ITMA Asia to see Karl Mayer's Textronic lace machine

High-performance tricot machines operating at even higher speeds

For the first time KARL MAYER’s stand will be showing a machine of the former LIBA Maschinenfabrik and KARL MAYER LIBA Textilmaschinenfabrik. “So far, LIBA has never been present as exhibitor at any Asian fair. We expect to have very interesting and exciting conversations” said Arno Gärtner. A COPCENTRA 2K+E will be on display from LIBA’s portfolio. During the trade fair this high-performance tricot machine in a working width of 174" and a gauge of E 32, equipped with two guide bars, will be producing an elastic mesh article for the apparel sector.

KARL MAYER will surely have a flying start with an unmatched technology show at ITMA ASIA + CITME. The innovations belong to the sections of lace #

 

Concerning its high-performance tricot machines KARL MAYER will be showing a new HKS 2-M model. The newcomer offers an even higher efficiency when manufacturing plain warp knitted fabrics on two-bar high-performance tricot machines. The 210" version reaches a maximum speed of 3.000 min-1.

 

Nevertheless, this machine was not only improved in terms of its speed but also of the costs. The excellent price-performance ratio makes the 210" model the perfect machine to gain acceptance on the market. During ITMA ASIA + CITME a HKS 2-M in 210" and E 28 will be producing a lightweight coating substrate.

 

In addition to the machinery show, the visitors will also have the opportunity to learn more about the patterning possibilities offered by the EL control system on tricot machines. Main focus will be on the advantages for extended design means compared to the use of pattern disks, main applications of the EL control system and pattern design with 3D live simulations.

 

Efficient warp preparation technology for the denim industry

As far as the warp preparation unit is concerned, KARL MAYER will appear at this trade fair as a competent full-range supplier for the denim technology. Out of its comprehensive product range for manufacturing jeans fabrics, the company will be showcasing a Ball Warper, a Long Chain Beamer and the yarn tensioner DiscTens. The Ball Warper is characterized by a controlled, exact and gentle joining of the yarns to ropes. The laps show an entirely parallel build-up and are of highest quality. 

 

At ITMA ASIA + CITME the Ball Warper will produce balls having a width of 1,220 mm and a diameter of 1,524 mm and operating at a maximum speed of 500 m/min. The Long Chain Beamer joins ropes to warp beams, offering perfect manufacturing quality, easy handling and highest efficiency. The technical production details of the machinery show during the trade fair: 500 m/min output, 1,800 mm beam width and 1,000 mm beam diameter.

 

Moreover, KARL MAYER will also be presenting its dye trough Vario Double and the model of its indigo dye-sizing machine Indig-O-Matic.

 

All these technical innovations as well as the competent experts at the exhibition stand will turn the KARL MAYER presentation at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), Hall E3, Stand D01, into a meeting point for the entire warp knitting trade worldwide – which, by the way, has already become the company’s traditional role during ITMA, said Oliver Mathews.
