Rapier weaving machines
Exhibition visitors will have the chance to see live the most successful rapier machine in recent history, the Itema R9500. With a solid installed base in more than 50 Countries and the widest range of fabrics produced, the Itema rapier R9500 is nowadays the industry benchmark for versatility and superior textile performances. The R9500 on show during India ITME will display a high-end shirting fabric, featuring the latest technological advancements dedicated specifically to shirting applications, such as the brand-new Itema Pneumatic Tuckers, the most appreciated in this specific market segment allowing reduced maintenance costs and no speed limitations. Moreover, the Itema pneumatic tuckers provide utmost fabric quality and the possibility to have very narrow tucked-in selvedges leading to a significant fabric waste reduction.
Officially presented for the first time in India, the Itema R9500terry, which is already a big favourite of sophisticated premium terry weavers worldwide after its debut in Milan in 2015, will demonstrate its strong leading position in weaving the most refined and soft terry fabrics.
Airjet Weaving Machines
On the airjet technology side, three machines will be on display, covering all the main airjet technology application fields growing continuously in the Indian and surroundings markets. The A9500 featuring a bed sheeting style, will run with the latest improvements designed to excel in this market, meeting weavers´ requirements of widest versatility and substantial cost savings. The brand-new Full Width Reed Tuckers guarantee weavers the possibility to reduce reed stock and increase the flexibility of the machine. Morever, the brand-new Double Tandem Nozzles ensure superior fabric quality and significant cost savings. A stretch denim fabric will be woven on the A9500p, the racehorse model in the Itema airjet portfolio. The popular recent trend to weave stretch and super stretch fabrics with dedicated weft yarns, inspired Itema to create and patent the innovative BLC ´ Brush Lycra Clamp ´ nozzle to weave elastic weft yarns. Thanks to the BLC nozzle, the weft is held without movable parts to ensure superior fabric quality and reliability. The Itema iREED® – already a benchmark for the industry – significantly reduces the air consumption and guarantees a higher efficient weft insertion. The third airjet machine is an A9500p weaving a top quality yarn-dyed shirting and featuring another Itema patented feature ´ the ELD Electronic Leno Device ´ which, with its innovative design, self-cleaning and no need to wind the leno spools, provides a perfect leno binding even at highest speeds, whilst significantly reducing operational costs.
