1. Triple rapier weaving technique “Carpet & Rug Pioneer” CRP93
The triple rapier is the most flexible and productive carpet weaving machine for cut pile carpets adapted for all
weave structures : single, double or three shot weave.
With the triple rapier weaving technique on the “Carpet & Rug Pioneer” CRP93 3 fillings are inserted per weav-
ing cycle. This results in a three shot weave structure, 50 % more productive compared to the three shot weave
structure woven with 2 rapiers.

On the 1st weaving cycle two fillings are inserted for the shed formation of the top carpet. For the
shed formation of the bottom carpet only one filling is inserted into the carpet.

Modular Jacquard - MJ with two driven rost (3 positions).

For the production of triple rapier carpets an electronic 4 positions Jacquardmachine “MJ” with two
driven rosts is used . The back part of the Jacquardmachine is equipped with a driven rost (L) and will
do the incorporation of the bottom carpet (BC). The front part of the Jacquardmachine is equipped
with a driven rost (L/2) and will do the incorporation of the top carpet (TC).

3. Designing

All designs for CRP93 are designed for “ratio 1”. A

design of a carpet is designed on graphted paper.
We distinguish dentlines in vertikal direction and
colorlines in horizontal direction. The dentlines/cm
are defined by the reed density and the colorlines
are defined by the pick density/cm. As on the 1/2 V-
Ratio 1
weave we are only weaving one tuft per 2 picks,
we shall divide the pick density by 2 to obtain the dentlines
amount of colorlines (=number of pilerows/cm). As colorlines
a design must be designed by proportion, we will
calculate the ratio (or scale). The ratio is calculated
by dividing the number of dentlines by the number
of colorlines or vice versa.

Colorlines/cm > Reed density (d/cm) Ratio (scales)

Colorlines/cm 1 10/10
Reed density (d/cm) 1,11 9/10
1,125 8/9
1,20 12/10
Reed density (d/cm) > Colorlines/cm 1,25 8/10
Reed density (d/cm) 1,43 7/10
Colorlines/cm 1,67 6/10

4. Example
Specifications :
--> CRP93 - 8 frames
--> Reed density : 500/m (= 5,0 dents/cm)
--> Pick density : 5,0 p/cm (= 5,0 colorlines/cm)
--> Dimension carpet : 2,00 x 3,00 m

Ratio design :
--> Number of dentlines : 5,0
--> Number of colorlines : 5,0
--> Ratio : 5,0 / 5,0 = 1,00
dentlines
Ratio : 10/10

Specification carpet 2,00 x 3,00 : colorlines

--> Number of dentlines : 200x5,0x100 = 1000
(-1 return dent is not designed)
X = 999

--> Number of colorlines : 300x5,0x100 = 1500 10

(-1 return colorline is not designed)

5. 1/2 V-weave

Today cheap and medium carpets are woven on double rapier with the 1/2 V-weave. Less pile
and more ground material (backing and jute) are the main caracterestics of this carpet. At the
same time the not selected pile yarns are incorporated in both carpets.

However this fairly old weaving technique was 25 years ago not a succesfull construction, due to
the typical problems of “mix-contours” in the carpet. During a pile switch bottom-top (TB) a half
tuft is been positioned in another color area, as for the bottom , as for the top.
At the same time pile switches bottom-bottom (BB) and top-top (TT) are also causing a lighter
mix-contour known as “double points”. During this switch a half pile tuft of each color is positioned
in between 2 picks. Only the area where the pile switch is done, is causing this problem. The pile
switch in the other carpet is OK.

Mix-contour B&T Double points B Double points T

With the introduction of an electronic Jacquard machine in the early 90’s and the possibility of a
selection pick by pick, we are able to modifie this kind of switches. Pile yarns could be pulled for
the bottom carpet through to the bottom, and for the top carpet through to the top. All kinds of
switches are combined and worked out in different processings. To avoid “mix-contours” is identi-
cal to “remove pile out of the carpet”.

Mix-contours are bad alignments on pile
switches between TC and BC, of pile
yarns which are incorporated in the TC
and pile yarns which are incorporated in
the BC. The position of a half tuft before
a complete tuft in another pila area gives
a mixture in pile surface in the top and
bottom carpet.

6. Van De Wiele rule
Wrong card design

On a pile switch line by line (see 1) or point by point, we can not remove pile out of the carpet.
This means that the mix-contour will be kept inside the carpet. The only solution to improve the
carpet is to adapt the card design with single-double colorlines in order to remove again the mix-
contours.

That’s why Van De Wiele introduced the “Van De Wiele rule “ on card designs. Only horizontal
lines will be designed single-double. This offers the processing an extra colorline to remove the
mix-contours out of the carpet.

Bottom carpet
At the beginning of a carpet, the
pile yarns from the bottom carpet
are coming from the incorporat-
ing position to the top position.
This is creating a bad switch for
the bottom carpet.

A color switch E-B (= empty) is

adjusting this color switch, by
eliminating the first tuft of the bot-
tom carpet.

The end of a carpet for the bot-

tom colors is OK. The pile yarns
are ending from the bottom posi-
tion to the incorporating position.

Top carpet
The start of a carpet for the top
colors is OK. The pile yarns are
starting from the incorporating
position to the top position.

At the end of a carpet, the pile

yarns from the top carpet are
coming from the bottom position
directly to the incorporating posi-
tion. This is creating a bad switch
for the top carpet.

A color switch T-E (= empty) is

adjusting this color switch, by
eliminating the last tuft of the top
carpet.
