Vahdet Tekstil Makina, Turkey-based textile machinery specialist, has successfully developed a process which allows converting conventional tubular circular knitting machines into open width knitting machines. The company reports that it has converted more than 500 knitting machines worldwide so far. This innovative process has been certified with Utility Model Certificate by Turkish Patent Institute.
