Karl Mayer showcases latest innovations at ShanghaiTex

The Technical Textiles Business Unit was showing a selection of innovative textiles that had been produced on KARL MAYER MALIMO’s machines. The products on display included a double blind with alternating segments of open and dense areas – the result of using the weft repeating function on a raschel machine with magazine weft insertion.

This sun-screening system attracted the attention of numerous manufacturers of shading solutions for the home and agricultural sector. This business unit was also using a geomodel to demonstrate the principles of a coarse grid/web construction for reinforcing slopes. A top with a burnt-out look produced on a high-speed tricot machine with magazine weft insertion was also catering for the theme of “fashion”.

Hagen Lotzmann was extremely pleased with the feedback on all the exhibits. This sales manager went on to say: “Many of our Chinese customers paid us a visit, including many manufacturers of interlinings for the clothing sector. The conversations we had with them showed that they were on the lookout for new machines for their existing plants.” For example, expanding their production range will open up new fashion prospects on the net curtain market.
