ly-fedged high-performance single
jersey machine with a linear speed
of 1.56m/s (corresponding to 39rpm
at 30in). It is also said to facilitate
lower cost production.
The MJ3.2 E DNS fne gauge sin-
gle jersey jacquard machine with
fully electronic needle selection was
on display in gauge E60. The un-
limited pattern variety possible for
extremely fne fabrics opens new
collection possibilities, particularly
for manufacturers of night and un-
derwear. Manufacturers of technical
applications are also likely to show
interest in the new fabric qualities,
according to the company.
Mayer & Cie’s OVJA 1.6 EE for
production of knitted mattress tick-
ing fabrics, with individual electron-
ic needle selection in cylinder and
dial, was also on display at its stand.
Due to the additional individual nee-
dle selection in the dial, particularly
sharp contours at the changeover
between blister pattern and ground,
provide a noticeably better fabrics
appearance, according to the com-
pany.
In conventional mattress machines
with individual needle selection in
the cylinder only the foats of the
blister yarns are often visible, mean-
ing contours between pattern and
ground become fuzzy, says Mayer
& Cie.
More and more manufacturers are
said to be taking advantage of nee-
dle selection in cylinder and dial in
order to differentiate their product
from standard fabric. Mayer & Cie
has plans to bring these advantages
to all markets in all commercial di-
ameters – 38in, 42in and 48in, as
well as in frames with roll diameters
of up to 1.25m (corresponding to ap-
proximately 260kg fabric bales).
Finally the company’s OVJA 1.6
E fne, offering fnest gauges upto
E36 for double jersey jacquard ma-
chines for the fashion domain, with
electronic individual needle selec-
tion, makes it possible to obtain a
constant fabric quality from the frst
mesh-on by a temperature control
system patented by Mayer & Cie.
The temperature control brings
the machine to the desired operat-
ing temperature before knitting be-
gins and is said to maintain it during
production, even at extremely unfa-
vourable temperature conditions in
the adjacent area. It avoids chang-
ing of distance between yarn guide
and needle which can lad to dropped
stitches in response to differing tem-
perature conditions. The patented
mono magnet selection system en-
sures reliable needle selection for
many years as it does not undergo a
mechanical load, says the company.
Mayer & Cie’s S4-3.2 II R striper
is said to be the frst to produce sin-
gle jersey striped fabrics with three
- or by combination of individual
feeders also with more colours.
The overall response was excel-
lent at ITMA 2011, equally from
Indian visitors says Mayer & Cie.
All most all big Spinners visited the
company’s booth for SPINIT.
Mayer & Cie has received con-
frmed orders for 156 machines
valued at Euro 12 million. Of this,
orders from India amounted to fve
per cent.
In India, Mayer & Cie has been
working with Batliboi since the
1980s. The company has sold and
installed more than 1,800 machines
in India, most of them being Relanit,
S4-3.2 and OV 3.2 machines.
India is one of the top fve major
markets worldwide for Mayer &
Cie, and the company is keen on ex-
panding the market share for other
machines like PES Interlock, mat-
tress ticking and striper.
