A device (1) for manufacturing an unconsolidated textile elongate member (11) comprising:

• a frame (2) comprising a longitudinal main guide (3) in a direction X, said main guide (3) being attached to the frame (2), and
• at least two modules (4) arranged in series around the main guide (3) in direction X, each module (4) comprising:
• a feed ring (5) surrounding a section of the main guide (3),
• feed means (6) arranged on the ring (5), capable of feeding at least one ribbon (10) to the guide (3) at an angle of between −90° and 90° to direction X and at a feed rate V1, each ribbon (10) being capable of winding at least around the guide (3) or onto the upper layer of ribbon (10), and
• means for driving (15) the ring (5) which are capable of rotating the ring (5) around the main guide (3) at a speed of rotation V2.
