These machines running with up to 16 filling colors, can be combined with Jacquard machines with up to 20,000 lifting hooks. The special strength of positive filling insertion is important for technical fabrics where cloth density and weight as well as insertion of extremely challenging yarns are highly demanding for the machine. The air cushion guided rapier rod with AirGuide® technology is the perfect technical solution for contact-free aerostatic support.</p><p>The excellent performance of the DORNIER rapier machine is demonstrated during Shanghaitex with 8 colors combined with 14 heald frames producing a variety of upholstery fabrics.</p><p>Air-jet weaving machines</p><p>The second machine shown is a 390 cm wide air-jet weaving machine producing a denim fabric in double width. With a speed of 600 rpm a much higher productivity is reached at a far lower maintenance rate than with usual single width machines. Through the patented pressure regulation system, ServoControl®, thread load is being minimized whereas pressure adjustment, also for yarn lot changes, functions automatically and reproducibly resulting in better performance and a better final fabric quality without any start-marks.</p><p>By demonstrating two weaving machines at a time DORNIER is giving the audience an overall impression of the variety and flexibility of their system family. </p><p>Improved quality in knit-good finishing with high potential in machine innovation</p><p>DORNIER has also established itself as one of the market leaders in the textile finishing machines sector for tubular knitwear. The visitor will be informed about their variety of machinery for the finishing processes such as singeing, heat setting, bleaching, mercerising and crease- mark free de-watering, in tubular form. The new system with patented, motor-driven circular expanders for circular knitted fabric refinement applicable in all DORNIER finishing machines fulfils the highest practical demands for quality and economic efficiency. </p><p>Based on a 1:5 model of its continuous mercerising machine type EcoMerc/2 the principle of the mercerising process with the DORNIER patented circular expander will be shown.</p><p>Interested parties please visit http://www.2456.com/shanghaitex for more information about SHANGHAITEX 2007.</p><p>- END -</p><p>For exhibiting, please contact Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd Tel: (852) 2516 3354 / 3520 / 3341 Fax: (852) 2516 5024 Email: [email protected] Contact Person: Ms. Eriko Chan / Mr. Kiyo Fung / Ms. Iris Choi</p><p>Media and visitor inquiry, please contact: Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd Shanghai Textile Technology Service & 6/F 321 Java Road, North Point, Hong Kong Exhibition Center 25/F, Heng Da Plaza, 285, Chang Shou Road, Hong Kong Shanghai 200060, PR China Tel: (852) 2516 3348 / 2516 3340 Contact Person: Mr. Hong Qizhen Fax (852) 2516 5024 Tel: (86) 21 6277 5353 Contact Person: Fax: (86) 21 6227 0002 Ms. Fiona Pang/ Ms. Vivien Wong Email: [email protected] Shenzhen Tel: (86 –755) 8826 5628 Shanghai International Exhibition Co., Ltd.
