According to Comez, its new DNB/600-2B is the ideal machine for mass production of simple articles, such as sportswear accessories and bands for technical articles. “Beside the innovations on our electronical knitting machines, Comez continued in the study and development of numerous machines models with mechanical control to improve their efficiency, productivity and easy operations,” Comez says.

“The result of this ongoing research is the new DNB/600-2B, a high-speed mechanical warp knitting machine with double needle bed, suitable for the mass production of simple articles, such as bands for sportswear.”

The machine is equipped with 2 mechanically controlled guide bars and can process any type of yarn, both synthetic and natural, Comez says, according to the machine gauge. In addition, the two needle beds and guide bars allow the production of double face fabric structures.

“The DNB/600-2B machine enables very high productivity, thanks to its operating speed and the low stitch density value required by fabrics produced. Its compact design and reduced working width allow fast article change overs, in both small and long production runs<” Comez adds.

“Users of Comez machines are in a position to obtain high quality products in large quantities. They can therefore count on continuous production (overcoming changes in fashion tastes and market trends), enabling them to also be competitive in new market segments,” the company concludes.

Notable features of the DNB/600-2B

• high efficiency and operating speeds
• simple structure
• easy operation and maintenance

The primary application sectors for articles produced on this warp knitting machine are sportswear accessories and technical articles.

The Comez 1700/20 is a high-performance machine for the production of all types of chainette cords, to be used in passementerie (trimmings and edgings), as well as ear loops for surgical face masks.

“The 1700/20 machine is suitable for the production of any kind of trims, whether for passementerie, knitwear production, accessories and in many other sectors including the medical field,” the company explains. “This machine is especially designed for the production of elastic, resistant and soft to the touch chainette cords. The specifications of these elastic cords enable easy connection to the fabric and make them ideal as ear loops for protective face masks, both disposable and reusable.”
