WEFTTRONIC II G for glass processing is also taking off in China,too

KARL MAYER Technische Textilien developed a new weft insertion warp knitting machine, which further expanded the product range in this field. The new model, WEFTTRONIC II G, is specially designed to produce light to medium heavy grid structures.

This stable mesh fabric is used as the carrier of gypsum mesh, geogrid and grinding disc-and the production efficiency on WEFTTRONIC II G is extremely high. Compared with the previous version, the production efficiency of geogrid is now increased by 60%. In addition, cheaper yarns can be processed into high-quality textiles: the production cost of textile glass fiber materials is 30% lower than that of leno fabrics. This machine handles technical yarns very gently. Its performance is also impressive. At the beginning of 2019, Polish manufacturer HALICO ordered the first batch of WEFTTRONIC II G, followed by China in December. Jan Stahr, sales manager of KARL MAYER Technische Textilien, said: “In our recent trip to China before Christmas, we won new customers for the company.” This company is a major participant in this industry. After purchasing each machine, they suggested that they might invest more WEFTTRONIC II G models.

Familiako eragin handiko enpresa
enpresa Ma pribatuaren jabetza pribatua. Ma Xingwang Senior jaunak akzioak ditu beste bi enpresatan, hurrenez hurren, bere semea eta iloba. Konpainiek 750 rapier loom inguru erabiltzen dituzte guztira beren produkziorako eta, beraz, eraginkortasun potentziala eskaintzen dute: produktuaren kalitatearen arabera, 13 eta 22 rapier loom-ak WEFTTRONIC® II G. KARL MAYER Technische Textilien-ek zerbitzu intentsiborako laguntza eskaintzen du. teknologia berrietara eta punta-puntako makinetara pasatzeko aukera paregabea. Elkarte sendoak gomendio gehiago ekarri zituen. "Gure bileretan, Ma familiak beste bezero potentzialak ere sartu dizkigu", adierazi du Jan Stahrrek. Jaioterria, oso ezaguna da igeltsu sareta ekoizteko. Hemen 5000 rapel loom inguru daude martxan. Enpresak elkarte baten parte dira guztiak. Enpresa horietako batzuekin sistema pilotua antolatzeko prozesuan dago dagoeneko Jan Stahr.

State-owned companies with vertically integrated production

As a manufacturer of glass fiber, roving and textiles, the company has gained a reputation in the world. It is one of the top five glass fiber manufacturers in China. The company’s customers in this field include manufacturers in Eastern Europe, who are already operating the machines of KARL MAYER Technische Textilien. After the successful introduction of this technology in the first WEFTTRONIC II G, it is planned to invest more machines. According to the company’s own information, it intends to work in a market with an annual output of 2 billion meters of textile glass fiber materials and gain a huge market share. Therefore, it is planned to invest more machines in the medium term.

Flexibility is tested

In order to better understand the possibility of glass grating structure production, the new WEFTTRONIC II G machine will be tested by customers in June 2020 in China. A wide range of equipment selection and patterning possibilities will be applicable to different manufacturing processes. Different quotations can be tested as part of these processing tests. When working on the machine, customers can feel how the fabric design affects its performance and product yield, and how to use this correlation to improve efficiency. For example, if the square cells of the fabric grid are formed with low warpthread stitch density, the weft yarn has significant freedom of movement in the structure. This kind of fabric is relatively unstable, but its output is high. So as to investigate whether there are any advantages. The performance curves of textiles are verified by corresponding laboratory values. Companies that vertically integrate production especially welcome the opportunity to test machines. Besides textiles, they also produce textile fiberglass materials, so they can test how their own yarns are processed. These tests are supervised by well-trained technicians. The WEFTTRONIC II G is based on a technology unfamiliar to many glass grid manufacturers. In these experiments, they can also find out how user-friendly the new machine is.
