Frequently asked questions.
Clear specifications. Better sourcing decisions. Find practical answers before sending your industrial enquiry.
General enquiries
What does BANIX do?
BANIX is a Germany-based B2B trading and sourcing partner. We coordinate sourcing enquiries, technical clarification, quotations and international deliveries for industrial components.
Which industrial product groups can BANIX source?
Our portfolio covers industrial belts, pulleys, gears, sprockets, selected industrial motor enquiries, textile machinery components, spindles, aprons, cots, sliver cans, paper cones, industrial paper packaging and drawing-based components. Each request is reviewed for feasibility and suitable supply options.
Is BANIX a manufacturer?
No. BANIX acts as an industrial trading and sourcing partner. Manufacturing, when required, is arranged with appropriate external production sources; feasibility and specifications must be confirmed for each project.
Can BANIX source products not listed on the website?
You can enquire about components outside the published portfolio. Send the application or part reference and we will assess whether sourcing is feasible. A request does not imply guaranteed availability.
How do I request a quotation (RFQ)?
Use our request form and provide your company, contact email, destination country, product description and technical requirements. Include the quantity, part number or a drawing when available.
Can I attach technical drawings or CAD files?
The enquiry form lists PDF, image, DWG, DXF and STEP uploads, with up to five files and 7 MB total. Share only drawings you are authorized to disclose; arrange a suitable secure exchange before sending confidential designs.
Which technical details help BANIX assess a request?
Useful information includes dimensions, materials, tolerances, application, operating conditions, machine reference, desired quantity and destination. The necessary detail depends on the product family.
Can I request a sample before ordering?
Samples may be possible, depending on the product, specification and sourcing arrangements. Please enquire first; availability, costs and shipment conditions require individual confirmation.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Minimum quantities depend on product type, manufacturing requirements and customization. Send your intended quantity so the applicable options can be assessed.
Why are there no fixed prices on the website?
Industrial quotations depend on dimensions, material, configuration, quantity, destination and agreed commercial terms. BANIX therefore confirms prices for the specific enquiry rather than publishing general price promises.
What is the expected lead time?
Lead time varies with the selected product, quantity, production requirements and route. We discuss an estimated schedule during the quotation process; no general delivery time is guaranteed.
Can BANIX coordinate international delivery?
BANIX handles enquiries involving international procurement and delivery coordination. Available destinations, trade terms, logistics and any applicable regulatory restrictions are assessed for each transaction.
Where can I find product datasheets?
Selected product information and downloadable documents are available in the BANIX Technical Library. Final technical data must be verified against the offered configuration.
Does every product have the same certificates or approvals?
No general certificate or approval should be assumed across product families. State your documentation requirements in the RFQ so the relevant product-specific evidence can be checked before quotation or order.
How do I contact BANIX?
For technical enquiries, use the online RFQ form or email sales@banix.de. Include the relevant product and company information.
Product-specific questions
Browse product questions
Rubber Cots ↗
How is a rubber cot selected for a drafting application?
Cot selection depends on the spinning or draw-frame application, intended fibre or yarn, roller dimensions and the appropriate material/hardness specification. A catalogue series is not automatically compatible with every machine.
What should I include in a Rubber Cots RFQ?
Please include: Machine or roller reference, cot diameter and width, fibre/yarn application, existing part reference and quantity. Exact selection and availability are confirmed individually.
Rubber Aprons ↗
Can rubber aprons be selected using dimensions alone?
No. Dimensions are essential, but the drafting application, inner and outer layer specification, material requirements and any perforation pattern may also be relevant. Compatibility must be confirmed.
What should I include in a Rubber Aprons RFQ?
Please include: Apron circumference/length, width, thickness, machine model, material/application, perforation requirement and order quantity. Exact selection and availability are confirmed individually.
Sliver Cans ↗
What determines a sliver-can configuration?
Diameter, overall height, spring or pallet configuration and wheel or chassis requirements must be matched to the handling process and machine layout.
What should I include in a Sliver Cans RFQ?
Please include: Can diameter and overall height, machine/process, wheel and spring requirements, quantity and destination. Exact selection and availability are confirmed individually.
Sliver-Can Accessories & Wheels ↗
Can replacement wheels be chosen by diameter only?
Not reliably. Mounting dimensions, wheel type, geometry and the existing can chassis must also be checked before selecting a replacement.
What should I include in a Sliver-Can Accessories & Wheels RFQ?
Please include: Existing wheel or accessory reference, mounting dimensions, photographs, can model and quantity. Exact selection and availability are confirmed individually.
Spindle Components ↗
How is a spindle component matched to a spinning machine?
Selection requires machine or spindle identification, mating dimensions and operating requirements. Visual similarity alone cannot establish interchangeability.
What should I include in a Spindle Components RFQ?
Please include: Machine manufacturer/model, spindle or part reference, drawing or dimensions, operating conditions and quantity. Exact selection and availability are confirmed individually.
Textile Bearings & Rollers ↗
Are textile roller bearings interchangeable by outer diameter alone?
No. Shaft interfaces, widths, fit, machine application and bearing or roller geometry must be checked.
What should I include in a Textile Bearings & Rollers RFQ?
Please include: Bearing/roller designation, machine model, shaft and housing dimensions, drawing or sample and quantity. Exact selection and availability are confirmed individually.
Textile Paper Cones ↗
Which measurements matter for a textile paper cone?
Inner and outer diameters at both ends, axial length, wall thickness and taper must be checked against the winding process. Surface finish and identification printing can also matter.
What should I include in a Textile Paper Cones RFQ?
Please include: Drawing or sample, all end diameters, axial length, taper, yarn/application, surface, printing and quantity. Exact selection and availability are confirmed individually.
Paper Cores & Tubes ↗
What specifies an industrial paper core or tube?
Inner diameter, length, wall thickness and intended winding or packaging use are key selection parameters. Required mechanical performance must be confirmed per construction.
What should I include in a Paper Cores & Tubes RFQ?
Please include: Inner diameter, length, wall thickness, core application, load/handling requirements and order quantity. Exact selection and availability are confirmed individually.
Yarn Carriers & Cheese Tubes ↗
How do I identify a suitable yarn carrier?
Carrier geometry must fit the yarn-processing method and winding equipment. Provide the current carrier dimensions or a sample for technical comparison.
