Leading Italian knitting machine manufacturer Santoni Group will be showing a wide range of machines used for producing knitwear, socks and seamless wear at this year’s Inlegmash show to be held from April 22 to 25 in Moscow. The machines on display include several models from the group’s Sangiacomo socks knitting machines and Mec-Mor open panel circular knitting machines, as well as its Santoni brand circular knitting machines for seamless garments.
The Mec-Mor open panel circular knitting machine with circular motion has been completely redesigned into a new smaller model called the Compact. The Mec-Mor Compact has most of the advantages of the larger model but now the feeds are no longer divided into specialised knit stitches and transfer stitches. Now each feed is completely integral, which allows the selection of knit or bidirectional transfer in the same feed.
Santoni’s Top2 machine meant for seamless underwear production, especially in the shapewear market has been refined to knit the finest gauge yarns in gauge 40E .This fine gauge machine represents a technological breakthrough for a new dimension of light seamless shapewear garments suitable for spring and summer.
SM8- TR1 is capable of producing innovative fabrics based on fibres that offer natural anti-bacterial and anti-odour properties and natural UV and skin soothing properties. The machine is widely accepted as the best machine for knitting seamless sportswear garments as it allows the production of garments with enhanced ventilation and wicking properties. In addition, the 8 feed machine also has special knitting needles, with a Santoni-patented collar. This allows stitch transfer on the single cylinder machine when knitting mesh to give extremely secure fabric with a very even surface appearance. It is also possible to knit mesh areas anywhere in the garment including diagonally aligned holes and extremely small meshes.
Apart from these a number of Sangiacomo socks knitting machines like Strong, Star D, and HT1 will also be showcased at Inlegmash.
