The use of automated reeling equipment allows Kraig Labs to fine-tune and adapt the reeling process specifically for the unique properties of spider silk, compared to traditional silkworm silk. By modifying machine settings, reeling speeds, and temperatures, the team is optimizing fiber consistency and maximizing silk output. These improvements are critical in translating the natural strength and elasticity of spider silk
into finished materials for commercial applications.
“This successful automated reeling run demonstrates our ability to enhance fiber quality, adapting existing production capacity for spider silk manufacturing,” said Jon Rice, COO of Kraig Labs. “Our team is making continuous refinements to tailor the reeling equipment for spider silk, and we’re already seeing how those adjustments lead to better, more consistent fibers.”
Automated reeling replaces
conventional multi-end systems, significantly improving throughput, labor efficiency, and downstream silk quality. The compatibility of Kraig Labs’ proprietary spider silk cocoons with these advanced systems is central to the Company’s effort to build a vertically integrated production model for spider silk at scale.
This achievement builds upon recent operational momentum, including the expansion of rearing capacity in Asia and the development of new spider silk strains.
Together, these advances support the Company’s broader mission to bring high-performance, eco-friendly spider silk fibers to market.
