Delivering the proven ALPHA series of machines around the World; Schönherr carpet systems is renowned as the supplier of the most flexible carpet weaving machines available. Schönherr carpet machines provide maximum flexibility in the production of single or double pile or bouclé carpets. Double rapier carpet weaving machines are available to industry with Staubli eccentric or dobby machines and Jacquard machines.
The binding possibilities supported by Schönherr carpet weaving machines are nearly unlimited. With the cam motion, one to four different ground weaves can be combined with several pile weave structures. A huge variety of carpet quali- ties can be manufactured on the ALPHA 360, ALPHA 400, or ALPHA 500 series machines.Thanks to this diversity, carpet weavers can react very flexibly to market demand – and create innovative prod- ucts that keep them one step ahead.
Illustrated below are just a few examples of the wide range of possibilities:
Standard: Two-weft weave structure for highest productivity, pile knots on each weft.
Mega: Carpet with different effects, especially double pile. The double pile can be woven over the outer wefts only, or over the outer and inner wefts.
Premia: Carpet with different effects like double-pile, pattern on the ground, or reduction of pile row density, resulting in a kind of shadow effect.
Structure: Carpet with different effects like double pile, triple pile pattern on the ground, or patterning in the carpet back.
Single: The characteristic of this technology is that pile knops are created on every weft. Extremely high pile row densities can be woven with this technology.
Loop: Loop carpet that can be produced using woven-through or nonwoven-through techniques.
Reverse: Sisal-look carpet that is usable on both sides; the carpet back is the negative of the face.
Sisal: Sisal-look carpet with different floating effects over one or more wefts, preferably woven with thick BCF yarns.
Magic Weft Effect: Innovative patterns on the carpet ground can be produced with this weave structure. Different weft yarns (colors) are visible along one pick line.
