Xetma Vollenweider: A provider of carpet finishing solutions

Since more than 160 years, Xetma Vollenweider is developing and manufacturing textile finishing systems with German quality and Swiss precision. The wide and innovative technology portfolio includes the product lines Soft Touch (brushing and emerising), Plush Touch (raising), Even Touch (shearing), Level Touch (carpet shearing, cleaning and finishing), Clean Touch (cloth cleaning).

Accelerated brushing and emerising

The multifunctional X-TREME XEB combines three technologies (emerising, brushing, combined emerising and brushing) in only one machine system and therefore offers the highest flexibility to changing demands of customers and markets. The innovative lightweight construction of the brushing rollers, as well as the installation of a new drive system allow revolutionary production speeds and at the same time a more intensive treatment of the fabric surface.

Expertise in raising and shearing

Ever since the invention of the worlds first raising machines in 1853 by Ernst Gessner, the German founder of the company, Xetma Vollenweider has stood for extraordinary and innovative solutions in the field of raising. Single drum raising machines are customised equipped with 24, 30 or 36 working rollers and are usable for both open width and circular knitwear as well as for woven fabrics.

In the field of shearing Xetma Vollenweider is still a synonym for highest quality, reliability and longevity. This applies to all kinds of textiles – no matter whether low, medium or high pile – even under the greatest strains.

Xetma Vollenweider brand in carpet sector

According to the customers requests and the constant demand for quality-enhancing surface effects on carpets Xetma Vollenweider offers different kinds of carpet finishing solutions for all kinds of textile floor coverings. With a nominal width of up to 6.0 m the carpet shearing machine X-PLORE XCS guarantees best shearing results for all kinds of woven and tufted carpets, needle felts and artificial turf. The extremely precise Heavy Duty Shearing Units are equipped with a hydraulic pressure and lift-up system as well as an integrated dust extraction.

With the aim to expand the market shares – after a very successful relaunch of the X-PLORE XCS carpet shearing systems – Xetma Vollenweider developed the worlds first carpet pile cleaning machine X-TRACT XCP, which reliably removes loose fibre materials and lint from the pile of acrylic, viscose or woollen carpets.

Furthermore the special machine X-CEED XG gives the surface of carpet velours made of acrylic, viscose or other synthetic fibres a unique shine. Depending on the material to be processed, the temperature as well as the wrap of the steam heated glazing cylinder can be easily adjusted.

Cutting of warp threads

Effective from beginning of 2014, Xetma Vollenweider took over the product range of the company HSmmerle, a Austrian manufacturer of float cutting machines and is now offering the whole range of warp and weft float cutting machines as well as cutting machines for jump stitches on embroidery fabrics.

A newly developed warp thread cutting machine will be presented for the first time at the ITMA Asia 2014. Equipped with two opposite and synchronised chains with special designed knives, the threads of embroidery and warp floats of woven or knitted fabrics are cut reliably. A modern drive system as well as a state-of-the-art fabric tension control system allows an optimal fabric run and lower operating costs.
