Mayer
& Cie sparkled at last month’s Tüyap exhibition in Istanbul, claiming its
Relanit 3.2 II was the star of the show.
Mayer
claims that its Relanit 3.2 II, 28 gauge and 32 inch diameter machine with ‘high
speed kit’ set a new world record due to
the fact that it was running at 40 rpm in continuous operation with elastomeric
plating and open width frame.
A
spokes person for Mayer & Cie said: “Claiming that a circular knitting
machine with open width device and with elastomeric plating is capable of
achieving 40 rpm means that you have to prove it. Visitors were quite amazed at
how effortlessly this speed was achieved whilst the fabric was wound up in
immaculate quality without crease marks.”
“Without open width frame and with tubular
winding the Relanit 3.2 II can achieve up to 45 rpm in continuous operation.
This increases the production by 40 % and even with open width frame an
increase in production of 25 % is guaranteed.”
Further Mayer exhibits at Tüyap were the
Relanit 1.6 R and the OVJA 1.6 ET (3WT). According to Mayer & Cie, the
Relanit 1.6 R sets new standards as single jersey striper with open width
take-down. A 10 gauge model was exhibited which was combining coarse yarns with
elastomeric yarns to give fabrics with particularly high elasticity.
The
OVJA 1.6 ET (3WT) is an electronic double jersey machine with transfer
functions on both cylinder and dial needles. The needle selection is made by
Mayer & Cie’s patented reliable mono-magnet system. Full 3-way-technique offers
extensive pattern scope and the machine can be used efficiently even for
smaller lots, due to rapid pattern transfer to the machine with Mayer’s proven
electronics. According to the Albstadt based company, positive needle guidance,
diagonal stitch adjustment and electronic individual needle selection in
combination with elastomer plating made the OVJA 1.6 ET (3WT) a very popular exhibit.
Tüyap apparently exceeded Mayer & Cie’s expectations
with good visitor numbers. Nearly 22.000 visitors from 57 countries met with 614
exhibitors from 31 countries.
