On the airjet technology side, the A9500 – featuring a bed sheeting style – will run with the latest improvements designed to excel in the market. The brand-new Full Width Reed Tuckers guarantee weavers the possibility to reduce reed stock and increase the flexibility of the machine. Additionally, the brand-new Double Tandem Nozzles ensure superior fabric quality and significant cost savings.
Also, a stretch denim fabric will be woven on the A9500p, the racehorse model with the patented and innovative BLC – Brush Lycra Clamp – nozzle to weave elastic weft yarns. The weft is held without movable parts to ensure superior fabric quality and reliability. The Itema iREED® significantly reduces the air consumption and guarantees a higher efficient weft insertion.
The third airjet machine is an A9500p weaving a top-quality yarn-dyed shirting with patented feature – the ELD Electronic Leno Device, which with its innovative design, self-cleaning and no need to wind the leno spools, provides a perfect leno binding even at highest speeds, whilst significantly reducing operational costs.
