Seamless knitting machinery manufacturer Santoni has modernised its range of circular knitting machines. The Italian company is ready to roll out the SM8 TOP2V machine, which supersedes the current SM8 TOP2 model.

The SM8 TOP2V is an electronic single jersey circular machine with eight feeds and two selection points per feed. The machine is designed for the production of single jersey seamless garments for underwear, outerwear, beachwear, sportswear and sanitary wear.

This is a conceptually new machine that is provided with numerous exclusive patents. It offers exceptional productivity, on an average 30 per cent higher than the current model, and is energy efficient. It’s user-friendly, with newly developed strategic knitting parts such as the yarn fingers group and new sinker cap for top quality wool and natural yarn plating, so that an improved final product fabric quality can be obtained. The very latest materials are used in the construction of the SM8 TOP2V. Materials such as carbon fiber are employed to reduce movement of parts and lower consumption.

Santoni was founded in 1919. It has become a frontrunner in the production of electronic knitting machines for garments without seams. It meets 97 per cent of the worldwide demand for seamless machines, which are used in various sectors of the garment industry including underwear, sportswear, beachwear, outerwear and medical garments.
