Danley pioneers novel applications for tufting technology

摘要

Phil Owen visited Danley Engineering Services where he learnt how the company had adapted its expertise in carpet tufting to help develop two novel production methods for technical products: a geotextile and an artificial ski slope. Two novel technical textile production methods have been developed by a UK engineering company that normally specializes in technology for the production of carpets and rugs. The carpet tufting technique, in which needles plant yarn into a base substrate, is now being applied, for the first time, to the production of fabrics for demanding geotextile and high-performance applications, thanks to pioneering work by Danley Engineering Services, of Great Harwood, near Blackburn, Lancashire.
