Number of Participant at ITM, Good Sign for Market
Head of Marketing Communications at Van de Wiele, Danny Bourgois
Van de Wiele which developed technical fabrics and weaving machines in carpet and velvet areas introduced the world`s first 3-meter plain and jacquard velvet machine Velvet Smart Innovator VSI at ITM 2018.
The main features of the Velvet Smart Innovator VSi machine, which is the first in the world; parallel reed motion, reinforced cross members, single beams over the full width and up to 24 servo driven smart frames.
The new showpiece in carpet weaving is the “HCiX2” in reed 1500 dents per meter, 8 colour frames (1500/8). This high density carpet weaving machine, available in 3 and 4 meters width, is able to weave carpets with up to 5 million points per square meter, creating niche high end products. The same machine is able to weave carpets in reed 750 dents per meter, with 16 colour frames.
The HCiX2 is perfectly suited for picture weaving: instead of the traditional labor-intensive designing of woven carpet, a photo-realistic picture is processed in real time and converted to a design that fits the weaving machine. The HCiX2 is also available in the common configurations 1200/8, 1000/10, 1000/8…
Head of Marketing Communications at Van de Wiele, Danny Bourgois expressed their pleasure to be attending ITM 2018 with a wide range of machines in the carpet weaving production including tufting machines, finishing machines and jacquard machines.
Danny Bourgois noted his expectations and impressions from the first day of the exhibiton: “The expectation of the companies is to make a good impression with a range of machines that we sell in The turkish market and abroad. We want to convince the customers that we are still at the top of the market of textile machine. My first impression from the first day of the exhibiton is there are much more people then during the previous exhibition. It’s a good sign anyway for the Turkish market and the market in general.”
