AK DUO Pro 14mm Kreoho® stands out for the versatility of its Cut & Loop Pile system, which allows both cut pile and loop pile textures to be created using a single machine. This dual functionality makes it possible to experiment with different textures, alternating soft, voluminous surfaces with more compact and structured finishes, expanding creative possibilities when making rugs, wall hangings and decorative textile projects.

The 120W Brushed DC motor and adjustable speed from 6 to 30 stitches per second allow the working pace to be adapted to the specific requirements of each project. The ability to adjust the pile height from 8mm to 18mm in Cut Pile mode and from 6mm to 16mm in Loop Pile mode provides greater control over the final result, making it possible to create surfaces with different thicknesses, raised details and tactile effects.

The mechanical structure with gear drive system and ergonomic handle support stable and controlled operation during use. Thanks to the combination of dual operating modes, adjustable speed and customizable pile height, the AK DUO Pro 14mm offers a versatile solution for textile artists, designers and tufting enthusiasts, suitable for creating both large surfaces and more detailed decorative designs.

The AK DUO Pro 14mm allows the pile height to be adjusted from 8mm to 18mm in Cut Pile mode and from 6mm to 16mm in Loop Pile mode. It is recommended to maintain the original configuration unless specific working requirements call for adjustments. Any modifications must be carried out exclusively in accordance with the technical instructions provided for this model.

Switching between Cut Pile and Loop Pile requires mechanical adjustment. Before performing any work on the machine, it is essential to switch it off, disconnect it from the power supply and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop.

The machine must only be used with fabrics suitable for tufting, properly tensioned on the frame. Insufficient fabric tension, forced movement or an incorrect working position may compromise the quality of the work and cause mechanical malfunctions.

The package includes a metal spring balancer attachment, which allows the machine to be connected to a compatible suspension system. The spring balancer supports part of the machine's weight during operation, helping to reduce fatigue in the arms, wrists and hands during extended working sessions. The spring balancer is not included in the package and can be purchased separately.

What is the difference between Cut Pile and Loop Pile?

The Cut Pile mode cuts the yarn during tufting, creating a soft and voluminous surface. The Loop Pile mode keeps the yarn in loops, producing a more compact and structured surface. The AK DUO Pro 14mm allows both techniques to be performed using a single machine.

What is the adjustable pile height range?

In Cut Pile mode, the pile height can be adjusted from 8mm to 18mm. In Loop Pile mode, the adjustment range is between 6mm and 16mm. Before making any adjustments, it is important to consult the technical instructions for the model.

Is the AK DUO Pro 14mm suitable for beginners?

Yes. The adjustable speed from 6 to 30 stitches per second allows you to start at a slower working pace and gradually increase it as you gain experience. However, it is important to become familiar with the machine's operation and the correct procedures for use and maintenance.

Which yarns can I use?

The machine can be used with yarns suitable for tufting, including acrylic, wool and other compatible fibres. The choice of yarn and the number of strands depend on their thickness, the desired density and the characteristics of the project. Before starting a complete project, it is advisable to test the yarn on a small area.

Can I use two strands at the same time?

Both Kreoho® yarns and Tufting Machines are optimised for single-strand use, delivering excellent results with less yarn waste. If you prefer to work faster using two strands, you can! The important thing is that the needle opening is correctly adjusted to accommodate the combined thickness of the yarns: it should not be too narrow, to prevent jamming, or too wide, to prevent the yarn from slipping out of the needle during tufting. If necessary, you can manually adjust and adapt the diameter of the needle opening.

How do I adjust the machine's speed?

The AK DUO Pro 14mm features an integrated speed controller that allows you to adjust the operating speed from 6 to 30 stitches per second. To gain better control, it is advisable to start at a lower speed and increase it gradually.

Does the machine require maintenance?

Yes. The AK DUO Pro 14mm requires regular cleaning and lubrication of the mechanical components specified in the manual. Before use, check that the moving parts are properly lubricated and that there is no build-up of fibres or yarn residue. All maintenance must be carried out with the machine switched off and disconnected from the power supply.
