During the production, if a sufficient amount of water and oil isn’t used in preparing the fibers, or the spinning machines are not adjusted in a principled way, carpets start to make pile. Also, if they do not use starch and the temperature is not constant, the carpet pile will be much more than normal.
How to avoid machine made carpet from pile
In the spinning stage, while weaving machine made carpets, the appropriate temperature should be adjusted so that the carpet has a proper starch and prevents making multiple pile.
Density and amount of carpet combs
When the carpet comb is higher or denser, the pile will be reduced; Therefore, it is better to buy carpets with high density and comb to avoid having more pile.
As mentioned, if you walk a lot on machine made carpets, especially when they are brand new, there will be more pile. Excessive walking on carpets can cause pile, even on handmade carpets, but it is more common on machine made carpets.
