Itema, the largest privately-owned manufacturer of best-in-class weaving machines, spare parts and services, plans to exhibit its capabilities at ITMACH India (Hall 6 / A33-34 & B1-2) from December 7 to December 10 at The Exhibition Centre, Gandhinagar, in Gujarat, India.

The Italy-based company is participating for the second time in a row at ITMACH, considering this event as the best opportunity to showcase its technological prowess and worldwide organisation to the Gujarat textile industry.

Itema is uniquely positioned to offer textile manufacturers the top three weft insertion technologies like rapier, airjet and projectile, in what is the most comprehensive portfolio on the market today to weave the widest range of fabrics.

During the 2017 edition of ITMACH, Itema will exhibit its best-in-class airjet weaving machine A9500p, in an execution tailored to weave the most popular fabric in the basin, denim.

Airjet weft insertion technology is the most diffused to weave denim, due to the highest possible production speed achievable. Especially when it comes to weaving simple denim fabric constructions, airjet machines ensure the best ratio between productivity and fabric quality.

Itema developed and implemented advanced technical innovations on its airjet machines to easily overcome this limit and to meet the growing trend of weaving stretch denim. Besides, Itema patented and highly innovative solutions allow denim mills to benefit from a significant reduction in energy consumption.

What makes the Itema A9500p the most innovative airjet weaving machine in the market is a winning duo of crucial advantages like the highest production speed and the lowest power consumption in the market.

The popular recent trend to weave stretch and super stretch denim fabrics with dedicated weft yarns inspired Itema to create and patent the innovative Brush Lycra Clamp (BLC) – nozzle to weave elastic weft yarns. Thanks to the BLC nozzle, the weft is held without movable parts to ensure superior fabric quality and reliability.

The device is simple and yet ingenious since the BLC is fixed into the main nozzle performing the valuable task of keeping the elastic weft yarn avoiding defects due to the continuous air flow.

The Itema iREED® significantly reduces the air consumption and guarantees a higher efficient weft insertion. The new reed tunnel shape and new position of the relay nozzle optimise air flow in the reed channel for a higher efficiency weft insertion.

The saving is also due to a reduced air pressure and to the single hole relay nozzle, which, at the same time, greatly reduces the need for maintenance of the Itema airjet weaving machine.

The Itema A9500p with its double tandem nozzles enables cost savings and superior fabric quality. The double tandem nozzles guarantee a perfect distribution of the pushing force on the weft using lower air pressure, thus leading to multiple benefits like reduced stress on the yarn allowing top fabric quality and the possibility to weave with lower pressure, ensuring energy saving.

Featuring these advanced and denim-dedicated devices, the Itema A9500p ensures the weaver the possibility to weave faster, producing better fabrics and with a smarter usage of resources and will be running live throughout the exhibition.
