Karl Mayer continuously upgrades RD series machines

The RD 6/1-12 is now available with a new optional feature for processing multifilament yarns in the pile bars. This package of features, which extends the applications of this machine, includes special guide needles – 1 in/1 out – for pile bars GB 3 and GB 4.

The yarn sleys for the pile bars, which are needed for processing monofilament yarns, are supplied as an accessories kit, since they are often not used when producing plush.

This new accessories kit enables multifilament yarns to be processed without any problems, as long as certain restrictions relating to the type of yarns used and the stitch density are taken into account. The following conditions should be met for a machine gauge of E 22:

- The yarn count in ground guide bars GB 2, GB 5 and GB 6 should be a maximum of 167 dtex per latch needle head
- The yarn count in pile bars GB 3 and GB 4 should be a maximum of 350 dtex per latch needle head
- The individual filaments should have a count greater than 1 dtex
- The maximum number of filaments in pile bars GB 3 and GB 4 is 150
- The stitch density should be a maximum of 20-22 stitch courses per cm.

The machines with these new modifications are available as of immediate effect.
