KARL MAYER: Focusing on higher efficiency and lower consumption
Oct 19, 2016 | by
During ITMA ASIA + CITME 2016, KARL MAYER will exhibit a
wide range of knitting equipment.
In the lace sector a fundamental new development in the multibar
jacquard machine sector will set the standard in terms of the cost:benefit
ratio and will be demonstrating the potential for producing a wide range
of new and different product designs.
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 % 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 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% and by
up to 3% in weaving compared to other models on the market. KARL
MAYER will also be showing the innovation Size Box HSB with prewetting.
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.
