Kaxite KXT-SIB is a simple semi-automatic inverted braider engineered for braided gland packing production. 220V / 50Hz, 3 kW motor, compact 1.5 × 1.5 × 2.4 m footprint and approximately 1000 kg net weight. Output 10–50 kg per day. Square braiding supports 8, 18, 24 and 32 carriers; round braiding supports 8, 16, 24, 32 and 36 carriers. No impregnation tray, no timing device — braiding density is adjustable. Suitable for PTFE, graphite, aramid and carbon fiber yarn. Bulk supply, custom carrier configurations, OEM branding. Free technical consultation, factory-direct price, quote within 24 hours.
The KXT-SIB inverted braider is designed for the specific job of turning PTFE, graphite, aramid and carbon fiber yarn into continuous braided gland packing. The inverted design puts the take-off at the top, keeping the finished braid straight and tension-free — no bending or deformation of the finished packing. The simple semi-automatic configuration removes the impregnation tray and the timing device, which reduces both machine cost and operator time without compromising braid quality. Braiding density is adjustable, so one machine can produce packing with different densities for different service conditions.
Square braiding: 8, 18, 24 or 32 carriers. Round braiding: 8, 16, 24, 32 or 36 carriers. One machine covers the full cross-section range from small valve stem packing to large mixer shaft packing.
Braiding density can be adjusted without changing carriers. One machine can produce multiple packing grades for different pressure and temperature envelopes, without buying a second machine.
No impregnation tray, no timing device — fewer moving parts, fewer maintenance points. Operators can be trained quickly. Suitable for both new packing manufacturers and established lines looking for a second braider.

Square braid section is the standard format for gland packing used in pumps, valves and reciprocating machines. The carrier count determines the cross-section range, the braid tightness and the surface finish.
Round braid section is used for O-ring style packing, special-shaped gland seals and where the packing needs to fit a round groove or corner profile.
For the yarns used on this machine, see Pure PTFE Yarn for pure PTFE packing, Graphite PTFE Yarn for graphite-filled packing, and Spun Carbonized Fiber Yarn for carbonized fiber packing. To compare other braiding machine sizes, look at the Economical Semi-Automatic Inverted Braider or the Advanced Semi-Automatic Inverted Braider. For the full machine range, browse Machines for Braiding Packing.
Load the bobbins with PTFE, graphite or aramid yarn. Set the tension per the operation manual.
Select carriers for your target cross-section. Square or round braid section per the packing specification.
Start the braider. Density is set by the operator. Output 10–50 kg per day, depending on the yarn and carrier configuration.
Inverted top take-off keeps the braid straight and free of kinks. Coil or cut to length as needed.
Send the braid to a calender, cutting station or ring pre-forming — or box it as-is for a bulk yarn order.
Standard configuration 1 unit minimum. Custom carrier configuration and OEM branding accepted on qualified orders.
Standard configuration ships in 15–30 days. Custom configurations may take slightly longer — confirm at order placement.
12-month limited warranty on main mechanical parts. Spare parts available after warranty. Remote commissioning guidance included.

The KXT-SIB is a simple semi-automatic inverted braider used to braid gland packing from PTFE, graphite, aramid or carbon fiber yarn. It is the production machine that turns raw yarn into continuous braided packing before the packing goes to calendering, cutting or ring pre-forming. It is not a finished packing product — it is the machine that makes one.
Square braiding supports 8, 18, 24 and 32 carriers. Round braiding supports 8, 16, 24, 32 and 36 carriers. You select the carrier configuration at order placement. One machine can be configured for one carrier count — to produce both square and round braid, you would need either a second machine or to change the take-off assembly.
Output is 10–50 kg per day. Actual output depends on the yarn type, the carrier configuration, the braiding density setting and the operator's efficiency. Contact Kaxite with your target output and we will confirm the recommended configuration.
The KXT-SIB is the "simple" version of our inverted braider range. Removing the impregnation tray and timing device lowers machine cost and reduces maintenance points, while keeping the essential braiding capability. If your process requires inline impregnation or timed density control, look at the Advanced Semi-Automatic Inverted Braider or the Economical Semi-Automatic Inverted Braider depending on your priority.
PTFE yarn, graphite yarn, aramid fiber yarn, carbon fiber yarn, and other synthetic fiber yarns. Send your yarn type and cross-section and we will confirm compatibility. For yarn supply, see our Pure PTFE Yarn, Graphite PTFE Yarn and Spun Carbonized Fiber Yarn pages.
Kaxite Sealing operates under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. For machines, CE compliance for electrical safety can be confirmed at order placement. Material certificates and machine documentation are provided with each shipment.
The KXT-SIB carries a 12-month limited warranty on main mechanical parts. Wear parts and consumables are excluded. Spare parts remain available after warranty. Remote commissioning guidance is included with the shipment, along with the operation manual and electrical diagram. If you need on-site installation support, it can be arranged separately — contact Kaxite for details.
Send your target packing cross-section, yarn type, required output, carrier count, voltage and destination port. Kaxite replies within 24 hours with a factory-direct quotation, lead time and packing details.
Kaxite makes the yarn, the braiding machines and the finished packing. You can source the yarn and the machine from one factory, with matched specifications and one point of technical contact.
Machine and yarn production operate under the same ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. Material certificates and machine documentation provided with each shipment.
No trading margin — the machine ships directly from our Ningbo factory. Free technical consultation before order placement, and remote commissioning guidance after delivery.
