PE Fishing Line Braiding Solutions

High-precision, high-strength, ultra-durable professional fishing line braiding equipment

PE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) fishing line has become the mainstream choice in the high-end fishing tackle market due to its ultra-high strength, ultra-light weight, and excellent abrasion resistance. Fengyan Machinery provides full-series fishing line braiding solutions from 4-strand to 16-strand, equipped with precision servo tension control systems ensuring inter-yarn tension deviation within 5% and industry-leading braiding density uniformity.

Applicable Materials

PE raw yarn (200D-3000D)

Dyneema fiber

Spectra fiber

nylon coated yarn

fluorocarbon coated yarn

Braiding Process

1

Material Pretreatment

PE fiber undergoes preheating treatment before braiding, heating to 60-80°C for 15-20 minutes to reduce internal residual stress and improve braiding conformability. Preheating temperature accuracy must be maintained within ±2°C.

2

Multi-Carrier Cross Braiding

Using 16-24 carrier high-speed braiding machines, carrier speed 200-350rpm, braiding angle controlled between 30°-45°. Each PE fiber tension precisely controlled within 0.8-1.5N, with inter-carrier tension variation not exceeding 5%.

3

Heat Setting Treatment

After braiding, heat setting at 120-140°C for 30-60 seconds eliminates internal stress and stabilizes line structure. Post-heat-setting line shrinkage controlled within 1%.

4

Surface Coating

Coating material selected by application: freshwater fishing uses polyurethane coating for abrasion resistance, saltwater fishing uses fluorocarbon coating for salt spray corrosion resistance. Coating thickness 0.05-0.15mm, curing temperature 150-200°C.

5

Precision Winding

Constant-tension take-up system linked to braiding speed prevents loose inner layers and tight outer layers. Winding length accuracy ±0.5%, supports automatic length cutting and label printing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PE fishing line braiding machines and general braiding machines?

PE fishing line braiding machines require higher tension control precision (±0.1N), more precise spindle speed control (±0.01%), and dedicated pre-heating devices. Additionally, ceramic guide wheels are needed to reduce PE fiber wear, and constant-tension take-up systems ensure consistent tension between inner and outer layers of the spool.

Which model should I choose for 4-strand vs 8-strand fishing line?

4-strand line has a relatively simple structure, satisfied by 16-carrier models; 8-strand requires more carriers, recommend 24-carrier models. If your product line includes both 4-strand and 8-strand, choose a 24-carrier model directly, adjusting the number of active carriers for different products.

What is the typical scrap rate for PE fishing line braiding?

With high-precision servo models, scrap rate can be controlled below 1%; ordinary VFD models have about 2-3% scrap rate. Main scrap causes include density deviation from uneven tension, broken thread joints, and line deformation from improper heat setting temperature.
