SEPSON drop wires are made from hardened high-grade steel, and are carefully stamped and polished, in order to enhance improved fabric quality through: maximized warp stop motion efficiency and by minimizing false stops of the weaving machine. Special importance is attached to optimally rounded edges of the eye and best surface characteristics. All drop wires are nickel plated or stainless steel in order to improve the sliding qualities as well as the resistance against wear and corrosion all droppers. According to the characteristics of the warp yarns, please choose suitable droppers for your machinery from the table below by comparing the size and the weight.

Table of Drop wires specifications Guidelines for weights and densities have been developed through our extensive application experience. However, they can be influenced by warp yarn types, required densities, or pattern parameters.
