In the tricot sector KARL MAYER continues the generation change that has been initiated at ITMA 2015 in Milan. There is a high demand for the first model to feature the upgrade, the HKS 2-SE, with a modern machine design, KARL MAYER’s new KAMCOS® 2 platform with additional App functions, camera monitoring system and the LEO® Low Energy Option for up to 10 percent less energy consumption, reducing costs and environmental loads. HKS machines with EL provide simple and rapid pattern change for producing short runs and development of new products. An almost limitless range of long pattern repeats, and consequently pattern designs, can be produced.

 

Last but not least, a warping machine that can be used for conventional direct warping as well as sectional warping will be shown. The warp-for-warp technique requires only a few packages. This saves space and offers maximum efficiency when producing short warps for product development, when using expensive yarns for processing production warps, and when processing small batches.

 

KARL MAYER’s Warp Preparation Business Unit will be showcasing an innovative sectional warping machine for processing shirtings and cloths. This machine operates at an impressive level of productivity. It improves efficiency in weaving preparation by up to 30 percent and by up to 3 percent in weaving compared to other models on the market.

 

KARL MAYER will also be showing the innovation Size Box HSB with pre-wetting. The key feature of the PROSIZE® sizing machine operates with three highly turbulent application zones based on spraying technology, and offers many advantages compared to the immersion bath process. Savings can be made in sizing additives, energy consumption during desizing, and effluent loads and the uniformity of the size application is improved.

 

The KARL MAYER Technical Textiles Business Unit will focus on the subjects of lightweight construction and geotextiles. The visitors will be presented with a range of impressive examples of applications and all the relevant information.

 

Expectations

 

With its wide range of innovations, KARL MAYER sasid it is looking forward to welcoming a large number of international customers to his stand.

 

“We are expecting a high level of interest in our latest developments at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2016,” said Oliver Mathews, vice president of Sales of the Business Unit Warp Knitting. “We hope to have many technical discussions, strike sales deals and also strengthen our image as the innovative market leader in our sector.”

 

The textile industry in Asia, and especially in China, is changing from being a low-wage sector to being a provider of high-end products. The aim is to supply and nurture the growing domestic brand- and quality-conscious middle classes with high-quality, mid-range goods and products – an important step in the planned restructuring of the Chinese economy away from exporting and towards the domestic market.

 

This changing economic environment demands machines that can deliver top quality and an excellent cost/benefit ratio.
