Karl Mayer travels with an extensive exhibition program to INDIA ITME, from 3rd to 8th December in Mumbai. The renowned producer is showing innovations from warp knitting, warp preparation and technical textiles in Hall 6, Stand B 3, on an area of 504 m².
Tricot fabrics in lace look, a HKS 3-M of the fourth generation and a highly productive newcomer for garment lace
For the Warp Knitting Business Unit, Karl Mayer is showing its successful duo belonging to the tricot segment, the HKS 3-M as another representative of the fourth generation of high-performance tricot machines, and the HKS 4-M EL, the high-speed allrounder that sets new standards in terms of patterning possibilities and productivity. Both models are shown in a working width of 218″ and a gauge of E 28. Besides, LEO®, a clever technology for energy saving and, thus, for cost saving, is supplied as standard feature on all these machine types.
At India ITME the HKS 4-M EL is making use of its design advantages offered by the EL function, is producing a lightweight, very delicate fabric in lace look for the clothing sector. The semi-transparent article has only a weight of 31 g/m². It consists of a very delicate, filigree, embroidery-like fabric ground made from monofilament yarn, and a relief-like patterning made from a textured PES yarn.
In Mumbai the HKS 3-M machine is producing a rigid sportswear textile with a filigree, grainy surface in woven look. The maximum targeted speed is 2,800 min-1. Despite its impressive speed, the HKS 3-M is highly efficient due to the specific function integration on the basis of KAMCOS® 2, and with its new ergonomic machine design it also has a stylish look.
Karl Mayer is presenting its new lace machine concept LACE.EXPRESS for the first time in India. LACE.EXPRESS sets new standards in terms of price-performance ratio when manufacturing garment lace.
