Denim Weaving Machines on Show

A9500p
The Itema airjet A9500p ensures to denim weavers unbeatable speed and superior fabric quality. Optimal performances are ensured when weaving the widest range of denim fabrics, including elastic styles.

UNPARALLELED COST SAVINGS:
01. iREED®
Innovative reed channel shape and new single hole relay nozzles placed in optimal position
Reduced air consumption up to 23%
Reduced maintenance and cleaning in the single hole relay nozzle

02. Double Tandem Nozzles
The Itema newly designed double tandem nozzles is the perfect solution to couple high textile performances and reduced air consumption. In fact, the two nozzles ensure an ideal distribution of the pushing force on the weft using lower air pressure.
Softer weft acceleration
Decrease in air consumption due to lower requirement of pressure
Higher weft insertion efficiency due to less stress on weft yarns

03. RTC – Real Time Control
Unique system to optimize opening and closing of relay nozzles.
Self adjustment of relay nozzles blowing according to the position of the weft tip during the entire weft insertion process.
Weft insertion parameters are controlled and adjusted pick by pick.
Opening blowing time of each relay nozzle valve is minimized.
Reduced air consumption requirement: cost & energy saving
Improved user-friendliness due to the simplified weft insertion handling
Overruling potentially inefficient settings

ENHANCED PERFORMANCES:
04. FAR – Pneumomechanical Weft Automatic Repair
Pneumo-mechanical weft extraction: automatic repair of short pick and automatic restart of the machine
Right-hand side pneumatic extractor for short pick
Reduced machine downtime
Increased machine efficiency
Reduced time for weavers’ operations

SUPERIOR FABRIC QUALITY:
05. BLC – Brush Lycra Clamp Nozzle
The increasingly popular trend to weave stretch and super stretch fabrics with dedicated weft yarns inspired Itema to create and patent the innovative BLC — Brush Lycra Clamp — nozzle to weave elastic weft yarns.
The BLC nozzle holds the weft in place without movable parts to ensure superior fabric quality and reliability.
Reduced air consumption
Best fabric quality: avoiding continuous air blow, the yarn is not damaged when the weft is not inserted
Improved user-friendliness: easy to maintain and ensuring cost saving
