The AK DUO Pro 45mm Kreoho® stands out from traditional tufting machines thanks to its ability to create extra-long pile heights of up to 45mm, allowing you to achieve exceptionally voluminous surfaces, three-dimensional textures and deeply textured effects. Its reinforced mechanical structure and 120W motor help ensure stability and consistent performance during tufting, even on projects requiring particularly high pile heights.

The ability to switch between Cut Pile and Loop Pile allows you to experiment with different textures using a single machine. Adjustable pile heights ranging from 35mm to 45mm in Cut Pile mode and from 33mm to 43mm in Loop Pile mode expand creative possibilities compared to traditional short-pile models. The adjustable speed also allows you to adapt the working pace to the requirements of each project, providing greater control when creating intricate details and complex surfaces.

The ergonomic handle and construction specifically designed for Extra High Pile techniques provide a stable grip and controlled machine handling. The AK DUO Pro 45mm is therefore particularly suitable for creating shaggy rugs, three-dimensional textile artworks, and artistic and decorative projects that require volume, depth and versatility.

The Tufting Machine AK DUO Pro 45mm comes with a preset pile height of 40mm. Although the mechanical system allows adjustments ranging from 35mm to 45mm in Cut Pile mode and from 33mm to 43mm in Loop Pile mode, we recommend maintaining the original configuration unless specific project requirements call for adjustments. Any modifications must be carried out strictly in accordance with the technical instructions provided for this model.

Switching between Cut Pile and Loop Pile requires a 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. Extra-long pile techniques require particular attention to yarn compatibility and the correct pressure of the machine against the fabric. Insufficient fabric tension, forced movement or an incorrect working position may compromise the quality of the tufting and cause mechanical malfunctions.

The AK DUO Pro 45mm is equipped with sharp components and moving mechanical parts. It is not a toy and must be kept out of reach of children. Use by minors requires constant supervision by a responsible adult.

Do not use the machine in the presence of water, excessive moisture, damaged cables or operating malfunctions. Cleaning, maintenance and adjustment procedures must only be performed when the machine is switched off and disconnected from the electrical supply.

What is the difference between Cut Pile and Loop Pile?

In Cut Pile mode, the yarn is cut during tufting, creating a soft and particularly voluminous surface. In Loop Pile mode, the yarn remains in loops, producing a more structured and defined surface. The AK DUO Pro 45mm allows you to create both finishes with a single machine, even at high pile heights.

What is the adjustable pile height range?

In Cut Pile mode, the pile height can be adjusted from 35mm to 45mm. In Loop Pile mode, the adjustment range is between 33mm and 43mm. The machine comes with a preset pile height of 40mm. Before making any adjustments, it is important to consult the technical instructions for the model.

Is the AK DUO Pro 45mm suitable for beginners?

The AK DUO Pro 45mm can also be used by those new to tufting, but Extra High Pile techniques require greater attention to fabric tension, yarn feeding and machine movement. If you have never used a tufting machine before, we recommend first becoming familiar with a Standard Pile machine, which is easier to handle when starting out.

Which yarns can I use?

The machine can be used with yarns suitable for tufting, including acrylic, wool and other compatible fibers. For Extra High Pile techniques, it is particularly important that the yarn flows smoothly through the machine's feeding system without excessive friction or tension. Before starting a full project, we recommend testing the machine on a small area.

Can I use two strands of yarn at the same time?

Both the yarns and tufting machines from Kreoho® are optimized 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 to ensure that the needle eye 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 eye.

How do I adjust the machine's speed?

The AK DUO Pro 45mm features an integrated speed controller that allows you to adjust the operating speed from 4 to 25 stitches per second. For better control, we recommend starting at a low speed and gradually increasing it, especially when working with particularly high pile heights.

Does the machine require maintenance?

Yes. The AK DUO Pro 45mm requires regular cleaning and lubrication of the mechanical components specified in the user manual. Before use, check that all moving parts are properly lubricated and that there is no buildup of fibers or yarn residue. All maintenance must be carried out with the machine switched off and disconnected from the power supply.

What is the difference between a Standard Pile and an Extra High Pile machine?

A Standard Pile machine is designed to create surfaces with relatively short pile heights, suitable for rugs, wall hangings and traditional decorative projects. An Extra High Pile machine, such as the AK DUO Pro 45mm, allows you to achieve much longer pile, voluminous surfaces and pronounced three-dimensional textures. The choice mainly depends on the visual effect and thickness you want to achieve.

Can I also use the AK DUO Pro 45mm to make short-pile rugs?

The AK DUO Pro 45mm is specifically designed for Extra High Pile techniques and cannot achieve the typical pile heights of Standard Pile machines. The minimum adjustment is 35mm in Cut Pile and 33mm in Loop Pile. For short- or medium-pile rugs, it is therefore preferable to choose a machine such as the AK DUO Pro 14mm, which offers an adjustment range better suited to these projects.
