New ALPHA 500 carpet weaving system expands Schönherr’s product line

New options such as the “Multi Weft Selector” allowed the introduction of new technologies such as the “Magic Weft Effect,” opening a new world of carpet design possibilities to manufacturers. Carpets with eight colours and reed densities of 900 are no longer a dream; they are now being produced daily – to the full satisfaction of customers.
ALPHA carpet weaving systems are equipped with Stäubli three-position Jacquard machines, a Stäubli dobby or cam motion, and a servo-cutting system. This set-up produces excellent surfaces with no mixed contours and it yields clean carpet backings.
Schönherr (Hall 2, Booth B 15) now announces its new ALPHA 500 carpet weaving system, just before DOMOTEX Hannover 2013. This newly designed machine has a weaving width of five meters. The ALPHA 500 can be equipped with options as its predecessors. In particular a six plus six “Multi Weft Selector” can be adapted, which gives the possibility of up to six different weft yarns for the top as well as for the bottom carpet/rug. This not only makes the new system even more flexible, it raises productivity to unequalled heights.

Like all Schönherr products, the ALPHA 500 is manufactured a hundred percent at the Schönherr factories in Bayreuth and Chemnitz, Germany.
Schönherr, a member of the Stäubli Group, will exhibit its products at DOMOTEX Hannover.
