Abstract
An improved strander, and methods of operating the same, alternately delivers material into a housing element through at least two feeding points so that material fed through the first feeding point can be stranded during movement of the housing element in a first direction. Material fed into the strander through the second feeding point can be stranded by the housing element on its return movement in a second direction. Thus, the stranding process can continue nearly continuously throughout each working cycle.
