The German textile machinery manufacturer Karl Mayer will be exhibiting new raschel lace machine and warp knitting machine developments , as well as denim technology from a single source, at this year’s ITMA ASIA + CITME that will be held from 16-20 June 2014 in Shanghai.

An improved Jacquardtronic lace machine with a main focus on patterning diversity is included in the novelties intended for lace manufacturers. A newcomer raschel lace machine, the MT 51/1/32, will also be showing its high level of proficiency, the company reports.

Producing lace

According to Karl Mayer, its new Multibar Textronic  Lace offers  customers the possibility to succeed against competitors in the Textronic lace market by means of high-quality but also cost-efficient and strikingly designed articles. On the MT 51/1/32 machine it is said to be possible to produce  typically Textronic fall plate effects in a more complex and elaborate way.

Karl Mayer will also be displaying its new pattern beam warper PBW 130"/2, which can produce pattern beams with laps that combine a long running length with identical diameters. In this way, it is possible to tap the full potential during the subsequent processing on lace raschel machines, the company reports.

Tricot machinery

For the tricot machine sector Karl Mayer will be showing a new development of the HKS series as well as a LIBA machine type COP 2 K+E.

In addition to the machinery exhibits,  visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the patterning possibilities offered by the EL control system on tricot machines. Visitors will also get to know more about  ProCad warpknit software by Texion.

Denim technology

Karl Mayer’s Warp Preparation unit will be presented as a competent full-range supplier of  denim technology. The business unit will be showcasing a Ball Warper and a Long Chain Beamer.

According to the company, its Ball Warper is characterised by a controlled, exact and gentle joining of the yarns to ropes and by a careful lap formation. The laps show an entirely parallel build-up and are of high quality. The Long Chain Beamer joins ropes to warp beams, designed to offer perfect manufacturing quality, high efficiency and easy handling.

Visitors to ITMA ASIA + CITME will also get the chance to have a look at the dye trough Variobox and at the company’s indigo dye-sizing machine, the Indig-O-Matic.
