About Us

SK Engineering is a predominant Manufacturers of Textile Comber Machine Nippers . The Company is Managed by Mrs. Uma, who has a vast experience in the field of Textile Machines. Our Expertise in manufacturing and Service of Comber Nippers. We have Supplied our Comber Nippers to major Textile Mills in and around South India. We are also invloved in exporting comber nippers to the international market. We have a well equipped infrastructure and we also have a trained workforce who can support our Client needs at the specified time. The success of our serviced nipper is based on high-precision servicing and a unique finish and in the serviced nipper we ensure faultless clamping in every case.

Our Comber Nippers

We specialize in the manufacture of Comber Nippers and our work is as follows :

  • Nipper body made out of imported aluminium alloy by adopting Pressure Die casting.
  • Top and Bottom Nipper plates are made out of Special grade Stainless steel.
  • Pressure Die casted nippers suitable for Rieter E7/5, E7/5A,E60,E60H, E62,E65, E66 and LMW’s LK54, LK64 Combers.
  • Top nipper & Bottom nipper profiles are done by using CNC machines for accuracy, and for perfect clamping of nipper jaws
  • Pressure Die Casting nippers can accommodate heavier Batt weights upto 80 gms/mtr.

Nipper Assembly Manufacturers

The nipper assembly is of enormous importance to the design of a comber. The mass of the nippers should be chosen carefully because it is accelerated and decelerated back to rest twice per nipper cycle (up to 7 times per second in modern machines).

A low-mass nipper assembly – for example, made of aluminum alloy – is therefore advantageous. At the same time it should also clamp a relatively thick lap batt (up to 80 ktex) firmly and evenly.


Therefore nipper plates must be made of steel (at least the clamping region), and the upper plate must be stiff while the lower plate may slightly springy.



The upper nipper is mounted so that it can pivot on the lower nipper on pivot axis (a), and can therefore be raised and lowered.

Two springs , one each to right and left of the nipper assembly, generate the required contact pressure for the nipper closing.

The nose is designed to press the fiber fringe downward during clamping, so that the fringe cannot escape the action of the circular combs.
