Tufting Machine Models:-
The production capacity of each machine is dependent on the type of machine and the stitch rate. As a rough guide a 16 needle x 3/16 inch(5 mm) gauge machine is capable of producing 15 square metres per hour. A 12 needle x 3/16 inch(5 mm) gauge machine is capable of producing 12 square metres per hour. Other factors obviously include the skill of the operator, especially for curved rugs and mats.
We can turn the maximum tufting width up to 2 1/2 inches in a 12 needle machine. As an illustration a 12 needle by 3/8 inch (10mm ) gauge machine would produce 4 1/8 inch (105 mm) tufting width and would only be suitable for straight line tufting.
