Airbond’s splicers are respected world-wide for their simplicity and reliability. In some circumstances, however, pneumatic splicing just won’t work.

Examples include:

• Monofilaments
• False Grass
• Braided yarn
• Very heavily-sized or coated yarn
• Very high-twist yarn

Our customers needed an air-driven splicer which made joints in these problem materials. The Model 162 delivers the answer. When the Model 162 is used, two yarn ends are overlapped, and a fine auxiliary yarn is tightly wrapped around them and bound to produce a joint of high strength. The Model 162 jointing method does not need electric motors or chargers; it just uses the same air supply as that used by the rest of the Airbond range. Simply plug it into the same air supply as usual, and make the wrapped joint.

The Model 162 can be worn by the operator, or hanged on the creel. Operation is done by button or foot-pedal.

As our customers have come to expect, the Airbond Model 162 is rugged, reliable and simple to maintain.
