New Production Line for FOSS FLOORS, Rome, Georgia, USA

FOSS Floors, a specialist in needled carpeting, has ordered a new production line from DiloGroup. This will be become the 4th complete DILO line to further enlarge the production capacity of FOSS Floors.

In recent years, FOSS Floors has become a major player in this sector of DI-LOOP carpeting to include structured surfaces in rib and patterned quality. Mainly because of high quality requirements for the carpet product and a wide range of modern design patterns, needlefelt floor covering appeals greatly to architects and contractors for homes and commercial buildings. The range of aesthetically unique patterns and colours impresses by its tastefulness and timeless designs. The aim of gaining highly efficient additional capacity corresponds to a high demand for this particular carpeting from FOSS Floors.

DiloGroup has engineered this latest high-tech production system as a team together with FOSS, tailor-made for their needs. It will have a large production capacity at high fibre throughput rates, comprising fully automatic fibre opening and blending from Dilo Temafa, carding from Dilo Spinnbau in a wide working width, high-speed crosslapping as well as preand finish needling, designed for final product widths over 6 m. The specialty DI-LOOP machine with high-speed feature in a working width of 6.5 m will complete this production plant for the DI-LOOP carpet sector.

The total plant is to be delivered, assembled and commissioned by DiloGroup as general contractor.
