Golden Eagle Group

• Long-flax roving: FX401A
• Short-flax roving: FX401B
• Wet-spinning frames: FX502 and FX506A

Golden Eagle arranges its flax page by process stage, starting with raw fibre and ending at wet-spun yarn. The long-flax and short-flax roving frames sit on two separate branches. They are alternatives chosen by fibre, and a mill handling both kinds of flax would run them side by side.

Each model, with its role and the question to raise about it, is laid out on the flax preparation and spinning equipment page. The steps below give the short version. [2]

1. Hackling and sliver forming

   Golden Eagle lists an FX101 hackling machine and an FX201 sliver maker, plus a combined FX103/FX203 unit that does both jobs. Say whether your flax arrives raw or already prepared, because that decides which of the three belongs in your line.

2. Mackie-type drawing: FX280 to FX284

   The drawing series spans several frames. How many passages, frames and cans your yarn programme needs comes out of the process calculation, so ask for that calculation with the offer.

3. Roving: pick the branch for your fibre

   FX401A is the long-flax roving frame and FX401B the short-flax one. FX402 is a further Mackie-type flax roving machine. Keep the A or B suffix on every line of the equipment schedule so the right frame is built.

4. Wet spinning: FX502 and FX506A

   FX502 and the Mackie-type FX506A finish the route. Golden Eagle prints no count range, spindle speed or output for them, so ask for figures worked out on your own fibre.

Golden Eagle's group introduction dates the business back to 1966. It names the listed company under its control as the developer of textile machinery for bast fibres, spun silk and wool. The same website presents plastics machinery, die casting and other trades, which sit apart from the flax workshop and say little about its size.

The 2025 annual report of the listed company names Zhejiang Golden Eagle Group Co., Ltd. as its controlling shareholder. Page 47 gives 27 June 1998 as the day the group was legally set up, while 1966 marks where the business history begins. Pages 4–5 identify the issuer as Zhejiang Golden Eagle Co., Ltd., stock code 600232. Its financial figures belong to that issuer as a whole, textile production included.

Ask which legal entity will sign the quotation, build the frames and send engineers for service, and write that name into the contract. The general notes on how to read a manufacturer profile cover the same group-and-subsidiary question for other suppliers. [1] [3]

According to the group introduction, Golden Eagle set up flax and spun-silk production on its own machines, then moved into weaving, finishing and garment making, with test and training facilities alongside.

On page 8 of the 2025 annual report, the listed company describes developing, making and selling textile machinery next to its textile production. It presents the machinery side as one business that handles R&D, design, purchasing, manufacturing and sales.

That mill experience gives you a good reason to ask for a run on your own fibre. Ask whether a sample can pass through the stages you plan to buy, who will interpret the results, and whether settings and the intermediate sliver and roving will be written down. A run on the maker's usual fibre tells you little if your preparation or your long and short flax mix is different, so insist on a trial with your own flax. [1] [3]

For a new mill, ask Golden Eagle for an equipment schedule by stage, the form of the material entering and leaving each machine, and the sums used to match capacities. A list of hackling, drawing, roving and spinning frames is where the offer starts. The balance between those frames is what turns it into a working line.

For a replacement section, describe what stays: the cans and packages in use, the material that arrives at the new machine, and what the following operation expects to receive.

Wet spinning brings supporting plant with it. Ask the maker to list the utilities it expects, the wet-process work it will take on and the effluent arrangements, and to state which items fall to your mill or to another contractor. Leave none of this to the machinery price by default. [2]

Describe the flax you hold and the yarn you mean to sell. Agree the preparation route, which samples stand for your incoming quality, and the points where yield and output will be measured. Keep intermediate samples from preparation, roving and spinning so a change in quality can be traced to one stage.

Tie the acceptance terms to the yarn properties you need and to steady output on the agreed fibre. Log the machine configuration, settings, stops and waste so the outcome can be set against the proposed line balance.

Price, delivery slot, guaranteed output, the content of any training package and the spare parts list belong in a dated proposal from the contracting company. Compare that proposal with the test run before you sign.
