All the merits of the class-leading Model 131 – with auto-cut.

The 133 is the latest development of the splicing principles established long ago by the Airbond Models 101 and 103. Those splicers are still used and respected world-wide by carpet manufacturers and spinners. The 103 improved on them; its performance was enhanced with the fitting of a set of automatic cutters, which are adjustable for optimum performance. The new Model 133 is a lighter, stronger, better counterpart to the old Model 103. The new 133 moves standards up even further, by reducing the need for operator skill.

Like its predecessors, the 133 joins a vast range of yarns. It can join high- or low-twist, S-twist or Z-twist on one chamber. Even S-twist to Z-twist, wool to cotton, glass to tyre cord.

Because it is printed, its body can be supplied in many forms. In its base form, it can be a tiny splicer, designed to work in confined spaces; but it can be fitted with handles, or with a hanging device to be used in a fixed position, or with a carriage for sliding along a rail. It can be also offer enhanced yarn control – using a side-plate fitted with yarn clamps. It can have flow control, so that line the air blast can be adjusted without altering the factory line pressure.
