Picanol, a leader in the development, production, and sales of weaving machines and technology for the textile industry, headquartered in Belgium, will display new textile machines at ITMA Asia + CITME 2018 expo, in booth F01, hall H3. The sixth edition of the leading textile machinery exhibition will be held from October 15-19, 2018, in Shanghai, China.

Picanol’s newest rapier, the GTMax-i 3.0, will be shown for the first time to the textile world. The GTMax-i 3.0 is building further on the success of GT-Max and GTMax-i. The combination of a redesigned gripper drive and extra reinforced sley drive as well as the integration of the future-oriented BlueBox electronic platform allow for even higher production speeds. Moreover, the look of the machine has been reworked completely, with a special focus on ergonomy and user friendliness, the company said in a press release.

In total four machines of this type will be on display at the show. On the Picanol booth, a GTMax-i 3.0 will be weaving a denim fabric, another one will be weaving a zebra style curtain fabric. On the Bonas booth, a decoration fabric will be running on a GTMax-i 3.0 with jacquard, whereas on the Tongxiang booth a GTMax-i 3.0 will be weaving label.

Next to the all-new GTMax-i 3.0, four more machines will be present, completing the Picanol weaving machine range on display. On the Picanol booth, two OptiMax-i 190 cm weaving para-aramide and shirting are being presented. As for the airjet machines, two OMNIplus Summum will be shown, one weaving a bottomweight fabric and the other weaving sheeting. This airjet combines performance, flexibility and energy effectiveness. Waste control and style changes are simplified thanks to the Blue22 EasySet prewinders.

On the Stäubli booth, a TERRYplus Summum with jacquard will be weaving a high quality terry fabric. In total, nine Picanol machines will be on display, of which six will be on Picanol’s own booth. (GK)
