Bolster Your Operation with Our Felt-Making Equipment

Introducing the FeltLOOM®, a revolutionary device that’s sweeping the textile industry. Our unique piece of felt-making equipment empowers the user more than other industry-approved machines, allowing them to create new, unique textile materials.

Through the use of a series of motor-driven needle plates that feature hundreds of felting needles, fibers get felted together through repetitive needle strokes through the material of choice. Using this simple technique, users can create a virtually limitless amount of textiles.

With owners in 17 different countries, in countless different types of industries, we continue to be surprised at the new applications and discoveries that they’re finding new uses for our textile manufacturing machine. Whatever industry you work in, we hope that our user-friendly felting machine will serve you well in your respective market. Reach out to our knowledgeable specialists with any questions you may have about our systems to see if our equipment will satisfy your production needs.

5. Variable Speeds

Both the rollers and needles can be independently controlled, allowing the fabric to move through the FeltLOOM® at a defined rate from 0% – 100%. Fabric can be stopped and restarted in place, slowed down, or sped up during the felting process. This feature, combined with the full variable needle speed, allows the operator to control the density of the needle punches. This helps in building designs so that the first few runs can be slow, and then when the design is complete, the speed can run faster to tighten the fabric.

7. Needle Density

Needle density is six rows per 6” needle board segment, 72 needles per segment on all models, except on the 36” model, which has 46 needles. This gives maximum needle penetration and maximum punches per inch. Through rigorous testing of engineering models, we found the optimum needle density required for the longer staple length used by many fiber artists. Needles are also varied in position and do not line up in straight lines, preventing a ‘corduroy’ effect and creating consistently strong, stable felt.

Depending on the type of fiber used, the density of the fabric can give the finished textile certain desirable properties such as fluid absorbency, heat-resistance, durability, sound absorbency, and much more.

Fashion

Textile-production can be an incredibly time-consuming process. Our felt-making equipment allows for a substantially faster production time when compared to other techniques. Moreover, our needle felting machines are also capable of processing fibers in a new and innovative ways.

When you’re interested in fabric repurposing, you can use our FeltLOOM to create extraordinary non-woven textiles and felt together combinations of both woven and non-woven fabrics and fibers. Few other textile-creation machines available today offer designers as many different ways to combine materials.

Farm

Animal fiber farmers have always dealt with the problem being unable to find a technique that’s fast enough to carry their fibers over into finished goods. The FeltLOOM®, a user-friendly felting machine the solution.

Our product processes virtually any type of animal fiber, making it a must-have tool for any fiber breeder’s facility. It gives you the unique opportunity to have complete control over their production, from shearing the fibers to the finished product.
