Karl Mayer TM 4 T-EL machine to produce beach towels range

The TM 4 T-EL is particularly suitable for producing different articles sequentially. In addition to the wide range of patterns that can be produced, the loops are firmly anchored in, and the warp-knitted terry fabrics have a soft feel – characteristics that are not just opening up the market for high-end fleecy fabrics. In fact, these tough microfilament fabrics are also interesting for use as cleaning textiles. The structure of their materials and loop arrangement create a large area for tackling stains and removing even ingrained dirt. They can also be washed easily and dried quickly.

Market launch

The TM 4 T-EL was unveiled at ITMA ASIA + CITME. The venue for this market launch was an in-house show held at KARL MAYER (China) Ltd. that was held on 14 June to coincide with the exhibition. During the course of this show, which was extremely well attended, the new terry machine was showing its capabilities by producing various loop-pile products in sequence. Established Chinese producers of terry fabrics in particular were extremely interested in this new machine. This enabled some promising projects to be initiated and new business to be generated from the moment the machine went on sale.

For the further extension of its four-bar TM series KARL MAYER plans the development of a TM 4-TS EL machine intended for cotton processing. The market launch of the newcomer is scheduled for the fourth quarter 2013.
