INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS CONTINUOUS TUFTING FRAME (CTF).? A Tufting Frame on which we made long length

carpet without any sort of difficulties. CTF is a machine on which tracing of design, tufting and latexing with secondary backing is done in a single stage. Hence this tufting frame is used for high production of long length carpet as it eliminates the extra time consumed in change processes.

CONVENTIONAL TUFTING

Conventionally rectangular tufting frames are used for holding the cloth on which pile yarn tufts are inserted. The design is traced on the tufting cloth. After tufting latexing with secondary and third backing is done.

The process is distinctly discontinuous and not suitable for long length of carpet, that is for hotel, alley and airport, etc.

PROJECTION OF CTF

ADVANTAGES

• ANY REQUIRED LENGTH OF CARPET MAY BE PRODUCED

• LESS CONSUMPTION OF LATEX AS COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL METHOD

• STRETCHING OF PRIMARY CLOTH IS WELL MAINTAINED

• REQUIRED LESS SPACE AS THE TRACING, TUFTING AND LATEXING ARE DONE IN A SINGLE STAGE

DISADVANTAGE OF CTF

• INITIAL COST IS VERY HIGH• ADDITIONAL DEVICE IS REQUIRED FOR DRYING

PURPOSE SUCH AS SOLAR DRYER OR SOLAR HEATER ETC.
