Paper Cones for Murata Automatic Winders

Automatic winding and VORTEX spinning are different

Muratec identifies QPRO as an automatic winder and VORTEX as a spinning machine. VORTEX spins yarn from sliver and forms packages as part of its process; it should not be grouped with standalone automatic cone winders. A VORTEX inquiry needs its own model and package-support specification.

What to send for a QPRO or Process Coner inquiry

• Exact model and configuration from the nameplate/manual; include the winding head or holder reference when available.
• Taper designation, cone length, top/nose inner diameter and base inner diameter, with measurement positions and agreed tolerances.
• Holder and spindle-seat requirements, wall thickness, rim profile, notch position and dimensions from an approved drawing.
• Yarn fibre and count, intended package weight, winding settings and the current finish.
• A reference cone or dimensioned drawing; photographs provide context but cannot establish dimensional fit on their own.

QPRO, QPRO EX and different Process Coner configurations must not be assumed to use identical cones. Review the buyer’s documentation before agreeing a sample. See paper cone specifications and the machine matching guide.

Sample matching before a repeat order

Agree the proposed dimensions and finish, then arrange a trial sample. Check seating and release, rim condition, inner-wall finish, initial yarn grip, package build and unwinding on the buyer’s own setup. Record the trial settings and acceptance criteria. Approve the sample or drawing revision before a volume order.

Smooth, velvet and embossed finishes are options to discuss; the yarn and operating conditions determine the trial, rather than a blanket finish recommendation for the whole Murata brand.

Murata automatic winder models

Mills often run several Murata generations side by side, so give us the model shown on the machine nameplate. Muratec lists these automatic winders in its company history:

Link coner, magazine or bobbin tray: does it change the cone?

A link coner is a winder connected directly to the ring spinning frame. Muratec describes a tray-to-tray system: bobbins doffed at the spinning frame travel on trays straight to the winder, with no manual handling in between. Stand-alone winders are fed from a magazine or a bobbin tray system instead. A search for a "Murata QPRO link coner" usually means a QPRO or QPRO EX installed in the link configuration.

The supply system decides how ring bobbins reach each winding unit. The paper cone sits at the other end, in the package cradle, where the yarn builds into the finished package. So the cone is chosen from the package side: the cradle and cone holder, the taper, the traverse and the package your next process needs. Send those details with the model and configuration, and we match the cone to them.
