India ITME 2008 has taken place from the 15th to 22nd of November this year in Bangalore. It is the largest textile machinery exhibition in India. The fair offered an excellent opportunity to Terrot to present the Indian market its innovative products and technologies.

Together with our partner Voltas Ltd. we received a lot of visitors at our booth, where we exhibited two new designed and developed circular knitting machines – made in Germany.

Presented was the highly efficient and user-friendly new generation of open width machines as well as a new high production mattress machine. Terrot´s presentation was focussed on innovation, quality awareness, marketability and competitiveness. Although times are difficult in India too these days, we were able to conclude contracts during the fair.

As early as 1999 in Paris TERROT was first to introduce a Single- Jersey Circular Knitting machine where the tubular fabric was cut and wound up in open width condition directly in the machine. This improved new S296-1 is now available with a very compact open width frame which offers very easy handling by the operator. The frame size reduction was demanded by the market for a long time. The speed factor for production conditions is 1050 (35 rpm in 30 inch).

UCC572M Electronically controlled Double-Jersey Jacquard machine.

Diameter in inch - 38”
Gauge E - 20
Number of feeders - 90
Machine speed/ RPM - 19
Number of needle tracks - 2 (dial)
Knitting structure - Mattress Ticking
Yarn - PES dtex 110/1, PES dtex 660 (Lay-in), CO Nm 40/1 (Ne 24s)
Unfinished fabric weight g/m2 - 215
Unfinished fabric width in cm - 250
Production output m/h - 36,5
Production output kg/h - 19,5

Most of the knitted fabrics for Mattress Ticking's are at present produced by 38 inch machines with 60 feeders. With its new 90 feeder, this UCC572M will be in a class by itself with a productivity increase of 50 % and nearly 30 kg/h production output. The 3-way technique on all 90 feeders UCC572 M permits for unlimited kind of applications. This model is unlike competition well proven under production circumstances in many countries of the world for almost one year now.
