Shearing and Surface Cutting Equipment
topic
Shearing machines pass fabric under rotating spiral blade shears that trim protruding pile fibres or surface nap to uniform height with precision settings of 0.5 to 10 millimetres cut height, producing the even pile surface of velvet, carpet, and fleece fabrics after raising, with cross-cutting and pattern shearing variants creating sculptured pile effects by cutting to different heights in defined design areas using shaped backing plates.
Role
Produces the uniform pile height surface quality of velvet, fleece, and pile fabric products by precisely cutting raised or woven pile fibres to a consistent height that defines the characteristic smooth appearance of these fabric categories, with shearing precision and blade condition being the primary quality parameters governing pile uniformity and the absence of surface defects from uneven shearing that detract from premium pile fabric appearance.
