In today’s healthcare and laboratory settings, maintaining sterile environments is paramount. Terrot Textilmaschinen GmbH’s interlock and fine rib circular knitting machine, the I3P 196, is at the forefront of producing double terry fabrics ideal for these applications.

Double terry fabric features two interconnected terry layers, resulting in exceptional absorbency and durability. This structure allows the material to absorb substantial amounts of liquid, making it highly effective for cleaning tasks. Despite its robustness, double terry remains soft, ensuring gentle contact with surfaces - a crucial factor when cleaning delicate equipment.

The I3P 196 machine is engineered for high production performance, ensuring precise and consistent manufacturing of double terry fabrics. Its efficiency and versatility make it a preferred choice for producing medical textiles, offering cost-effective solutions without compromising quality.

Beyond healthcare, double terry fabrics find applications in various industries. In the automotive sector, they are used for wipes and gloves designed for sensitive surfaces. The incorporation of antistatic yarns further extends their utility into the electronics field, highlighting the material’s adaptability across different sectors.

For over 160 years, Terrot has been a premium partner to the textile industry worldwide. With its Terrot and Pilotelli product lines, the company is present in 120 countries.
