Karl Mayer Technical Textiles has reported strong demand for its MAX GLASS ECO and TM WEFT 2 machines, launched last year. The machines have been well received in the composite and fashion sectors, with double-digit sales recorded in China and India during 2024.

The company anticipates further success in 2025, with eight new enquiries for the TM WEFT 2 machine from Chinese customers in early January. A recent installation in a traditional waterjet weaving region has demonstrated the machine’s environmental benefits, reducing wastewater impact while significantly improving efficiency. Traditional warp knitting customers are also exploring its potential for new applications.

The TM WEFT 2 offers a compelling price-performance ratio, user-friendly operation, and a long service life. It is 20% more efficient than its predecessor, featuring improvements in the crankcase system and proven carbon bar technology.

Meanwhile, the MAX GLASS ECO provides a cost-effective solution for producing standard glass fibre fabrics. Key customers include manufacturers in the wind power sector, benefiting from its high output of up to 410 metres per hour at 1800 rpm. Customisable with optional features, the machine delivers increased efficiency at a reduced amortisation period.
