Karl Mayer sees strong demand for composites machines

Karl Mayer Technical Textiles has reported strong
demand for its MAX GLASS ECO and TM WEFT 2
machines, launched last year. The machines have been well
received in the composite and fashion sectors, with doubledigit
sales recorded in China and India during 2024.
The company anticipates
further success in 2025,
with eight new enquiries
for the TM WEFT 2
machine from Chinese
customers in early
January. A recent
installation in a
traditional waterjet
weaving region has
demonstrated the
machine’s environmental
benefits, reducing wastewater impact while significantly
improving efficiency. Traditional warp knitting customers
are also exploring its potential for new applications.
The TM WEFT 2 offers a compelling price-performance
ratio, user-friendly operation, and a long service life. It is
20% more efficient than its predecessor, featuring
improvements in the crankcase system and proven carbon
bar technology.
Meanwhile, the MAX
GLASS ECO
provides a costeffective
solution for
producing standard
glass fibre fabrics.
Key customers
include
manufacturers in the
wind power sector,
benefiting from its
high output of up to 410 metres per hour at 1800 rpm.
Customisable with optional features, the machine delivers
increased efficiency at a reduced amortisation period.
