RETECH designs and manufactures godets and draw frames for heated, ambient and cooled processes, enabling precise heat treatment and consistently high yarn quality for a wide range of polymers and applications, with process temperatures of up to 400 °C for high-performance fibers. The company’s key competence lies in exact and stable temperature and speed control, individually adapted to the specific material and process requirements.
Advanced induction heating concepts, available in single-zone or multi-zone configurations, ensure highly accurate temperature profiles and excellent temperature uniformity over the entire godet surface, precisely influencing yarn properties such as tenacity, elongation, and shrinkage to achieve a highly consistent final product.
Energy efficiency and long-term reliability are key elements of the RETECH godet concept. Energy-optimised heating systems and efficient drive solutions are combined with a robust mechanical design to achieve extended service life and maximum machine availability.
The proven non-contact temperature measuring and transmission system UTR-6A continuously captures temperature data directly from the rotating godet and transfers it to the UCR-6 controller for regulation. This enables preventive measures to protect the godet, bearing system and induction heater, while ensuring stable production conditions and supporting the sustainability of the overall fibre manufacturing process.
At Techtextil 2026, RETECH looks forward to welcoming customers and industry professionals at its booth and informing them about the latest developments in godet and draw frame technology for modern fibre production processes.
