Karl Mayer, leading warp knitting machinery manufacturer, will be showcasing the company’s latest innovations in warp knitting, warp preparation and technical textiles at the India ITME international textile machinery exhibition, which will be taking place from 3-8 December in Mumbai.

For the Warp Knitting Business Unit Karl Mayer will be showing its successful duo belonging to the tricot segment: the HKS 3-M, the fourth generation of high-performance tricot machines, and the HKS 4-M EL, the high-speed allrounder expanding patterning possibilities and productivity.

Both models will be shown in a working width of 218" and a gauge of E 28. Besides, LEO technology for energy saving is supplied as standard feature on all these machine types.

Tricot fabrics in lace look

At India ITME, the HKS 4-M EL will make use of its design advantages offered by the EL function. It will be producing a lightweight, delicate fabric in lace look for the clothing sector. The semi-transparent article has only a weight of 31 g/m². It consists of a very delicate, filigree, embroidery-like fabric ground made from monofilament yarn, and a relief-like patterning made from a textured PES yarn, the company reports.

In Mumbai, the HKS 3-M machine will be producing a rigid sportswear textile with a filigree, grainy surface in woven look. The maximum targeted speed is 2,800 min-1. In addition to its speed, the HKS 3-M is said to be highly efficient due to the specific function integration on the basis of KAMCOS 2, the company reports. With its new ergonomic machine design it also has a stylish look.

The manufacturer will also be presenting its new lace machine concept LACE.EXPRESS for the first time in India. LACE.EXPRESS aims to achieve great indicators in terms of price-performance ratio when manufacturing garment lace.

Warp preparation solutions and composite machines

The highlights of Karl Mayer’s Warp Preparation Business Unit are innovative solutions for sizing, sectional warping and for the denim business. The exhibits include a smart Size Box, which operates on the basis of the spray technology, thus, minimizing the process costs, and the new ISOMATIC – a short warp sampling machine for standard applications. For the denim sector Karl Mayer will be showing the model of the complete indigo dyeing unit PRODYE.

For those interested in innovations in the field of technical textiles, Karl Mayer will be offering a Meeting Point with valuable information for the manufacture of reinforcement layer fabrics for composites.

Karl Mayer’s 360° service

The technical show will be complemented by decorative islands showing, among other things, attractive sari, lace and sportswear collections, video films and the presentation of the Karl Mayer Academy India. This facility for a practical know-how transfer is part of the company’s own support programme, which has only recently been expanded to an all-round concept.

The 360° service mainly integrates mobile devices, by means of the new Karl Mayer Connect app for a highly efficient communication between machine operator and service specialist in case of need, and by the Karl Mayer Check Parts app for an uncomplicated check of the spare parts in terms of their originality. Besides, the Spare Parts Webshop is designed to ensure a simple ordering of the required parts by just a single mouse click. It is quite easy to use Karl Mayer’s new offers for mobile devices – as will be demonstrated during India ITME.
