Groz-Beckert, the leading provider of industrial machine needles, will be exhibiting its selected knitting and felting needles at the 12^th edition of Indonesia International Textile and Garment Machinery & Accessories Exhibition (INDO inter TEX) that will take place from 23-26 April in Jakarta, Indonesia.

In its product portfolio Groz-Beckert features the innovative needle geometry LoopControl of chain stitch and lockstitch needles, the needles with distinctive roundings, as well as needles for fine materials or for material that is extremely difficult to sew.

The special application needles SAN 10 and SAN 10 XS guarantee higher quality through best possible protection of the sewn material and contribute to the increased productivity, the company reports.

Circular knitting

In the field of knitting focus is placed on the circular knitting needles litespeed and Vo-LC. The litespeed needle for high-performance circular knitting machines is said to allow great energy savings and a considerable reduction of CO2 emissions.

According to the company, these needles also optimise lubrication behaviour and reduce oil consumption. The partially reduced needle shank thickness enables improved needle oil distribution, which leads to reduced friction in the needle trick and less energy required to move the needle.

Body seamless machines

The new needle generation Vo-LC combines many years of experience and numerous patented details. It is available for body seamless machines and large diameter circular knitting machines in finest gauges.

Perfect in precision, according to the manufacturer, the needle allows creating a loop structure that is absolutely even, due to its tight tolerances, narrower than the diameter of a human hair.

Warp-tying machine

Another product highlight from Groz-Beckert is the warp-tying machine KnotMaster for weaving customers. This modular system is said to set new standards in service and maintenance friendliness. All components can be dismantled within just a few minutes and individual parts can be exchanged quickly and easily.

It is a fast warp-tying machine for all fine and medium yarns made from cotton, wool, and synthetic materials – as well as for compound yarns and elastic yarns. It is also ideally suited for denim.

New service concept

The company acknowledges the challenges that the today’s dynamic market is creating, such as increased competition, the growing need for sustainable productivity and efficiency. It introduces SEWING5, the new service concept, which stands for the five S (Supply, Solutions, Service, Superiority and Sustainability), which collectively stand for Groz-Beckert's consistent customer focus and its service expertise.

One aspect of the service are the technical centres, established by Groz-Beckert worldwide. These centres possess comprehensive expertise in every sector of the sewing industry, with specialists supporting customers with trainings and workshops as well as competent consulting and solutions for sewing technology problems.
