A new circular knitting machine knits 3 threads in 3 plies per feeder. The first plated thread is 50 % visible on the fabric face, while the second plated thread is located inside the fabric and therefore concealed, allowing both threads to be used as a functional thread adding a function to the fabric. This new technology produces fine rib knit goods and 3D spacer fabrics capable of addressing a varied application spectrum. Fine rib with functional threads can be used, for instance, to provide a shield against electromagnetic waves (EMC) in articles of clothing. The functional thread can be used for the electrical transmission of heat in outdoor clothing or seat covers. Technit D3 fabrics are a particularly suitable option wherever durability is called for: In the home textile and automotive sectors for upholstered furniture, for linings and seat covers, or for inner linings and inlay soles in shoes. The Technit D3 comes with up to 4 needle tracks and is offered as standard with a machine frame for 520 mm fabric rolls and Quick-Change for simple gauge conversion, and in a choice of a rib or spacer fabric version. The relevant conversion kit is offered as an optional extra, allowing one machine to be used for producing both rib and spacer fabrics. Changing cam parts also permits the production of Interlock- based knit goods. The Technit D3 is optionally available with an industrial frame (920 mm fabric bales), a Gigant frame (1250 mm fabric bales), or with an open-width frame. Patents are pending for all the patentable developments associated with the Technit D3.
