The special feature of Groz-Beckert knitting components is its dimensional stability. This is said to be achieved by the precision of the production machinery, designed and built in Groz-Beckert's own engineering department. Together with high ISO-certified material and workmanship standards, plus standardized production processes, this is said to ensure that production batch quality remains consistent for many years.

Modules for tricot machines

For a short while now, Groz-Beckert has also offered complete modules for tricot machines. The offer includes guide needle, sinker and closer modules of the latest generation, suitable for state-of-the-art as well as earlier tricot machine models. The number of different module types can thus be reduced, together with storage space and storage costs.

Also in the packaging and storage Groz-Beckert sets importance to high quality standards. In the practical packaging solution, the modules are placed in a foam bed. This is not only neat and protects the modules additionally from damage, but also allows easy access, the company reports. As a result, the practical packaging is said to directly reduce set-up times.

Integrated active system

The company also promotes its complete equipment from a single source: precision-manufactured and carefully coordinated, individual components are said to blend together into a smoothly functioning system. This is particularly useful with fine gauges, yarns that are critical to process, and high machine speeds.

The result is a uniform loop structure, a stable knitting process, and low downtime, the company reports. This is said to help achieve error-free knitwear, and trouble-free, efficient production.
