Fluted Cheese Pipes

Fluted Aluminium Pipes with provision for mounting reflector strips can be supplied as per customer requirements.

Fluted Cheese Pipes are specially designed with longitudinal grooves on the outer surface, enabling secure mounting of reflective tapes and strips used in loom colour detection systems. The fluted profile ensures tapes remain firmly in position during high-speed winding operations, reducing slippage and improving detection accuracy. These pipes are available in both Steel and Aluminium variants to suit different loom types and production requirements.

Protection and Finish

Fluted Cheese Pipes can be supplied plain – i.e. without any treatment, or Zinc Plated or Powder Coated for protection as well as individual identification to segregate different deniers / grades of tape during storage. However, by far the most common reason for coating cheese pipes is to provide a uniform reflection co-efficient for colour detectors at the loom. Black is generally the preferred colour for this purpose. Other colours can also be imparted on demand. Aluminium Pipes are supplied plain or Anodized as per customer needs. Aluminium Tubes can also be supplied with Flutes to accommodate reflective tapes.

Punching of Holes / Notching

Some winders / looms need pipes to have notches for fixing the tubes while others require holes for light sensitive reflectors to be placed inside the tubes. Such features can be provided wherever ordered.

Packing

Standard packing consists of durable HDPE sacks of 100 or 150 nos each. However, other types of packing in Paper Carton are also available if required for export or transit over long distances.
