Italy's Santoni Group has announced a number of innovations which will be exhibited at this year's ITMA 2011 in Barcelona, including a brand new circular sweater knitting machine, the Mecmor Compact.

The new version of the well known Mecmor open width garment length knitwear or sweater knitting machine is said to be space saving, have a lower cost and have greater flexibility than previous Mecmor models. Added flexibility is derived from the fact that knit and transfer systems are now combined.

"Our world-renowned Mecmor open panel circular knitting machine, recognised as the most complete knitwear machine in circular motion, has now been redesigned into a new physically smaller model called the Compact," says Santoni Marketing Manager Patrick Silva.

"This latest machine has most of the advantages of the larger model, but now with the addition of some very important new features such as, for example, the enhancement of the production by having the feeds no longer divided into those specialised in knit stitches and those in transfer stitches. Here each feed is completely integral and can do either according to the required selection," Patrick Silva says.

"Santoni has always considered that circular knitwear production is a necessary compliment to flatbed knitting and a well-equipped knitting mill should have both types, especially as the circular system has of course an incomparably huge productivity in the finer gauges," says Patrick Silva.

"With this new smaller model, called the Mecmor Compact, with its remarkably high productivity and fine quality of fabric, we have made circular knitwear production more accessible due to its compact space dimensions, its latest electronic management, and also due to its investment cost for rapid depreciation whilst keeping all the circular advantages of fine stitch quality and the highest productivity, especially in the finer gauges," Mr Silva adds.

Santoni will show an 18 gauge Mecmor Compact machine in 33 inch diameter at ITMA 2011 in Barcelona.
