Velour Loom Brush

Product Overview: Essential Velour Brush for Superior Pile Formation

Achieve a consistent, high-quality velour finish with our precision-engineered Velour Needle Loom Brush. This critical component is designed specifically for raising the fiber ends during the nonwoven needle punching process, directly influencing the pile height, uniformity, and overall hand-feel of the final fabric. It is indispensable for producing premium automotive interiors, synthetic leather, upholstery fabrics, and high-end geotextiles that demand a superior surface.

Function & Working Principle: How the Velour Brush Works

Following the needle punching action, the fabric passes under the rotating velour brush. The brush’s precisely arranged Nylon 612 bristles gently lift and align the fiber ends that have been partially entangled by the needles. This raising action transforms a flat needled web into a fabric with a uniform, raised pile surface, which is the defining characteristic of velour nonwovens. Proper use protects felting needles by preventing fiber wrap and reduces needle breakage.

Installation for Optimal Raising Effect

Correct installation is crucial to prevent fabric marking and ensure a uniform pile.

• Stake Alignment:Mounting stakes must be perfectly level and consistently spaced.
• Brush Alignment:Install the brush carefully to avoid misalignment (“teeth biting teeth”), which can cause arching and result in uneven, striped fabric surfaces.
• Pre-Operation Check:Manually rotate the installed brush to ensure it runs true without any wobble or arching before securing it and starting production.

Operational, Care & Maintenance Guide

Maximize brush life and fabric quality by following these guidelines:

Critical Operation Rules

• Temperature:Operate in environments below 45°C to maintain bristle elasticity and effectiveness.
• Needle Condition:Replace broken needles immediately. A broken needle can pierce and shred bristles, ruining the brush.
• Duty Cycle:Allow for bristle recovery; avoid continuous operation exceeding 20 hours per day.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Clean the brush when loose fibers accumulate to prevent hardening and impaired raising performance.
• For thorough cleaning, remove brushes individually. This also allows for rotational repositioning to promote even wear.

Brush Usability Checklist

Your brush is still effective if:

1. Bristles remain straight and upright,
2. They retain sufficient hardness and spring,
3. No significant gaps are present when mounted,
4. The brush surface is even.

This Velour Needle Loom Brush is a vital finishing tool that directly defines the surface quality of your nonwoven fabric. By ensuring precise fiber raising, it helps you produce consistent, high-value velour products while protecting your needle investment and reducing production downtime.
