Tandem Needle Loom Overview

Double-Sided Reinforcement

Needles the nonwoven from both sides to improve reinforcement efficiency.

Flexible Needling Stage

Suitable for pre-needling, main needling or surface finishing.

Two- or Four-Board Options

The machine can be configured with two or four needle boards.

Key Features

01

Two- or Four-Board Configuration

Needle-board configuration can be selected according to the needling requirement.

02

Large-Box Machine Structure

The machine uses a large-box structure with a circulating oil lubrication system.

03

High Stroke Frequency

The drive is designed for high-frequency needling with effective heat dissipation.

04

One-Piece Aluminum Needle Beam

The integrated aluminum needle beam helps maintain consistent needle penetration depth.

Suitable Fibers & Applications

The Tandem Needle Loom processes formed nonwoven fiber webs or batts.

Suitable Fibers

  • Final needle-board arrangement and needling stage should be selected according to the finished material and reinforcement requirement.

Typical Applications

  • Pre-needling
  • Main needling
  • Surface needling
  • Geotextile
  • Automotive nonwovens
  • Filter felt
  • Needle punched carpet

Tandem Needle Loom Production Process

Batt Feeding Double-Sided Needle Punching Finishing / Winding

The highlighted stage shows where the Tandem Needle Loom is used within the nonwoven production process. The exact upstream and downstream equipment depends on the finished product and line configuration.

Tandem Needle Loom machine

The formed nonwoven web passes through the tandem needling section and is reinforced from both sides. Depending on configuration, the machine can be used at the pre-needling, main-needling or surface-finishing stage.
