Fabric Polishing Machine
WPF-TG
Premium Polishing Machine · Engineered with the QL Wide-Contact Deep-Polishing Roller System · 1,800 / 2,000 / 2,200 mm working widths
The machine, up close
Key advantages
- Four spiral grooves and four combing teeth on the polishing roller · 1∶1 synchronised configuration — the teeth straighten the pile to its root, the heated roller follows with the polishing pass: one process, deep and lasting lustre
- Twin fabric-carrier-belt felt rollers · process-adjustable wide-contact zone — the fabric-to-roller contact area is precisely tunable to the process requirement; the maximum contact area substantially exceeds that of conventional domestic polishing machines, delivering deeper lustre and a more refined polishing result
- Twin-roller parallel felt-blanket centring — synchronised twin-roller action for fast, responsive correction; eliminates at the root the felt-blanket flaring inherent to single-roller centring systems, substantially extending blanket service life
- Electrically heated roller · twin-probe full-width closed-loop temperature control — primary and secondary probes monitor in parallel for precise, uniform temperature across the entire working width; touchscreen-driven independent regulation prevents the lustre variation caused by local hot or cold spots

QL Wide-Contact Deep-Polishing Roller System
- 1∶1 groove-and-tooth roller surface — four spiral grooves and four combing teeth alternate across the roller; the teeth straighten the pile to its root, the heated roller follows with the polishing pass — one process, deep and lasting lustre
- Twin fabric-carrier-belt felt rollers · process-adjustable wide-contact zone — the fabric-to-roller contact area is precisely tunable to the process requirement; the maximum contact area substantially exceeds that of conventional domestic polishing machines — a wider heat-and-pressure footprint delivers deeper lustre, more stable pile and broader stylistic latitude
- Twin-roller parallel felt-blanket centring — single-roller centring systems chronically cause felt-blanket flaring, accelerated wear and shortened service life; the QL twin-roller synchronised structure removes the cause at its source — substantially extending blanket service life
- Touchscreen + PLC Smart Control System — every machine function is governed by PLC programming, with a variable-frequency drive managing the main motor. Recipe storage and recall, real-time fault diagnostics. Simplified operation, streamlined maintenance.
Product overview
The WPF-TG is engineered for the polishing of woollen fabrics. Its polishing roller carries four spiral grooves and four combing teeth in a 1∶1 synchronised configuration — the teeth comb each fibre straight to its root, then the heated roller surface delivers the polishing pass. One process. Deep, lasting lustre.
The fabric-to-roller contact area is process-adjustable; the maximum contact area substantially exceeds that of conventional domestic polishing machines, delivering deeper lustre and a more refined polishing result.
Suitable for woollen, wool-blend and a wide range of natural and synthetic woven and knitted fabrics. Long-pile woollen fabrics — where deep combing and pile orientation are essential — are the WPF-TG's primary application. A single platform spanning apparel and industrial markets.

Real questions from the mill floor — and how we answer them.
Same woollen cloth, but theirs gleams and mine looks dull with scattered reflection — why?
Depth of lustre comes from combing the pile straight to its root; even reflection comes from a steady temperature across the full width. On the WPF-TG the polishing roller carries four spiral grooves and four combing teeth in a 1∶1 synchronised configuration — the teeth straighten each fibre to its root, the heated roller follows with the polishing pass. Primary and secondary probes monitor in parallel for precise, uniform temperature across the entire working width, preventing the lustre variation caused by local hot or cold spots.
Domestic polishing machines have a small contact area and do not polish through — is WPF-TG genuinely different?
On the WPF-TG the contact area is a process variable, not a fixed limit. Twin fabric-carrier-belt felt rollers make the fabric-to-roller contact area precisely tunable to the process requirement, and the maximum contact area substantially exceeds that of conventional domestic polishing machines. A wider heat-and-pressure footprint delivers deeper lustre, more stable pile and broader stylistic latitude.
The felt blanket keeps wandering, blistering and needing replacement — is that normal?
Frequent replacement usually traces back to the centring system: single-roller centring chronically causes felt-blanket flaring, accelerated wear and shortened service life. The WPF-TG uses twin-roller parallel centring — synchronised twin-roller action gives fast, responsive correction and removes the flaring at its source, substantially extending blanket service life.
How do I choose between 1,800 / 2,000 / 2,200 mm working widths — is wider always better?
Choose by the widest fabric you actually run — wider is not automatically better. The 2,200 mm configuration exists for extra-wide industrial cloth such as billiard cloth; the other two cover conventional fabric widths. Note also that the dimensions in the specification table are based on the 1,800 mm width, so a wider machine changes the floor space you need to allow for.
