Injection Moulding Machine for Cone Holders, Creel Pegs and Adaptors
Cone holders, creel pegs and adaptors are moulded on horizontal injection moulding machines from glass-filled PA6, POM, PP or ABS. Part length and cavities set mould size and tonnage, and glass fibre calls for a wear-resistant screw. On a peg that carries a package, fibres should run along its length, so gate position matters most.
Selecting a machine for creel hardware comes down to dimensional repeatability against the installed machine, steady holding pressure for thick roots and handling of glass-filled nylon. Pratishna Engineers supplies horizontal injection moulding machines for creel part production and can recommend a configuration.

Machine Requirements for Cone Holder and Creel Peg Moulding
These parts must fit an existing creel and carry a package without bending, so moulding focuses on:
- Fit to the installed creel base or spindle
- Fibre running along the peg for cantilever stiffness
- No weld line or sink at the peg root
- Burr-free edges wherever yarn passes
- Drying of PA6 and conditioning before gauging
- Wear-resistant screw and barrel for glass-filled grades
Recommended Machine for Cone Holders and Creel Pegs
Most pegs, holders and adaptors are small to medium parts in two to several cavities, so the E Series (75-180 T) covers a large share of tools. Long creel pegs and multi-cavity family moulds need more stroke and clamping force, which brings in the C Series (140-320 T), while the largest tools run on the H Series (120-350 T).

FAQs / Buyer Questions
What creel and spare part makers usually ask before moulding these parts.
Which Injection Moulding Machine Is Used to Make Creel Pegs and Cone Holders?
A horizontal machine sized to part length and cavity count. Most holders and adaptors fit the E Series, and long pegs or family moulds move to the C or H Series.Can a Creel Peg Mould Be Made from an Existing Sample?
Yes. Replacement pegs and holders are often tooled from a sample taken off the installed creel. The toolmaker allows for the shrinkage of the chosen material, and first-off parts are checked on the actual creel.Why Use Glass-Filled Nylon for Creel Pegs?
A peg loaded at one end bends at its root. Glass-filled PA6 resists that bending and creep. Gating at the free end runs fibres along the peg, and the root is kept free of weld lines and sink.
How Are Burrs Kept Off Cone Holders?
Burrs come from flash on worn parting lines and shut-offs. Clamping force matched to projected area, steady injection pressure and timely tool maintenance keep edges clean where yarn runs.Can Pratishna Recommend a Machine for My Creel Peg or Cone Holder?
Yes. Share the part sample or drawing, material, part weight, number of cavities, mould dimensions and monthly quantity, and Pratishna Engineers will suggest a suitable machine.Does the Machine Suit Other Creel and Winding Parts Too?
Yes. The same machine class moulds textile cones, bobbins, yarn guides and sliver can castors, subject to the mould.
