KARL MAYER has introduced the HKS 3-M model having a width of 280 inches. Like all HKS three-bar machines, the new machine offers multiple features. The high-speed tricot machine operates with a 3 x 32" beam mounting arrangement as standard. It is available with a mounting configuration with a diameter of 40" for beam position GB 1, and 32" each for beam positions GB 2 and GB 3. Just like the machines having a smaller working width, the HKS 3-M, 280", is available in the gauges of E 28 and E 32.

The machine can be equipped with the new KAMCOS® 2 efficient computer platform, the LEO® Low Energy Option for energy-efficient running, and a camera monitoring system above or below the web. A face plate under the textile web for monitoring transparent fabrics is also available as an option. The knitting motions and elements are the same as on the existing machines. This machine delivers the dependable quality typical of all KARL MAYER’s machines. It can be supervised easily and operates steadily and reliably with low maintenance requirements. It is also extremely efficient. The HKS 3-M, 280", operates at a maximum speed of 2,200 min-1.
