Armas Makina Draws Attention with the KnitMaster HT Jigger XL Developed for Knitted Fabrics
Having been operating in the textile machinery sector for many years, Armas Makina has added a new innovative step to its sector with the KnitMaster HT Jigger XL model, which it developed to provide solutions to the precision problems encountered in the finishing processes of knitted fabrics.
Drawing attention to the deformation problems experienced in classical jigger systems, especially due to the elastic structure of knitted fabrics, the company aims to directly respond to the needs in this area with its newly developed model.
Structure Compatible with Knitted Fabrics and Precise Process Control
Developed by Armas Makina’s engineering team, the KnitMaster HT Jigger XL stands out with its automatic tension control, low-tension drive systems and high-precision guidance technologies. These systems aim to prevent quality losses that may occur on the fabric surface while ensuring that knitted fabrics are processed without any damage.
The machine’s high winding diameter, up to 1,400 mm, allows for the processing of long-length fabrics without interruption. This increases process efficiency and reduces tension problems caused by stop-and-go operations.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Production
Energy efficiency is a common feature of the systems developed by Armas Makina. The KnitMaster HT Jigger XL is reported to consume less energy and water compared to conventional systems, thanks to the thermal insulation systems used and the energy-saving structure implemented during the process. In this respect, the company highlights not only the production capacity of the machine but also its contribution to sustainability goals.
Positive Feedback from the Field
It is stated that the machine has made a positive contribution to the processes in the production facilities where the KnitMaster HT Jigger XL has been started-up. Feedback is received that it has greatly reduced the problems encountered in the processing of knitted fabrics in particular and that it can be easily adapted by operators. Armas Makina states that feedback from users has been integrated into the product development process and that the system continues to prove its performance in the field.
Ease of Maintenance and Service Infrastructure
Keeping machine maintenance requirements to a minimum provides businesses with long-term operational advantages. Armas Makina’s extensive technical service network expedites post-installation support processes, while services such as operator training and process consulting are also available to customers.
R&D and Experience-Based Production Approach
Armas Makina emphasizes that it combines its years of machinery manufacturing experience and R&D strength in this new model. The KnitMaster HT Jigger XL not only offers a customized technical solution for knitted fabrics but also contributes to enhancing the competitiveness of businesses.
Armas Makina is Nearing the Mass Production Phase of Its Single-Drive Jigger System
One of the projects that Armas Makina has been focusing on recently is the single-drive jigger machine design, which it developed entirely with its own engineering infrastructure. Within the scope of this project, which the R&D department has focused on especially in the last two years, a new generation jigger concept has been created that operates with a more compact structure, fewer moving parts and optimized drive power.
Company officials state that significant success has been achieved in this study and that, following field tests, the necessary steps have been taken to put the system into mass production as an innovative product. The new model is expected to offer significant advantages over existing systems in terms of both mechanical simplicity and energy efficiency.
