Rapier Weaving Machine Itema
Itema’s new rapier weaving machine – Silver 501 is the strategic evolution of the highly successful Silver HS
model. Based on the same footprint and complete with a new electronic platform, the Silver 501 is specifically
engineered to handle demanding styles or heavy weight denim at the highest production speeds with superior
quality. Key developments of the drive and transfer systems provide a more robust machine that insures a
consistent, high speed transfer at the lowest vibration pattern. The ease of use, maintenance and operation
synergies remain to provide a transition free integration for weavers and technicians alike. Best suited in a
continuous operation, the new Silver 501 is the workhorse of Itema.
