Retrofitting to suit customer requirements

The new clip string system can also be integrated into existing machines. From July 2014 onwards, KARL MAYER will be offering spare parts packages made up of different expansion phases for changing over entire plants. The service starts with supplying the basic equipment, such as the setting bank, strings and patternguide fingers, and ends with the setting-up of a suitable logistics system for fitting all the machines with minimal downtimes. The advantages of the clip string system can be fully utilised by drawing-up an appropriate retrofitting plan. KARL MAYER is able to assist its clients with determining the right number of string sets for their plants. 

 

“We first of all analyse the conditions existing in the client’s plant and ascertain, for example, how frequently the patterns are changed. On the basis of this, we work with them to develop a retrofitting strategy that takes into account the payback- and downtimes, the purchasing costs and the storage costs. By doing this, the potential of our machines can be exploited even more,” explains Axel Wintermeyer, the Head of the Spare Parts Division at KARL MAYER. 

 

Femina Lace is one customer that ordered the new machines equipped with clip strings back in 2013. This well-known, Thailand-based lace producer is delighted with this flexible solution for string bar processing.
