Japanese term or phrase: ケンス
This is from a document describing how plastic fibers are made.

押し出した繊維を冷却巻取りケンスに一度保管します。
数量がある程度まとまったら、遠心工程で繊維径を整えます。
その後捲縮付与し繊維長にカットして繊維が完成いたします。

See this link for a diagram of a similar production line:

After the fibers go through the winder (巻取り), they go into the ケンス.

This ケンス looks like a box, and the fibers are dropped down into it.
See this PDF link for a picture of a ケンス and fibers(page 2 of 3, Fig. 1):

Does anyone know what the English term is for this?? Thanks.

Put through the mill
<snip>
In the mid-1990s, the company produced one-piece sliver cans for spinning mills. The devices are large, plastic barrels, 16 to 40 inches around, and 42 to 60 inches tall, often with casters on the bottom. Spinning mills use them to move fiber between finishing processes. A flat plastic platform on a custom-made spring sits in the middle of each can to help the fiber efficiently coil inside and later unwind into high-speed machines.

Skeins ?


Explanation:
I am just assuming that ケンスmay be a misprint, and that the katakana is actually スケンス. It that case, it may be referring to the term "skein".
A skein is a coil of yarn/fibers twisted into a loose knot, as expplained in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_manufacturing

Explanation:
I am not sure if ケンス and bobbins are the same thing. I thought this might give you an idea what to look for.
