Composed by a DOSORAMA WSL dispensing machine + DYRAMA dyeing modules for yarn bobbins of different sizes, the DOS&DYE® 6000 is capable of continuous operation, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, even in the absence of assigned personnel, until the material still to be dyed in the parking lot is exhausted. It is possible to perform one dyeing after another proceeding without interruption, finish the set dyeing schedules, and go all the way to FINAL quality control.

There is no "sampling" of color shade verification because the DOS&DYE® 6000 can guarantee a "RIGHT FIRST TIME" of 96%-98%, this peculiarity enables rapid production for fast deliveries just in time with excellent technical quality.

Visitors can discover all the solutions at ACIMIT booth - Hall 6 Stand C50 during ITMA ASIA in Shanghai from 14 to 18 October 2024.

MUNICH FABRIC START: Between Attitude and Sensuality

The future begins where we reimagine it. After seasons of restraint, Spring.Summer 27 marks a conscious counter-trend: optimism, sensuality, and creative freedom are replacing pragmatism and neutrality. Physical presence and individuality are regaining importance – as a response to uncertainty, exhaustion, and algorithmic predictability. The overarching theme of PLEASURE stands for fashion as an emotional space, as an expression of attitude and cultural reflection. Colours, surfaces, and materials become vehicles for self-confidence and joie de vivre.

PERFORMANCE DAYS: Focus topic shifts to the beginning of the value chain

Following the last Focus Topic in October 2025, which placed Textile-to-Textile Recycling at its core, PERFORMANCE DAYS continues to drive the conversation around circularity – this time with an expanded and more upstream perspective. The upcoming Focus Topic, “Textile to Textile: The Role of Collectors and Sorters,” presented during the spring edition on March 18–19, will spotlight one of the most essential yet often overlooked components of a functioning circular textile system: the efficient collection and sorting of post-consumer textiles.

Proven performance, optimised costs – the new RE 6 EL

Nowadays textile companies increasingly need to produce small production runs and respond to market changes with instantaneous pattern changes in order to operate profitably – meaning they require machines that offer maximum flexibility, reliability and cost efficiency. KARL MAYER understands the challenges of the market and is launching its new RE 6 EL. The Raschel machine offers the core strengths of the classic RSE 6 EL and essentially the same performance parameters, but has been further cost-optimised largely due to local production advantages. This makes the newcomer an efficiency champion in production, especially when it comes to frequent pattern changes.
