At Domotex, Van de Wiele will offer a full range of carpet solutions. The latest developments in carpet weaving, tufting and yarn extrusion will be presented on the Van de Wiele booth.
Quality carpets start with quality yarn. Therefore, Van de Wiele has invested heavily in the development of BCF extrusion lines with the goal of providing
multi polymer machines for polypropylene, polyester and polyamide yarns. With the Van de Wiele designed texturing unit, high bulk yarn is extruded. This allows weaving carpets with a perfect pile surface at low weight, resulting in cost reduction without loss of quality. Van de Wiele understands adding value to the yarn from experience gained from the weaving and tufting processes. Extruded yarn can be immediately tested on Van de Wiele weaving and tufting machines providing instant results on quality improvement.
In carpet weaving, an additional segment in high quality, hand-look carpets has been added by crossing the last frontier of densities: from reed 1000 d/m to densities up to 1200d/m. Van de Wiele will present hand-look carpets with a perfect back side in reed densities up to 1200 d/m. This increase in reed density gives the carpet an even finer backside with perfect pile fixation and endless design possibilities. These high-density hand-look carpets are all woven on the HCiX2 Hand-look Carpet innovator-weaving machine with 3 rapier technology, providing 50% more production compared to a two rapier machine. Whether combining cut pile with ground effects or weaving lightweight hand look carpets, the Tapestry Rug innovator TRi02 is the ideally versatile machine to produce light carpets up to 3m wide in a cost efficient manner. Samples from the Universal Cut-Loop innovator UCi03 in reed 500d/m, the Rug & Carpet innovator RCi in both 2 and 3-rapier execution, Killim and other carpet qualities will also be on display. For tufting, Van de Wiele relies on the know-how of Cobble, combined with technological advances coming from carpet weaving. The focus for tufting is moving from mechanical components towards electronic drives and motors. The goals are to improve the user interface and to increase machine flexibility, all driven by Van de Wiele Innovation through Creativity.
