Tufting technology
Tufting employs a backing (web or woven fabric). Pile yarn is brought onto this backing. Basically, the various designs are manufactured with the following four methods:
Loop Pile
in loop pile fabric, the carpet surface consists of individual needle loops.
Cut Pile
For cut pile, needle loops are cut open with a special cutting system in an additional work step.
Cut Loop
At normal yarn tension, a combination of cut and loop pile results in a high cut pile, and at high tension in a low loop pile.
Level Cut Loop
A special combination of loop- and cut-pile fabric is manufactured with air-controlled loopers.
