Machine achine features S4F348 - The machine series combine the traditional attributes of functional safety and outstanding reliability with further improved Terrot striper technology. The benefit: Maximum processing variety with nearly unlimited pattern- and colour possibilities – especially for sensitive yarns due to the combination of the Terrot-Striper-System with different kind of bonding structure technologies. By using the multi-colour technology, it is possible to process up to 8 yarn colours in a single length of fabric. A never afore attained extend of universality includes the further processing of even the most sensitive yarns and threads. Beside the customary use of cotton yarns,

• Acetate, CA
• Core spun yarns
• Modal, CMD
• Polyester filament, PE
• Polyamide, PA
• Viscose, CV

can all be processed with typical Terrot process reliability. The technology of the thread change takes place with one lay-in finger for every colour thread. Every lay-in finger is equipped with a combined clamping device as well as a cutting device which guarantees very precisely clamping and cutting of the threads. Therewith this striper technology is in comparison to competitors able to process all current thread qualities, and in particular the for striped fabric used synthetic yarns that are in line with the trend.
