Karl Mayer has introduced the RE 4-1 Raschel machine, designed to enhance efficiency in producing highly elastic textiles. This new model expands the company's Elastomeric series and complements the existing RE 4-1 machine, focusing on the volume business with a compelling price-performance ratio. It promises to match the speed and quality of its premium counterpart.
The RE 4-1 is designed to be highly appealing to price-sensitive markets, including China and Turkey, by offering cost-effective production of standard Power net articles. The 170-inch model has already achieved notable success in China, and a new 190-inch version will be introduced to global markets starting in July 2024. Sascha Muller, Product Owner Global Lace &Raschel at Karl Mayer, highlighted the machine's effectiveness in these markets.
Equipped with E 28 and E 32 gauges, and optional features like yarn tension sensors and LED lighting, the RE 4-1 is optimized for producing elastic and non-elastic fabrics, primarily for the lingerie market. It excels in manufacturing Power net, a key material in bras, sportswear, and swimwear, as well as other fabrics like RaschelLocknit and Satin net.
The machine’s debut at ITM 2024 in Istanbul was well-received, reinforcing Karl Mayer's strategic direction in the market.
