At ITMA, Barcelona in June 2019, Karl Mayer illustrated how easily yarns can be processed on its warp knitting machines whilst conserving resources at the same time. During the fair, the new HKS 3-M-ON produced a patterned tricot fabric carrying Trevira’s Sinfineco label. Karl Mayer is the world leader in the manufacture of textile machinery.

Trevira, a fibre producer, awards the label for textiles that are produced from its sustainable products. The range includes fibres and filaments made entirely from high-quality, recycled chips. The regranulate is obtained from PET bottles.

In Barcelona, the high-speed tricot machine processed a textured polyester filament yarn of dtex 76 f 24 and ran non-stop at 2,900 rpm with no constraints during the demonstration. A top-quality fabric with a small eco-footprint was produced.
