Taiwan based knitting machinery manufacturing giant Pai Lung Machinery Mill attracted a significant number of interested visitors at this month’s ITMA 2015 in Milan. With new technology in 13 different circular and flat knitting machines and a display of hundreds of roles of fabric, Pai Lung presented its capabilities in line with the ITMA 2015 theme of ‘Sustainability.’
According to the company, the most exciting development was its SPINIT technology, an advanced concept and revolutionary technology combining spinning and knitting. The cost of knitted fabric from SPINIT is significantly lower than traditional processes, Pai Lung estimating that savings of up to 37 per cent can be made in equipment costs, power supply and labour costs.
Another new technology introduced was its ‘inverse plating’ on its PLF-IP132 flat knitting machine. However, innovative circular knitting technology is always the key attraction at Pai Lung’s booth and the company introduced its new circular knitting technologies under new fabric designations as Active mesh- a single jersey with eyelet jacquard fabric made by a full jacquard rib-mesh machine, ‘3D embossing’ - a new yarn inlay knitting technology on Pai Lung’s PL-KD2, ‘Duplexknit’, ‘Multi-fleece’ is produced on Pai Lung’s PL-KFCJ 34“, 28GG, 72 feeders machine, ‘Warm terry’ is made on Pai Lung’s PL-KDPS-HP high pile shearing machine in 36-inch diameter with 14 gauge on the dial, and 28 gauge in the cylinder, with 56 feeders for high volume pile fabric production.
Many other developments and fabric applications were also shown on Pai Lung’s 880 square metres booth.
