High-performance Raschel machines

for flexible and technical spacer fabrics

Warp-knitted spacer fabrics consist of a top

surface, a bottom side and a pile yarn layer
in between three elements which can be
shaped in most variable forms. Whilst the
design of the cover faces is determined by
selecting the appropriate stitch densities,
the space in the textile is determined by the
laying angle and by the density of the pile
yarns. The outstanding variety achieved in
this way is not only decisive for the appear-
ance of the article but also for the specific
properties of the textile spacer fabrics.

Climatic regulation
High breathability
Well-directed moisture and heat
management
Can act as insulator and buffer for
humidity and heat

Elasticity of compression
Pile yarn offers excellent padding
properties
Efficient relief for bearing loads due to
large contact surface

Stretching ability
Well-directed setting of elasticity in
longitudinal and cross-wise directions

Design potential
Multifaceted surface patternings and 3D
structures
Low volume weight and possibility of
function integration

In short: all these aspects turn warp-knitted

spacers into a futuristic material which can
already be used here and now.
