With its exhibition at ITMA ASIA + CITME, KARL MAYER warp preparation has focused on the topics of sustainability and efficiency and has hit the mark. The exhibits are among the top topics of conversation at the KARL MAYER GROUP stand. On display here is a latest generation warping machine with a maximum working speed of 1,200 m/min, the brand new CASCADE system for significantly reducing steam consumption, costs and environmental impact during sizing, and the also new Smart Size Box – a sophisticated technology that makes a valuable contribution to predictive maintenance by monitoring the condition of wearing components and thus aroused the curiosity of many visitors, including a delegation from Pinhua Garments Co. Ltd.
The renowned company, based in Shijiazhuang in northeast China, specializes in the processing of recycled staple fibers, paying attention to high efficiency and low water consumption. An ISOSIZE and a sizing machine from an earlier generation from KARL MAYER are already in production in its warp preparation. Pinhua Garments has now invested in another innovative warp preparation solution, a PROSIZE with VSB Size Box. With the signing of the contract, the state-of-the-art sizing equipment is celebrating its premiere on the Chinese market.
At the trade fair, the experts from Pinhua Garments first familiarized themselves with the possibilities of the Smart Size BOX HSB and expressed great interest in the latest development for the sizing sector. The advantages of the advanced solution include fewer unplanned downtimes and maintenance costs and thus more efficient, but also quality-assured production processes.
The PROSIZE
Like all PROSIZE size boxes, the new development enables a wetting factor of up to 100%, with a maximum finishing speed of 160 m/min; 200 m/min is also optionally possible.
In addition to the Smart Size Box, the Size Box VSB was the subject of the exchange with Pinhua Garments Co. The innovative sizing equipment works with a highly efficient application technology that requires up to 10% less sizing additives compared to the immersion bath process. This saves costs, energy during desizing and waste water. In addition, the tension control of the threads by the sizing system is perfect – an important argument for the sophisticated processing of cotton. This performance convinced Pinhua Garments. The company ordered a PROSIZE with VSB Size Box.
“The investment is a vote of confidence. I am pleased with our customer’s willingness to grow with our various machine generations and developments.”Gabriel Chiu, Regional Sales Manager China of the KARL MAYER Warp Preparation Division.
