Bonas Si27: Top of the Shed Innovator range

The new Si27 jacquard is the highest hook capacity jacquard in the Bonas family. With its 27,648 hooks it enables the production of high density fabrics at unrivalled speed.

Compared to previous models, the power consumption has been lowered still by a newly designed selection and drive mechanism.The new selection mechanism features the 100% electronic Bonas micro-selector that allows full diagnostics. The drive system has also been redesigned resulting in a lighter and balanced drive mechanism with minimal vibrations.

Si jacquards are the most condensed jacquards in the market today occupying 40% less space than comparable jacquards with the same hook capacity.In some cases, these very compact jacquards can even be directly installed on the loom, using a superstructure.
