Mayer & Cie, a Germany-based manufacturer and seller of circular knitting machines and parts, is all set to exhibit innovative textile applications at the upcoming technology trade fair Techtextil 2017 in Frankfurt, Germany.
The requirement of elastic and shape retaining fabric for the manufacturing of mattress covers can be achieved by company’s OVJA 1.6 EM HS and OVJA 1.6 EE models. Upholstered furniture of all kinds is another segment using circular knitting machines to make covers where company’s inter alia, the MCPE 2.4, a machine for coloured all-over plush jacquard fabrics serves the purpose.
Another highlight of Mayer & Cie is Relanit 0.8, which does not use conventional yarns to manufacture fabrics. It knits spun steel fibres or copper, steel and silver wire, glass fibre, carbon fibre or carbon – including in combination with cotton and synthetic yarns.
“However, there will be no Mayer & Cie. machines on show in Frankfurt because our customers are exhibiting their products here. We are showing existing and prospective customers which machine could manufacture the fabric in question now or in the future. We are demonstrating everything that circular knitting machines are capable of making,” said Thomas Zizmann, Sales Manager In Charge, Mayer & Cie.

Furthermore, spinitsystems, the technology that combines spinning, cleaning and knitting will be the part of the company’s presentation at Techtextil. The Spinit 3.0 E, the first machine to use the technology, processes a composite fibre and not the finished yarn. “That is why the options differ fundamentally from those of circular knitting technology. The machine has only processed cotton, but that is set to change in the near future. I am very much looking forward to the ideas and questions that Techtextil visitors come up with,” said Michael A. Tuschak, Marketing and Sales – spinitsystems, Mayer & Cie.
Mayer & Cie. manufactures the entire range of machines required for making modern textiles. Fabrics for home textiles, sportswear, nightwear and swimwear, seat covers, underwear and technical uses can be made on the company’s knitting machines.
