DOMOTEX 2015 Hannover, Germany International trade fair for the carpet and floor coverings industry 17-20 January 2015 Van de Wiele continues its development in cut-loop carpets in reed 500 d/m with 8 colours on the Universal Cut Loop Innovator UCi03. The UCi03 is the most versatile weaving machine which combines face-to-face cut pile, short loops, long loops and flat weave. Filling effects, up to 2x3 fillings are possible.The introduction of servo drive technology has been implemented in the new generation of tapestry and velvet looms. Tapestry carpets with jacquard flat weave in combination with cut pile are woven in open harness on the Tapestry Rug Innovator TRi02. With two independent servo driven jacquard machines, any pile or ground effect can be woven on any position. In combination with a filling selector, it is possible to weave really fine and colourful products. A new development is the use of loops in between the cut pile zones to get a crystal sharp colour change.With the handlook carpets, the excellence in design fineness will be shown in reed 1000 d/m. Unique and amazing handlook carpets in 10 colours and reed 1000 d/m are presented for the first time.The Handlook Carpet Innovator HCi X2 can weave carpets up to 2.800.000 points/m². Different piles as acrylic, polyester, viscose, bamboo or wool are possible. Perfect pile fixation, clear backside,natural fringes by warp or filling, carpet easy to fold ,it is a perfect look-a-like handmade carpet. The HCi X2 is a three rapier machine, inserting each machine cycle three fillings and at the end of the day,giving 50% more carpets compared to a two rapier machine. Depending of the reed density, the Handlook Carpet Innovator HCi X2 is available in up to 20 colours.For more information on woven and tufted carpets, other carpet qualities such as kilim and shadow carpets, extrusion lines, … welcome you on booth C55 Hall 5.
SES nano filtrate material study by XP Wu at the 12th Asia Textile Conference
In this report, the Polylactic acid (PLA)-based membrane is manufactured by electronspinning. The specific characteristics of the nano-fibrous membrane, which has an ultra-high BET surface area with fine and uniform pores, are applied in a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. However, because of the lower strength of nano-fibrous membrane, a new type of HEPA, which combines the spun-bond nonwoven, is devised as a reinforcement material. It is a multi-layer, filterable material, named Spunbond-Electronspun-Spunbond (SES) composite membrane. In this work, the self-build rotating collector of the electron-spinning facility is used to vary the various parameters of the applied voltage, the concentration of the dopants and the internal diameter of the needles. The variation in the morphology of the nano-fibrous membrane, the fiber fineness and the mean distribution of the fiber diameter are observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The filtration efficiency of the SES composite membrane is then evaluated using an automated filter tester, TSI 3160. The initial results show that by controlling the experimental parameters a very good SES composite membrane is produced, which removes 99.71% of 0.3 μm airborne particles.
