Home Textile Spreading System

What the Home Textile Spreading System does

A fabric spreading machine lays fabric back and forth along a table into a flat, even, multi-ply lay, so the cutting table can then cut many plies at once. The FK Group Home Textile Spreader is built for the wide, heavy fabric that home-textile plants run: it works at 300 and 320 cm widths, lays up to 18 cm high (14 cm with the zig-zag device), and reaches a spreading speed of around 80 m/min. A reinforced floor-mounted roll loader takes rolls up to 200 kg and 50 cm in diameter.

Buyers know this machine by several names. It answers searches for a home textile spreading machine, an automatic fabric spreader, a curtain or mattress fabric spreading machine, a cloth spreading machine and a fabric laying machine. If you searched for any of those, this is the machine that does the work.

Built for wide home-textile fabric

A spreader is the first half of a spread-and-cut line. The Home Textile Spreader pairs with an FK Group cutting table so wide furnishing fabric is laid evenly and then cut automatically, with no hand spreading or hand marking in between. A patented cradle with individually tensioned belts feeds the fabric gently, and an anti-sinking catcher mechanism supports delicate fabric so it does not drop or distort as it spreads.

An operator riding platform lets the machine run semi-automatically or automatically, with or without an operator on board. An automatic threading control unit speeds up loading a new roll, and 4-wheel drive carries the head smoothly across the full 320 cm width. Installed power is 3.2 kW with average consumption around 2.4 kW, so a wide machine still runs at low cost.

Automatic spreading vs manual hand spreading

Home-textile rooms move from manual spreading for output and accuracy. Spreading wide fabric by hand is slow, stretches the material, and lets plies drift out of line, so parts cut from that lay come out distorted or short. The Home Textile Spreader lays each ply at a controlled tension, aligned to the selvedge with infrared photocells, and builds a tall lay quickly.

• Consistent tension: electronic control lays fabric without stretching, so parts cut true to size.
• Aligned plies: infrared selvedge alignment keeps edges square through the whole lay.
• Gentle on delicate fabric: the patented cradle and anti-sinking catcher protect light furnishing fabric.
• Output: a lay up to 18 cm high at 320 cm wide is built quickly to keep a cutter fed.
• Wide format: 300 and 320 cm widths suit curtain, mattress and quilt fabric.

Industries that use the Home Textile Spreading System

Any plant that spreads wide fabric before cutting is a fit. FK Group lists the Home Textile Spreader across:

• Home textiles and bedding: curtains, mattress covers, quilts and wide furnishing fabric.
• Curtain and drapery makers: wide decorative and blackout fabric laid square for cutting.
• Mattress and quilt producers: tall lays of cover and ticking fabric.
• Furniture and upholstery: sofa, seating and home-furnishing fabric.
• Apparel cutting rooms: tall garment lays where a wide spreader suits the fabric.
• Technical and coated fabric: wider material that needs laying without distortion.

Why source the Home Textile Spreading System through Magnum

Because a spreader is only half of a spread-and-cut line, it pays to buy it from someone who knows the cutter too. Magnum is FK Group's authorised India distributor, so we can match the spreader to your fabric, width and lay height, and to the cutting table that follows it. The factory has built this equipment in Italy since 1961. We arrange the shipment and customs, install the machine, and train your team, then handle service and spares from here.
