At Van de Wiele we live and breath carpet
Van de Wiele Tufting
Van de Wiele has a rich history in providing customers with innovative solutions to manufacture woven carpets. Now, tufting machines are added to the portfolio of carpet machines. Through the acquisition of Cobble, Van de Wiele wants to put its know how gained from weaving into tufting machines by bringing innovation through creativity from weaving to tufting.
Smart Creel Carpet
For Axminster and Wire weaving, Van de Wiele provides the automated Smart Creel where traditional bobbins are replaced by binsets in which the yarn is stored according to the order size. This automated system reduces labour cost, saves raw material and makes shorter production runs economically beneficial. SCC75, the auto-mated carpet creeling solution for Smart Weavers.
Van de Wiele Extrusion
A new area in which Van de Wiele is investing is extrusion. Van de Wiele believes that there are two ways of adding value to the carpet: on the one hand there is the weaving and tufting technique and on the other hand the quality of the yarn. The better the yarn quality, the better the carpet. Van de Wiele believes that there is still space for improvements when it comes to BCF yarn extrusion and heavily invests in developing more efficient extrusion lines to bring innovation to the extrusion process and providing its customers with state of the art BCF extrusion lines.
Van de Wiele Velvet
Van de Wiele is proud to present the next generation of velvet weaving machines: the Velvet Smart innovator. This new VSi range is the result of a customer based demand towards high flexibility, faster running speeds and full electronic control of the weave process with the ultimate goal to allow velvet weavers to react immediately to changes in the market and always stay one step ahead.
With the VSi, Van de Wiele brings its technological experience gained from carpet weaving machines combined with the needs from the velvet industry to this new velvet weaving machine range where flexibility, reliability and full electronic management is key. The VSi is available in 3 executions: Smart Frame velvet (VSi22), jacquard velvet (VSi32) and technical fabrics (VSi42) with endless application possibilities in upholstery, automotive, clothing and technical fabrics.
Smart Creel Velvet
Today, velvet weavers have to combine high design freedom and a diversified product portfolio with low production cost and shorter production runs. When combining the VSi32 with the Smart Creel for Velvet SCV75, those needs are met. On top of that, manpower is saved, raw material wastage is kept to a minimum, colour changes are executed during weaving and the next production run can be prepared without ever stopping the machine.
Technical Fabrics
The percentage of technical fabrics used in the modern production world is increasing signifi-cantly with vast application in different industrial domains: aviation, automotive, aerospace, construction, filtering… The VSi42 is a machine specifically designed for weaving technical fabrics. The possibilities are endless and the full potential of technical fabrics is far from reached. Van de Wiele is the key partner to offer and deliver the customer specific state of the art machinery for all kinds of technical applications.
Simply the best
One year after their successful introduction, the Bonas Si jacquards are already considered to be Simply the best higher hook range jacquards available on the market. Over 100 ma-chines have already been sold and successfully installed world-wide. Not only smaller, lower and lighter, but also faster and more stable than any other comparable jacquard. Due to the development of the new revolutionary micro-selector, the new Bonas Si is the most compact jacquard available in a capacity range from 7,680 to 20,736 hooks, allowing maximum flexibility. The state-of-the-art, 100% electronic micro-selector system allows 100% diagnostics, is 100% impervious to dust and 100% unaffected by temperature, making the micro-selector Simply the best available selection mechanism to date. Perfect regulation, without tilting the jacquard is possible with the unique warp separator.
BONAS once more trendsetter by offering double hook capacity in the most compact jacquard.
Market demands for bigger jacquards. Bonas now offers double hook capacity with drastically reduced jacquard dimensions, including drive mass and total weight. As a result, high hook capacity jacquards at highest production speed are now available, reducing payback time.
BONAS Si paves the way for direct mounting of high hook capacity jacquards.
