iNTERSPARE presents technical advances of its machinery at KNIT-TECH

The new iNTERSPARE Krantz Syncro was presented for the first time at ITMA 2015 in Milan (c) 2017 iNTERSPARE

Together with its agent in India Global Group, the German company iNTERSPARE Textilmaschinen will present the Artos (Babcock Textilmaschinen) and Krantz product lines of its machinery portfolio at the KNIT-TECH trade fair in Tirupur which will take place from 10 to 13 February at Hi-Tech Tirupur Exhibition Centre. iNTERSPARE and Global Group will be giving a special presentation at their 72m2 booth B11/B12 addressing finishing companies active in the field of sophisticated knitted products.

Visitors at the booth will get latest information about how iNTERSPARE can help Indian textile companies taking the lead and producing highest quality with high productivity.

In addition visitors will learn more about the new Artos, Babcock and Krantz textile machines and in particular about the new version of the legendary Krantz Syncro shrink dryer. Since ITMA in Milan, orders from India have been coming in thick and fast, some of which have already been delivered; others are still in production at the plant in Reinbek.

At KNIT-TECH iNTERSPARE looks forward to a great number of expert discussions about the current challenges facing Indian knitting companies, since it is with knitted products that Artos and Krantz machines can really show off their technical advantages. A soft touch is the result of delicate handling of the product, both during the drying process and in particular during shrink drying.

Product tests in India

iNTERSPARE also offers interested companies in particular from India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh the opportunity to test the desired product on a Krantz Syncro shrink dryer right there in India, and thereby get a valuable and personal impression of the quality of the finished product.

At the booth iNTERSPARE will give special technical presentations about:

What makes the insulation of the new Artos and Krantz machines the best in the world and why this is a very important feature
What are the unbeatable advantages of the tumbler flap which gives the fabric special touch and volume
