The Product

The AutoLouvre is a well proven machine, designed and manufactured for high speed vertical blind production. The machine was specifically developed for the the blinds industry and utilises novel mechanisms to produce fabric louvres used in the manufacture of vertical window blinds. We have successfully installed a number of machines at various locations throughout the UK and the machine continues to attract new users.


The machine automatically takes stock fabric from a reel, cuts the louvre to length, produces the creases for the top hanger and bottom weight and punches the top hanger hole in the louvre. The operator simply enters the length and number of louvres to be produced and the machine takes care of the rest. It will also produce "stepped sets" for sloping windows where each individual louvre is a different length.


The machine is built for production and has proven to be extremely reliable as a production unit capable of prolonged operation in a factory environment.

The machine cycle time depends on the louvre length being produced, but typically a set of 20 louvres of 1.5 metres length can be produced in approximately 1 minute.


The machine has been ergonomically designed to work alongside existing or additional sewing or sealing processes.
