MJ 92/1 B, a superlative JACQUARDTRONIC® LACE for a perfect fabric appearance

© 2021 KARL MAYER
With the MJ 92/1 B, KARL MAYER has added an outstanding model to its successful MJ machine series. The newcomer has 92 bars, making it the JACQUARDTRONIC® LACE with the highest number of bars in the portfolio offered by the innovative world market leader.

Committed to symmetry

Thanks to its technical configuration, the MJ 92/1 B produces premium elastic lace articles offering unprecedented flexibility, variety and a clearly defined look and feel, and at an extremely competitive price to boot. Based on proven MJ technology, the MJ 92/1 B is a reliable, flexible production machine with an excellent price/performance ratio.

Greater clarity thanks to counter lapping jacquard technology

The unique patterning performance of the new MJ model has two bars for elastane, a jacquard bar in split execution and 88 pattern guide bars, all arranged together in 16 shogging lines.

This set up of the MJ 92/1 B is targeted predominantly toward the production of elastic galloon lace, and also all-over lace for stylish lingerie items. The products are characterised by an extremely distinct fabric appearance created by a clearly drawn and symmetrically designed jacquard ground.

The two split Jacquard bars work counterlapped and are split-threaded. In addition, the elastane is split into two bars that also work counterlapped mirroring the movement of the Jacquard. In this way complete symmetry is achieved.

In addition to modern counter-lapped jacquard patterns, traditional equal-lapped equivalents can also be produced. Switching between the two options is almost seamless. This flexibility offers customers a competitive advantage.




Shortest payback times

The MJ 92/1 B offers the greatest possible productivity in view of its extraordinary design flexibility, thereby setting new standards in the lace industry. As a result, the investment in the machine soon pays for itself. At a working speed of up to 800 rpm, an average of around 24 m of grey fabric can be produced per hour, using the entire working width and standard yarns.

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.

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.
