ITM 2016 to see Karl Mayer's technologies

Displaying its all-round technology and 360° service for the Turkish market, Karl Mayer will display its products focusing on applications for home textiles, especially upholstery fabrics and net curtains, as well as lace for outerwear and intimate apparel.

Karl Mayer, will be exhibiting in hall 7, where the new HKS 4-M EL tricot machine for versatile velour production and the Size Box VSB innovative sizing technology for efficient sizing system will be on show.  

HKS 4-M EL will be demonstrating all its features by producing a structured upholstery fabric. It operates up to 25 per cent faster than its predecessor and is extremely flexible. The EL feature enables patterns to be changed quickly and easily, and the repeat lengths are virtually limitless. A wide variety of designs can be worked with long pattern cycles, as can the classic patterns from the patterning repertoire of this high-speed, four-bar tricot machine.

The Size Box VSB is the central component of the PROSIZE sizing machine. It operates with three highly turbulent application zones, in which the yarns are treated with the liquor via patented application/squeeze rollers and a spray bar system. Compared to the immersion process, this efficient process requires fewer size additives, reduces energy consumption during desizing, and produces less effluent. The size application is also more uniform.

Karl Mayer will also be demonstrating how its 360° service all-round online support system works. The ITM exhibition is one of the world's most important platforms for the global textile machinery manufacturing sector. (NA)
