💨 ZQ-III Pneumatic Tufting Machine — Industrial Grade Rug Tufting Gun
The ZQ-III is an industrial-grade pneumatic tufting machine designed for rug makers who are serious about production, performance, and professional results.
Powered by compressed air rather than a traditional electric motor, this machine delivers extremely consistent tufting performance and excellent durability for long working sessions and studio use.
The ZQ-III can produce both cut pile and loop pile rugs and has an exceptionally large pile height range, allowing you to create thick, sculptural rugs and high-pile carpet work.
💨 Air Compressor Requirements (Very Important)
This machine requires a capable air compressor to operate properly.
-
Working pressure: 7 bar (approx. 100 psi)
-
Airflow: 200 L/min (approx. 7 CFM)
Ensuring your compressor can meet these airflow requirements is essential for smooth, consistent tufting performance.
If you need more guidance on selecting a compressor, we provide detailed information on our AK-III product page and in the Learn section of our website. The AK-III is another pneumatic tufting machine that operates with similar compressor requirements.
The AK-III user guide explains compressor sizing, airflow, fittings, and setup in detail and can be very helpful when preparing your workspace.
Please note: the ZQ-III and AK-III function differently. The AK-III information is provided purely as a reference for compressor setup and requirements.
