Relanit line’s current flagship is the Relanit 3.2 HS, which is one of the most productive single jersey machines in the market, both for open width as well as tubular.

Relanit’s anniversary year started on October 13, 2017. Relanit is one of Mayer & Cie.’s (MCT) most important and most successful machine types. Relanit uses relative technology, the circular knitting machine manufacturer’s proprietary development, launched at ITMA in 1987, when the trade fair opened on 13 October in Paris. In its current version the Relanit 3.2 HS is one of the most productive single jersey machines on the market. At the same time, its energy consumption is 30 per cent below that of a conventional knitting machine. Relanit is also part of Mayer & Cie.’s latest innovation, its spinitsystems technology. Thanks to relative technology a fragile fibre bundle can become a fluffy single jersey fabric.

A selection committee formed of the International Cotton Association (ICA) officers have appointed Bill Kingdon as their Managing Director following a rigorous and robust recruitment process. The ICA Officers worked closely with a recruitment agency to guarantee a professional and independent process to select a new managing director over a period of three months.

Sven-Erik Bucht Minister for Rural Affairs from the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation Sweden arrived in Mumbai to discuss a joint project on smart textiles involving potentially Aditya Birla Group, Swedish company Domsjö and the two governments as well as the European Union.

The minister visited the Aditya Birla Group Textile Research Application Development Centre at Kharach in Gujarat, which is India’s pioneer in viscose staple fibre (VSF), a man-made, bio-degradable fibre with characteristics akin to cotton. The prime aim of this visit is to boost development on smart textiles from using VSF, cellulosic fibre and pulp as an alternative to cotton and hence the Aditya Birla group is a natural fit with its easily blendable cellulosic fibre.

The JetSpray humidification system from Condair at VMT Spinning Company delivers around 250 litres of moisture per hour to maintain the ideal air humidity.

VMT Spinning Company has recently installed a JetSpray humidification system from Condair in its post winding section, at its state-of-the-art cotton production facility in Baddi, to maintain yarn quality and strength. The JetSpray humidifier was supplied and installed by Condair’s Indian representative, Regent Machine and Servicing, and is capable of delivering around 250 litres of moisture per hour to maintain the ideal air humidity.

Total transparency and accuracy in yarn count is regarded as one of the most crucial quality parameters for yarn trading and yarn processing. Even the slightest variations in yarn count can cause serious fabric defects such as striping, ruining the finished product. So, it’s obvious that control of this parameter is important. Any control is better than none at all, and standard manual methods fall into this category. Automatic measurement of absolute yarn count – and its variations – is therefore much faster, reliable and easier, using the Sensor FA with the USTER® TESTER 6. But how accurate is this high-speed solution? Detailed testing regimes at two spinning mills, in Europe and the USA, provided the answer.

From the 1987 ITMA on, Mayer & Cie. began to receive orders for machines with relative technology. The first three Relanits were shipped to Berlin in January 1988. Jürgen Müller assembled them. He is still with Mayer & Cie., as are his colleagues Johannes Bitzer, Axel Brünner, Rolf Gonser and Thomas Maier. All five of them worked as technicians in final assembly back in 1987. In this interview, they recall their pioneering days with the Relanit.
