Ceramic open end and TFO (Two-for-One) machines are critical pieces of equipment in textile manufacturing. Both machines use a "shoe guide" to guide the yarn through the machine and produce high-quality textile products.The shoe guide in a ceramic open end machine is made of a ceramic material that is highly resistant to wear and tear. This type of guide is essential for the high speeds and temperatures that are required to produce open-end yarns. The ceramic material is also highly polished, which reduces friction and allows the yarn to move through the machine more smoothly.
