug-type construction covers the high-speed range across machine types: the same service practice, the same fitting familiarity, different spindle variants.
One platform, five configurations
The aluminium plug type textile spindle family covers HF-1, HF-21, HF-100, HZ-2C and HZ-3C configurations for TFO, twisting and winding duties. The heavy-duty aluminium plug bolster covers the same five configurations for winder, cops-winding and heavy-duty textile spindle applications.
Specification highlights from the product pages:
- Speed: up to 12,000 rpm (heavy-duty bolster rated 3,000–12,000 rpm)
- Lift: 204–250 mm
- Wharve diameter: 22.2–30 mm
- Ring diameter: 2 inch
- Materials: EN-31 / AISI-52100 blade with HE30 aluminium plug
- Vibration reduced up to 0.05 mm/sec; noise reduced to 75 dBA
- Complete set with flange, nut and spindle lock
Each spindle is a low-vibration, dynamically balanced construction with a reduced-noise design for long operating life, and every unit passes multi-stage quality checks.
Built for the heaviest duties
Aluminium plug type bolsters are built for the heaviest spindle duties — high package weights, long lifts and continuous high-speed running where a standard bolster would run hot and wear fast. The aluminium plug construction keeps the assembly rigid while managing heat over long shifts.
That is why the same construction appears in two places in the range: the doubling and twisting spindle for ring doubling and twisting duties, and the heavy-duty bolster for winder, cops-winding and heavy-duty applications. Mills running mixed TFO and winding installations often consolidate several configurations into one order — one supplier and one shipment for the whole shed's spindle spares.
What to check before ordering
Confirm four things before selection: the yarn process, the operating weight, the spindle speed and the brake requirement. Then send:
- The exact machine make and model.
- The configuration needed: HF-1, HF-21, HF-100, HZ-2C or HZ-3C.
- Dimensions and required quantity.
Each configuration is made for its listed machine model, and the match is confirmed before a quotation is given. Vindex Industries has manufactured spindle bolsters since 1985 at Surendranagar, Gujarat, exporting to spinning and twisting mills in 87 countries in bulk order quantities.
Frequently asked questions
What is the aluminium plug in the spindle? The plug is the HE30 aluminium component in the assembly, paired with an EN-31 / AISI-52100 blade. The construction keeps the assembly rigid while managing heat over long shifts.
Which configurations use the aluminium plug platform? HF-1, HF-21, HF-100, HZ-2C and HZ-3C, for doubling, twisting, TFO, winding and heavy-duty duties.
