Benefits such as breakage and fewer faults in the fabric were substantially reduced by the minimum stress on the yarn, as well as maximum productivity and quality, today form the accepted standard for profitable, high-quality single jersey production. This knitting machine makes for the ideal combination of single jersey and structures with stripes, as relative movement technology affords free visual and physical access to the needle bed. This knitting machine is provided with 5-colour striping, or optionally 10-colour striping using 2 feeder. Although the machines which make up the basicline series are "thoroughbred" mayer & cie circular knitting machines which compiles with stringent mayer & cie standards in technical and qualitative terms, a new production concept and widespread standardisation and optimisation of the materials used has allowed this machine series to be offered with a more affordable price tag than the mayer & cie standard range. One of the exhibits that attracted many was the single jersey basicline s4-3.2 machine. This machine is provided with open-width device. This basicline machine supplies every conceivable feature for top quality single jersey knits in 2 and 4 needle structures as well as single jersey plated. Some of the technical features of the basicline machine include: it covers the whole range of currently popular fabric weights in the clothing sector and achieves the high output one would generally expect from mayer & cie of 2.4 m/sec, corresponding to 35 rpm with a 30" diameter. The s4-3.2 is offered in diameters ranging from 30" to 38" and gauges from e18 to e32. Up to 4 needle types each for 3 needle positions offer wide scope for different fabric constructions. Ther is also a facility for resetting to three-thread fleece makes the s43.2 more flexible still. The basic line machine is equipped as standard with high-precision triple plating ceramic feeders.Basicline circular knitting machines open up the world of mayer & cie quality to circular knitting factories which were previously restricted to lower-cost options. These basic line machines provide the idea entry level alternative which is applied a substantial increase in performance - both in terms of fabric quality and productivity, and consequently profit.
