KARL MAYER has further differentiated its range of double raschel machines and thus better tailored them to market requirements. The DM 6/2-6 EN is a new addition to the family of high-performance machines for the production of spacer fabrics. With a speed of 850 rpm, this newcomer offers the same working speed as its range neighbours, the RD 6/1-12 EN and RD 7/2-12 EN. However, thanks to its special technical focus on the production of lightweight 3D warp-knitted fabrics, it is significantly lower in price.
The configuration on offer includes a trick plate distance of 2 to 6 mm and a working width of 138″ making the DM 6/2-6 EN ideal for the highly efficient production of spacer fabrics for the luggage and furniture sector.
The flexible RD 6/1-12 EN is still the machine of choice for the production of technical spacer fabrics for home textiles and plush applications, while the RD 7/2-12 EN sets standards in the production of 3D articles with a wide range of designs for shoes and automotive applications.
The DM 6/2-6 EN recently convinced visitors to an in-house show organised by KARL MAYER (CHINA) during ITMA ASIA + CITME 2024 with its performance.
“The machine impresses in particular with its excellent price-performance ratio. We have already reserved one machine in China and received couple of quotation requests from our customers. However, the uncertain situation, especially in the USA, is delaying many investment decisions. We hope that confidence in the market will return by the end of this year.”
