Karl Mayer, a leading manufacturer of warp knitting machines, said that towels can not only be used to dry the body, but also to steal the limelight from bathing beauties. The German company stated that you only need to look at the exaggerated examples on this page to understand how to do it. The company adds that whether you are around the pool, on the beach, or even just next to the washbasin in the bathroom, the terry fabric produced by Karl Mayer can create vibrant hues in bright colors.

The fabric is produced by TM 4-TS EL and double-sided fabric is used to ensure that the finished product is not only a necessary bath product, but also a real eye-catching work. There is a dense cotton ring on one side, which quickly absorbs moisture from the skin after bathing, and gently sticks to the body. Karl Mayer explained that the other side is made of sheared polyester. Its soft texture allows you to relax, while its smooth finish makes it easier to print and dry faster.

The imaginative design was created at Zimmer Austria using digital printing technology. Melanie Bergmann, textile developer at Karl Mayer, was very satisfied with the results: “The colors are extremely vivid and vivid, with clear contours. Even the finest lines are clearly defined,” said the textile engineer.

The company said that the warp knitting technology and the firmly integrated loops ensure that the colorful towels can be enjoyed for a long time in the future. It added that the fluffy fiber layer has strong tensile resistance, and the long service life and ecological advantages in production distinguish warp knitted loop products from woven products.

Karl Mayer explained that TM 4-TS EL does not require compressed air like traditional air-jet rapier looms, so the energy consumption per kilogram of fabric produced is reduced by about 87%. Warp knitting also eliminates the sizing process. The company added that this can save approximately US$0.20/kg of textile chemicals, wastewater and energy. Karl Mayer added that this is equivalent to 30% of the raw material production cost (not including yarn). In addition to saving costs, the terry warp knitting machine is extremely efficient. TM 4-TS EL has a width of 186 inches and a speed of 800 rpm. It can produce about 1,800 kg of terry cloth weighing 400 g/m² in 24 hours of operation every day. Karl Mayer concluded that this is about 250% higher than the air-jet rapier loom.
