Belgium based high-tech weaving machines producer Picanol is going to launch The OMNIplus 800 is conceived to become the new standard for profitable airjet weaving. In developing the OMNIplus 800 the Picanol designers focused on three basic criteria for meeting this promise, namely:

- higher performance

- immediate fabric quality

- full modularity.

All the components are optimized for as yet unheard-of industrial speeds, minimum maintenance and maximum profitability. In addition the OMNIplus 800 is full of functions that make it easy to achieve very best fabric quality.

The OMNIplus 800 is an entirely new, fully modular concept, enabling the machine to be modified or converted quickly and easily so as to take advantage of new market opportunities. With the OMNIplus 800 weavers have an investment that will keep its value, even in the long term.

Higher performance by optimization of the insertion parameters
The entire concept of the machine is new: the OMNIplus 800 is a future-oriented platform with components designed for maximum operating speeds and highest productivity.

By making the insertion cone shorter and more slender, the load on the weft yarn has been reduced, thus permitting higher speeds. At the same time an entirely new 16-hole relay nozzle has been developed. In combination with the new relay nozzle valves with short reaction times, this enables the OMNIplus 800 to weave more with less air.

Higher performance with ultra-short drive train and balanced, robust construction:
