Leading computerized knitting machine manufacturer SHIMA SEIKI of Wakayama, Japan will be exhibiting at the 12th Dhaka International Textile & Garment Machinery Exhibition (DTG 2015) in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in cooperation with its partner Pacific Associates Ltd. Operating within the Bangladeshi market since 1996, this will be the eighth time the Japanese manufacturer will participate at DTG. As an established market for knitwear manufacturing, Bangladesh has seen a significant increase in knit production for export purposes in recent years.
At the same time, buyers are demanding quicker turnaround for orders with more variety. Add to that the current demand for higher wages and improved working conditions, and the result is the current trend in transference of technology from manually operated hand-flat knitting machines to computerized flat knitting machines. At DTG 2015 SHIMA SEIKI will be exhibiting its latest solutions to meet those current needs, as well as advanced innovations in preparation for market needs in the near future, or for those enterprises that are in search of a distinguishing market advantage among current competition. In such a way, DTG 2015 will be a platform for SHIMA SEIKI to distinguish itself from its competition as an innovative company with the strength and resource to lead the Bangladeshi knitting industry into the future.
Exhibited Technology
MACH2SIR123-SV 14G
SHIMA SEIKI's intarsia specialty machine MACH2SIR offers tremendously high productivity worthy of its "MACH" name. With a maximum of 40 intarsia carriers, MACH2SIR features the largest number of intarsia feeders available. Maximum knitting speed of 1.4 meters per second in combination with the new R2CAR- RIAGE System which achieves quicker carriage returns after each course, dramatically improves efficiency and productivity in intarsia production. Previously, programming for knitting with so many intarsia carriers would have been overwhelming, but that issue is solved with the latest automatic yarn carrier setting soft- ware on SDS-ONE APEX3 design system.
SVR122-SV 5G
Developed as the new industry standard for computerized shaped knitting, SVR122 is SHIMA SEIKI's latest model workhorse machine. High productivity is achieved with a maximum knitting speed of 1.4 meters per second, as well as with the R2CARRIAGE System that achieves quicker carriage returns. SVR122 features the latest SHIMA SEIKI technology, such as DSCS Digital Stitch Control System, full-time spring-loaded sinker system, stitch presser, yarn gripper and cutter and takedown comb among others. With SVR, SHIMA SEIKI establishes a new benchmark for shaped knitting in the tradition of the company's legendary SES and SSG machines.
NSES122CS 3G
Featuring SHIMA SEIKI's compound needle and sinker system, NSES122CS is a computerized knitting machine specializing in the production of coarse gauge knitwear.
