During a visit to the booth of Vandewiele in Istanbul, Mena Covering spoke with Thomas Beauduin, Vice President of the group, to explore the company’s latest innovations in high-density carpet production.
Innovations in yarn spinning and weaving target premium carpet production markets
Belgian textile machinery leader Vandewiele presented its latest innovations in carpet manufacturing at a recent exhibition in Istanbul, highlighting new developments in yarn spinning and high-density weaving technologies.
With decades of experience in the carpet industry, Vandewiele continues to focus on delivering advanced solutions tailored to key markets, including Iran, which remains one of the world’s most important producers of high-quality carpets.
Redefining yarn spinning for high-density carpets
One of the key highlights of Vandewiele’s presentation was its latest approach to yarn spinning for high-density carpets — a segment where traditional methods have remained largely unchanged for decades.
Building on its investment in Savio, the company has introduced a disruptive air-jet spinning technology, designed to enhance flexibility, efficiency, and product quality.
This system enables the production of multi-colored yarns directly during the spinning process, offering greater design possibilities while maintaining cost efficiency per kilogram.
The technology also supports a wide range of fibers, including acrylic, viscose, polyester, and modal, making it highly adaptable for premium carpet manufacturing.
Combining spinning and weaving for superior results
Vandewiele’s approach goes beyond individual technologies. By integrating its advanced spinning systems with the latest high-density weaving machines, the company delivers a complete solution for carpet producers.
The weaving technology features a four-position Jacquard system, allowing for highly detailed designs not only in the pile but also in the base structure of the carpet. This enables manufacturers to achieve superior design complexity and product differentiation.
Focus on application and key markets
According to Vandewiele, the strength of its innovation lies not only in machinery development, but also in its focus on real-world applications and market needs.
The company continues to invest in solutions specifically designed for high-end carpet production, with particular attention to markets such as Iran, where craftsmanship and design quality are highly valued.
By combining new yarn technologies with advanced weaving capabilities, Vandewiele aims to support manufacturers in producing next-generation carpets that meet evolving global standards.
