K. U. Paper Cone

Depending upon the application the specification of the cone varies. The popular sizes in the present Textile Industries are 9deg 15',5deg 57',4deg 20',3deg 30', etc.
In all yarn winding application, tension at the traverse extremes pulls yarn towards the cone centre. So we have to provide suitable surface finish to the cones like Embossing, Velvet Finishing, Flocking, etc.

Embossing is used for coarse and lively yarns. This surface provides extra resistance to yarn slippage. However fine embossing surface is provided for medium count yarn and for the threads where take off could be restricted by the above bold embossing surface.
This surface holds winding to full length, yet permits free delivery to knitting or sewing machine.
