Premium material
With our team of experts and our experience, we make
sure that the best raw materials are selected for each
application. Tempered stainless steel is a durable choice
for high-speed weaving conditions. This material
withstands best, the yarn cutting in the heddle eye.
Where as non-tempered steel heddles provide a reliable,
cost-effective answer to corrosion issues, especially for
water jet weaving.
Jet-Eye®
Steel Heddle® innovated the thread eye with the JET
EYE®. This patented design allows unrestricted yarn
passage, and dramatically reduces friction between your
yarn and the heddle. It guarantees increased air space
between heddles and up to 32% more heddle density per cm.
All contribute to higher loom speed, reduced yarn
chaffing, fewer harness frames and reduced energy
consumption. Good reasons to specify JET EYE ® heddles.
Compatible with the newest high speed drawing-in
systems, JET EYE ® is proving very successful on a wide
variety of fabric styles woven on air jet, water jet and
rapier weaving machines.
Ultimate Polish
Extensive range
From any end loop design, heddle length to wire thickness, Steel Heddle® can accommodate to your every need,
even for custom applications like doup heddles, narrow
fabric heddles, brazed eye and twin wire heddles.
GTP Accessories provides world-wide technical support
for selecting your ideal heddle.
For most delicate fabrics our Ultimate polish can be the
solution. Through our sophisticated polishing process,
the surface of the complete heddle becomes super
polished to treat the most delicate and finest warp yarns.
