The circular knitting machines can knit the following yarns:

  • Aramid - up to 5000dtex

  • Wire - with a diameter of up to 1mm (steel, copper, etc.)

  • Glass fiber

  • Sisal

  • Monofilament

  • Plastic fibers

  • Cotton

  • etc.

Depending on the gauge, it is possible to knit yarn from 5 dtex up to 20000 dtex.

A selection of products that can be produced on our circular knitting machines are as follows:

  • radiator Hose

  • garden hoses

  • shock absorber

  • seals

  • filter

  • knee pads

  • bandages

  • and many more

Spiraling machines

Horizontal-operating spiraling machine carrying 2 x 8/12/16/24 yarn cones, intended for the continuous online operation between 2 extruders covering with a layer of spiraling or optional for  knitted fabric on plastic-, silicon- and rubber tubes.



Machine-specification:

  • Direct feed of the tubing through the machine at a height of one meter.

  • Tubing haul-out effected by either a caterpillar haul-out device (800 mm, long/90 mm wide), special sizes are possible.

  • Stitch or knock length are electronically selected and monitored.

  • Solid, stable machine construction, with full-noise-suppressant guards, to ensure safe and quiet machine operation.

  • All revolving machine elements are mounted on ball bearings and are therefore maintenance-free.

  • A special yarn feed system, with yarn end detectors guarantee an even stitch or folding pattern (patented).

  • Both folded and unfolded yarns can be used.

  • One air brake operated for each machine ensures that the machine is stop within three seconds, even if the mains power and air supply fail.

  • Spiral heads can be exchanged easily (parted construction available).

  • Stitch size and tolerance, machine operating speed, production speed, length of production, operating hours, etc. can all be shown on display. Other options are also possible.

  • A new patent for controlling the tension of the yarn give the producer the possibility to spiral around a hose without a core. The tension of yarn is adjustable from 30 – 120 cN. or higher. Also it could be used cylindrical cones , dipped yarn, or other difficulties yarns.

  • The production of coreless hoses is more easyser or make it possible.
