Standard

Comprising around 120 needle systems in up to thirty different versions, the EISBÄR by Groz-Beckert range is ideally suited to meet the needs of the carpet manufacturing industry.

These, and the requirements of the corresponding machine manufacturers, provide the basis for the selection of appropriate needle types, all of which are made to the highest standards of quality.

The numerous options available, such as BIAS (B), versions with a particularly large take-off (F), point groove (P) and WRONZ (Z), to mention only a few, fulfil all the conditions for the faultless interplay of the needle, hook, reed finger and, if applicable, knife, in the tufting process.

Continuous improvements and new developments in this field ensure that the carpet manufacturer’s end product conforms to consistently high standards of quality.

Special Yarn Protection (WRONZ)

The secret of needles with a special yarn protection groove (WRONZ) is the reduced deflection of thread resulting in a higher degree of process reliability.

On the back stroke of the needle bar, with a standard needle, the yarn what is strongly tightened will be extremely deflected. The movement between needle and yarn causes the yarn to twist up respectively to twist off. This may create problems in loop-catching.

Yarn ends connected by knots and latexjoints are creating bulges. The special yarn protection enables a smooth passage of the bulge through the eye.

Fernmaster^® Needle / Double Eye Needle

The Fernmaster^® needle is the result of a mutual research and development of EISBÄR by Groz-Beckert, WRONZ and Wools of New Zealand.

For the first time, the developers have succeeded in achieving the perfect guidance of the yarn by the groove and the upper eye:

The advantages of the Fernmaster^® needle are:

• Improved levelness of the carpet structure.
• Smaller stitch holes in the primary backing lead to a higher tensile strength.
• Up to 38% saving in energy through the considerable reduction in the needle penetration forces required.
