With German machine exports for the textile industry to Asia with a value of about 4 billion euros during the last two years and a market share of more than 50% Asia is the most significant market for textile technology - made in Germany. A major manufacturing centre for textile products, China has become the world’s most dynamic market. This has generated enormous demand for high-tech textile machinery. Currently, it has one third of the global textile production capacity.

The ITMA Asia fair has taken place from the 27th to 31st of July this year in Shanghai. The leading trade fair went very well for Terrot due to its presentation of 3 new machines which received praise and acceptance especially by the professional public.

Presented were: the highly efficient and user-friendly new generation of open width machines, a 6-colour Single-Striper machine with unique mechanical precision and productivity as well as a new high production mattress machine. Terrot´s presentation was focussed on innovation, quality awareness, marketability and competitiveness. The realized business transactions exceeded our expectations and are a sign for the correctness and future oriented strategy of Terrot.

S6F348
Single-Jersey 6-Colour Striper machine

TERROT invented the striper technology for knitting machines in 1950. We will now introduce a 6-colour Single Jersey Striper with 4 cam tracks. While knitting large sequences in a single colour, the machine will automatically speed-up by about 25%, thereby increasing productivity. Thanks to this „Terrot Speed-up Function“ the speed of 27 rpm will be increased to around 32 rpm which results in a production output unknown from other striper machines in the market. The long tradition of TERROT as a leading manufacturer of high performance striper machines will thus be continued by this introduction. The unique Terrot technique with independent drapers and scissors will also guarantee unmatched security in yarn changing of all synthetic and spun yarn qualities.

S296-1 Open Width
Single-Jersey High Production with a new compact Open Width Frame

As early as 1999 in Paris TERROT was first to introduce a Single Jersey Circular Knitting machine where the tubular fabric was cut and wound-up in open condition directly in the machine. This improved new S296-1 is now available with a very compact open width frame which offers very easy handling by the operator. This innovative design was demanded by the market. The speed factor is 1050 (35 rpm in 30 inch).

UCC572M
Electronically controlled Double-Jersey Jacquard machine

Most of the knitted fabrics for Mattress Ticking's are at present produced by 38 inch machines with 60 feeders. With its new 90 feeders, this UCC572M will be in a class by itself with a productivity increase of 50% and around 30 kg/h production output. The 3-Way-Technique on all 90 feeders UCC572M permits an unlimited kind of applications such as Mesh, Spacer, Blister etc. The versatility of this UCC572 is unmatched in the market place.
