Itema is the largest privately owned multinational company and global leading provider of best-in-class weaving machines, spare parts and services. It is first and foremost a rapier terry loom manufacturer. The brand’s new R9500 terry is a racehorse when it comes to terry weaving. What makes the R9500 terry an extraordinary weaving machine for terry weavers is the sturdy structure and reliable mechanical components and the exceptional textiles results obtained due to an extensive and thorough R&D work. Unparalleled textile quality is guaranteed by a winning trio of innovative devices: the new positive pile back-rest roller, the new pile formation unit and the new ground back-rest roller.
The A9500p is its best-in-class airjet machine. It is equipped with a new and innovative feature: the double tandem nozzles, which ensure enhanced machine efficiency and superior fabric quality. The nozzles guarantee a perfect distribution of the pushing force on the weft using a lower air pressure, thus leading to a double benefit: reduced stress on the yarn allowing top fabric quality and, at the same time, the possibility to weave with a lower pressure ensuring energy saving.
The rapier weaving machine R9500p is the perfect machine in segments such as denim and shirting due to its best-in-class technical advancements which guarantee unbeatable performances, speed and versatility.
