If you could replace that motor with something faster, then you might perform better. This is all assuming that the one (keyang) motor is entirely responsible for removing the slack.

By the way, this is one of my favorite concepts. It simple, elegant, and can be extreme effective (see 20).
For perspective, our fabric spool is driven by two CIMs at a ~8:1 reduction and it takes about 2.5 seconds to empty. We're going to try lowering the reduction on Thursday and see if we can't get away with making it faster.
