During the recently concluded technology exhibition – ITMA, Karl Mayer displayed MLF 46/24 in a width of 242”, an exceptionally wide multi-bar lace machine with fall plate and without jacquard bars, offering an impressive level of productivity for a low investment outlay.
The concept of this new machine is based on considerably increasing its speed compared to its predecessor at a gauge of E18. The last fall plate raschel machine was the MRGSF 31/16, having a working width of 210″ and a summation drive system. The MLF 46/24, 242″ can produce several lace panels side-by-side, as well as wide, all-over-patterned textile webs and also bordered fabrics with long repeats.
At ITMA the MLF 46/24, with a working width of 242″ and a gauge of E 18, simultaneously worked on four bordered webs with 145 cm widths of the finished fabric and 150 cm long patterns. The non-stretch panels are intended to be used in outerwear.
Also the new TL 79/1/36 Fashion machine by Karl Mayer can produce innovative Textronic lace looks never seen before in the lace sector. These eye-catching products include lightweight fabrics based on jacquard constructions, featuring relief-like patterns with a distinct three-dimensional look – the result of a new way of incorporating the heavy liners. All the standard Textronic® patterns can be worked using the 76 pattern bars that are available, without using the heavy cord option. The design of the TL 79/1/36 Fashion makes it ideal for producing exclusive, high-end lace bands and panels for dresses, blouses and jackets.
