Karl Mayer launch new machine range

Textile nets have proved to be firm favourites for use in technical and semi-technical applications. They protect against the sun, wind and hailstones, keep mosquitoes and birds at bay, and can be used as ball-catching nets and packaging materials.

Warp-knitted circular bale nets in particular have proved to be invaluable tools for use in harvesting crops, and the technology used to produce the nets is constantly being optimised and updated.

To this end, KARL MAYER Textilmaschinenfabrik GmbH has been introducing a new group of machines for producing circular bale and packaging nets onto the market since last summer.

RS 2 EL-F
The RS 2 EL-F is the first member of this new family of net manufacturing machines from KARL MAYER. This two-bar raschel machine is intended to replace the old RS 2 NK-F. It is available in a working width of 226" and a gauge of E 6/6 (1 needle per inch), and produces circular bale and pallet nets extremely efficiently.

Thanks to the electronic guide bar control facility, which is an integral part of the overall machine concept, the new RS 2 EL-F can operate at production speeds of 1,500 rpm, which makes it up to 25% more efficient than its predecessor.

Other advantages of KARL MAYER's new machine include its cutting and clamping device, which can be used for automatically incorporating marking tapes, and its compact, cleverly engineered batching system, which guarantees a constant, firm edge build and a high winding density.

The RS 2 EL-F also comes equipped with the KAMCOS system, which results in increased productivity and flexibility, and can be linked up to the KARL MAYER Teleservice system. This is a component part of the KARL MAYER Service Plus package and maximises the machine's operating availability.

The procedures for handling the machine have also been simplified. For example, a pneumatic insertion device at the batching system makes it easier to position the empty roll, and the compact construction ensures that all areas of the machine are clearly visible.

The RS 2 EL-F has already demonstrated all these features in practice. After it was unveiled during an open house event at the company's headquarters in July of last year, it passed all its production trials with flying colours and went into mass production in March.
