Velour Needle Loom

The velour needle loom is a needle punching machine built to raise a soft, velvety pile on nonwoven fabric. Barbed fork or crown needles push fiber loops through a brush-covered bed plate; as the needles drive fibers against the brush, some are pulled partway through and form a raised pile or looped texture. It is a finishing step that adds softness and visual appeal to products headed for automotive interiors, flooring and decorative uses.

Because penetration and needle type can be controlled across the fabric width, the loom produces either a uniform pile or a patterned one. That covers everything from a plain velvety finish to more deliberate surface effects for technical and decorative textiles. The brush bed supports the web gently, so the surface comes out smooth and mark-free.

Mechanically it is built for precise, high-strength needling: double crank shafts, aluminum alloy needle frames and a brush conveyor system. Circulating oil lubrication and cooling hold operating temperatures steady and reduce wear over long runs. Mark-free stripping releases the web cleanly from the needles, dual cleaning systems keep the brush and machine clean, and a PLC with touch screen lets operators monitor, adjust and save parameters for repeatable production. It is also called a random velour, structuring or pile needleloom depending on the effect.
