Hollow Needle
Create one-of-a-kind rugs and broadloom carpets
Produce one-of-a-kind luxury loop-pile carpet
Modra’s Hollow Needle Mtuft enables you to control multiple yarns through a single, hollow needle to create uniquely patterned rugs and broadloom carpets.
Its interface lets you enter simple patterns and needle-shift profiles quickly and easily or import more complex patterns in a range of formats.
Features:
- Powerful software to control gauge, stitch rate and pile heights
- Loop pile construction only
- Two machine sizes – 4m or 5m product width
- Yarn is fed through a single, hollow needle. It can be either single yarn feed or dual yarn feed
- Touch screen interface with Microsoft windows OS
- End out detection system for end outs as well and yarn wraps as well as individual sensors for yarn break detection
- Rear take-up roller
Benefits
Produce one-of-a-kind luxury loop-pile carpet that can then be sheared to create tip-shear and cut-loop effects.
- Developed as a production machine, suitable for rugs and broadloom
- Single needle machine, up to 4 ends of yarn at once. This gives you the opportunity to mix different yarns – wool and silk for example, to create a unique product.
- Final product has more of a hand-made, custom feel to it
- Copes very well with course yarn and large gauges and will be faster than the Mtuft
- Unique patterns possible using multiple pile heights, shift effects, tip shearing,
- Utilise yarn that might otherwise be waste – leftover from larger product runs
- Suitable for course yarn and large gauges
- Simple machine, software driven and requires very few mechanical adjustments
- Once set up, it is capable of running unattended
