TFO Spindles & Bolsters for Two-for-One Twisting
Two-for-one twisters require a spindle bolster selected for the particular machine, yarn package, speed and load. A TFO spindle bolster must hold the wharve dead-centre, run cool under continuous load and survive years of doffing cycles. Vindex Industries manufactures TFO spindles and bolsters since 1985 at Surendranagar, Gujarat, accepting bulk export enquiries from international twisting mills.
Each pattern below is built to the original machine geometry: Daewon, Leehwa, Meera, Muratec (363, 302, 307, 310A, 373 and 363 air-threading), Ratti F325, Veejay Lakshmi (VJ-100M, VJ-120M, VJ-150HS) and Volkmann TFO spindles — plus pirn-winder bolsters. Open any pattern for its variants, technical data and enquiry options.
For export and bulk enquiries, share your TFO machine make and model — the team will confirm the matching spindle bolster and quote accordingly.
TFO Spindle Bolster — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TFO spindle bolster?
In two-for-one (TFO) twisting, the spindle inserts two twists into the yarn with every revolution. The bolster is the stationary housing that holds that high-speed rotating spindle perfectly centred — if the bolster wears, the spindle vibrates, the balloon goes unstable and end breaks rise.
Which TFO machine models do Vindex bolsters fit?
Vindex makes TFO spindle bolsters for Daewon, Leehwa (including air-threading), Meera, Muratec (302, 307, 310A, 363, 363 air-threading and 373), Ratti F325, Veejay Lakshmi (VJ-100M, VJ-120M, VJ-150HS) and Volkmann machines. Each variant follows its machine's original dimensions, and the Vindex team confirms the match before quoting.
How do I confirm the right bolster for my TFO machine?
Open the product page for your machine make and check the specifications, then send an enquiry with your machine model — the Vindex team confirms the match before quoting. Sharing your spindle count per machine also helps get frame-set quantities for your maintenance plan.
What are the signs a TFO spindle bolster needs replacement?
Rising end-break rates, audible vibration or a wobbling yarn balloon at speed are the classic signs. Mills that replace bolsters on a running schedule — rather than waiting for failure — keep twist quality steady and avoid the production loss that worn bolsters cause.
Do you supply TFO spindle bolsters in bulk for export?
Yes. Vindex Industries has manufactured textile spindle bolsters since 1985 at Surendranagar, Gujarat, and accepts bulk export enquiries for twisting mills in international markets.
Selecting a TFO spindle bolster
A two-for-one spindle bolster is part of a twisting assembly. Select the replacement from the fitted spindle or bolster reference and its mounting dimensions. Machine brand and pot size are useful starting points, but different configurations can be fitted within a model series.
Before choosing a variant, use the TFO spindle bolster selection guide to check the machine reference, mounting and drive arrangement.
For an enquiry covering several machines, use the TFO spindle bolster buying guide to list model references and quantities separately.
Use the brand and model product pages to review the available TFO references. Send the existing bolster code, spindle photographs, mounting details and required quantity. State whether the enquiry is for the bolster alone or a larger assembly, and keep pirn-winder references separate from TFO twisting references.
