Picanol India, a leading provider of weaving machines has seen steady growth in its market share of late. Picanol is participating at Techtextil India to be held in Mumbai from October 3 to 5, 2013, and will showcase its latest advances in energy- and waste-saving. Samples of fabrics, and critical machine-parts and comprehensive video footage will be on display at the exhibition. Techtextil India, is an international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens.
Picanol has always been a frontrunner in adapting its weaving machines to weave industrial fabrics like tarpaulins and conveyor belts. Picanol weaving machines offered for technical fabrics are made in Europe, based on two platforms, the OMNI plus Summum airjet and the OptiMax positive gripper. This gripper is available in all widths and is mainly used for wider width applications in the technical segment: a variety of very demanding fabrics such as one-piece-woven airbags, super-wide (540 cm) agro-textiles, industrial glass, para-aramides, monofilaments etc.
The development was a logical step for Picanol in order to fulfil the increasing demand from the technical markets. Where needed, modular adaptations have been designed to extend the weaving range.
One of these modular adaptations is the new guided positive gripper, offered in widths of up to 540 cm. This machines aims at markets, previously served by wide projectile machines. Positive guided gripper-technology however offers a more economical solution and adds versatility and ease of operation.
