Machines from the Jakob Müller AG’s NG3 series are the world’s fastest narrow fabric needle looms and an NG3S 2/66 S5 for medium-weight belts will be in operation at the Techtextil.
The NG3 series of narrow fabric needle looms represents a technical and technological development quantum leap. The heald frame drives and movement, as well as the shafts and healds are designed for high speeds, and for medium-weight articles now offer a maximum of 2,750 min-1 (using the S5 weaving system). One of the main reasons for this high performance is the new, wear-resistant NGV3 harness. In tandem with top quality raw materials, weft thread guidance, compensation and monitoring guarantee first-class product quality and reduced standstill times. The patented compound needle system is characterised by the safe, low-tension insertion of the threads. This results in increased efficiency and a simultaneous reduction in knitting needle breaks. Moreover, the NG3S version of the machine (the “S†stands for “silentâ€Â) is fitted with additional noise protection, which cuts emissions by as much as 10 db(A).
The NG3S 28G 2/66 S5 offers the following advantages:
-
High production performance with speeds of up to 2,750 min-1
-
The possibility for speed changes while the machine is running
-
Excellent machine efficiency in combination with low wear and a minimum maintenance requirement
-
Patented, air-sprung heald motion for high speeds
-
Extremely reliable and reproducible narrow fabric quality with selvedges of a very high standard
-
Simple and clear operation and control
-
Outstanding machine and operator safety
