In the warp preparation section Karl Mayer will be showing the stylish, flexible sectional warper PRO WARP and the new MM 128/3.600 in a wider width at the ITMA 2015 trade show that starts in Milan this week.

The company will also be presenting high-tech solutions such as the Double Vario technology for the denim sector and the VSB Size Box, the heart of the PRO SIZE sizing machine.

PRO WARP

With its PRO WARP Karl Mayer is offering a study in concept and design in the shape of its new, stylish, flexible sectional warper. This new machine, which features the company’s new corporate design, combines the performance features of the Opt-O-Matic and the ERGOTEC, and is designed to successively replace these successful models when it goes into production.

The PRO WARP is intended to offer maximum design flexibility throughout the production process. For example, the rotating direction of the warping drum on this innovative machine can be adjusted to suit the warping requirements of the client, and the job can be adjusted to suit the type of yarn being processed.

In general, the new PRO WARP can cater for a very broad range of applications: during beaming, yarns can be processed for producing shirtings, whilst technical yarns can also be processed.

MM 128/3.600

The new MM 128/3.600 is based on the successful machine concept of the MM 128. Like its predecessor, it can process 128 yarns but, with a working width of 3,600 mm, is 1,350 mm wider.

This larger format extends the applications of the Multi-Matic, so that it can now produce sample and production warps of average running lengths for use in the production of high-end upholstery and soft furnishings.

The special performance features include the possibility of producing a wide range of designs as a result of the extended pattern options, the processing of a wide range of colours and yarns, a high level of productivity, and the production of warp beams of the highest quality, the company reports.

VSB Size Box

VSB Size Box, the heart of the PRO SIZE sizing machine, operates with no immersion. It consists of three highly turbulent, uniform application zones with patented application/squeeze rollers and a spray bar system.

Compared to the immersion bath technique, up to 10% fewer sizing additives are needed, energy consumption is reduced during desizing, and less effluent is produced. Applying the size from a spray nozzle under pressure also results in an extremely uniform application. This is due to uniform concentrations, temperatures and viscosities as a result of the high size circulation rate.

The VSB also offers advantages in terms of its ergonomics and clear layout. The special design enables the warp sheet to be operated vertically during delivery, which provides enough space for easy access to the machine.
